The closed loop

Others give you a form. We give you a system.

Improvement isn't a feature — it's a loop. Sage is the only platform where every stage feeds the next.

01 / 06

Plan

Mark up the chart, size the trade from your risk, and confirm a checklist that can hard-block the entry.

02 / 06

Execute

Two-moment capture: lock your reasoning before you enter — hindsight can't rewrite it.

03 / 06

Log

Trades journal themselves — chart snapshot, R-multiple, session and tags. Or auto-log from MetaTrader 5.

04 / 06

Review

A strict AI coach grades the process, not the P&L — and challenges your own verdict.

05 / 06

Discover

The Edge Lab re-simulates every trade at a fixed R:R and ranks your sessions, setups and tags by real edge.

06 / 06

Improve

Goals and tilt detection enforce the fix — the one action that carries to your next trade.

Backtest & replay

Replay the market candle by candle.

A full TradingView workspace with the market paused at your cursor. Step forward one candle at a time, place trades at the moment you'd really have seen the setup, and never peek at what happens next.

  • Leak-proof replay — the chart can only ever show revealed candles
  • Trade tickets, stops and targets you drag on the chart
  • Session boxes and Fair Value Gap zones that build as price does
  • 16 timeframes from 1m to 1W, all from one candle store

Capture + AI coach

Capture the intent, not just the outcome.

Arm your reasoning before entry; it locks on fill. After the trade, a strict mentor grades entry quality against your own baseline, classifies good vs bad losses, and gives one testable action.

  • Two-moment ARM → RESOLVE capture
  • Decision-latency & plan-adherence metrics
  • Good-loss vs bad-loss classification
  • It challenges your own self-verdict

Edge Lab

Find the edge hiding in your data.

Re-simulate every trade you’ve taken at a fixed 1R, 2R or 3R target — from the real 1-minute path, not an estimate — then see which sessions, setups and tags actually carry your edge, ranked against your own baseline.

  • R:R simulator: what a fixed target would really have paid
  • Sharpe · Sortino · Kelly · SQN · probability of ruin
  • Monte Carlo: ruin risk & drawdown percentiles
  • MAE/MFE reconstructed from stored 1m candles

Journal & psychology

See your year at a glance.

A timeline feed, a P&L calendar with a GitHub-style heatmap, and a psychology layer that catches tilt and revenge trades from your own timestamps — before the next entry.

  • Calendar + year heatmap · timeline feed
  • 30-second daily check-ins · mood vs performance
  • Automatic revenge-trade detection
  • CSV import from MT4/MT5/cTrader/TradingView

The difference is discipline, made visible.

Without Sage

  • Screenshots in a folder you never reopen
  • "I think that setup works"
  • P&L is the only feedback
  • Tilt noticed a week too late
  • Rules you hope you followed

With Sage

  • Every trade auto-journaled & graded
  • "3R targets beat your 1.5R exits by +0.4R/trade"
  • Process grade, separate from the outcome
  • Tilt flagged before the next entry
  • Rules the platform verifies for you

Why it's different

Four things most journals can't do.

Not positioning — architecture. Each of these is a property of how the platform is built.

No lookahead, by construction

Replay that cannot cheat

The chart is a pure function of your replay cursor — the datafeed physically cannot return a candle you haven't reached, on any timeframe. Switch from 5m to 4h mid-session and the higher timeframe still only shows what you'd have known.

Exact, not inferred

R:R answered, not guessed

“Should I have held for 3R?” is answered from the actual 1-minute price path: your entry and original stop race a fixed target, candle by candle. Results aren't truncated at wherever you exited, and gaps fill at the open like they really would.

Free forever, no paid API

Broker sync with no password

A free MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor reads your closed history and posts it to your journal. It never asks for your broker credentials and cannot place, modify or close an order. It also captures the stop that was live at fill — which is what makes an R-multiple real.

Process over outcome

Grades you can't flatter

Setup grades come from evidence — your pre-trade checklist, where your stop actually was, how far price went against you — not from a dropdown you pick after seeing the result.

Your data, your workspace

Every account is an isolated org. Your trades are never pooled, sold, or used to train anything.

Private by default

Nothing is public. No social feed, no leaderboards unless you opt in.

Self-hostable

Runs on your own VPS with MongoDB + MinIO. Own the whole stack if you want to.

Questions, answered.

No. The journal, backtesting workspace, replay, Edge Lab and AI coach work for any instrument you trade — forex, metals, futures, indices or crypto. XAUUSD simply ships with the deepest bundled candle history.

No — but you can, for free. Log trades manually in seconds, bulk-import a CSV from MT4, MT5, cTrader or TradingView, or install the free MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor to auto-log every closed trade. It never asks for your broker password.

It only sees your own trades — never generic advice. It grades process against your own baseline, cites your real numbers, and refuses to invent patterns from too little data.

Completely. Each account is an isolated workspace. Nothing is public, nothing is sold, and you can self-host the entire stack on your own server.

Nothing. The entire platform — journal, backtesting workspace, replay, Edge Lab, MetaTrader 5 auto-logging and the AI coach — is completely free to use.

Your next 100 trades could actually make you better.

Create your workspace in ten seconds. Free forever, no card, your data stays yours.
