Introducing the Edge Companion: A Free App That Answers “Does Your State Predict Your Results?”

2 min read

Most traders track what they did. Almost none track the state they were in when they did it.

You already suspect it: the blown trades cluster on the bad-sleep days, the revenge entries follow the stressful mornings. Today we’re launching a free tool built to turn that suspicion into a number you can see — the Edge Companion, a daily Mind · Method · Money check-in and trade journal that lives on your phone.

What it actually does

Every morning, you check in across the three pillars: your mental state, whether you followed your plan, your risk discipline, and your physical state — sleep, exercise, screen fatigue. That produces a single Edge Score for the day.

You log your trades the same way you always have — day or swing, planned R versus actual, setup tag, emotions, a screenshot if you want one.

Then the app does the one thing nothing else does well: it shows you your win rate on high-Edge days versus low-Edge days, side by side, with the sample size attached. Real correlation from your own data. Nothing invented, nothing guessed.

Why it’s free and why it’s private

There’s no account, no signup, and no cloud upload. Your check-ins, your trades, and your screenshots stay on your device. It works fully offline. That wasn’t a marketing decision — a discipline tool that asks you to be honest about your worst trading days should not be asking you to hand that data to a server.

What’s inside

  • Daily Edge Score with a breakdown of exactly which pillar is dragging today down
  • The correlation view — the state-versus-results chart that’s the whole point of the app
  • Trade journal with a “followed my plan?” toggle that feeds a real discipline score, not a guessed one
  • Streaks and Edge Levels — earned by habits, never by profit
  • A built-in position size and R:R calculator that sends straight to your journal, with the book’s risk floor baked in

Install it in 20 seconds

It’s a Progressive Web App — no app store, no download, nothing to approve. Open it in your phone’s browser, then:

iPhone (Safari): tap Share → Add to Home Screen → Add.
Android (Chrome): tap the ⋮ menu → Install app → Confirm.

From there it opens instantly, works offline, and sits on your home screen like any other app.

Full details, screenshots, and the install walkthrough live on the Edge Companion page. Or skip straight to it:

The Edge Companion is built on the same Mind · Method · Money framework as The Complete Trader’s Edge. The book goes deep on the method; the app is where you practice it, one honest check-in at a time.
