The Trader's GPS (Trading Plan and Daily Missions)
Success in your daily trading does not depend on auditing your past, but on actively planning and controlling your risk every single day. Kaptur transforms your long-term profit targets into a mathematical Trader's GPS that calculates your executable daily goals and risk limits in real time.
1. Setting Up Your Trading Plan (3-Step Wizard)
To structure your new action plan, Kaptur will guide you through a simple 3-step planning wizard:
Step 1: Choose a Plan Select one of the predefined templates by swiping through Kaptur's cards:
- Starter: Capital of $500, Target of $1,000, 10% estimated return.
- Growth: Capital of $1,000, Target of $5,000, 10% estimated return.
- Momentum: Capital of $3,000, Target of $10,000, 10% estimated return.
- Accelerator: Capital of $10,000, Target of $50,000, 10% estimated return.
- Elite: Capital of $50,000, Target of $200,000, 10% estimated return.
- Custom: Define your own rules. Enter the starting capital, profit target, return percentage per trade, and estimated duration in days.
Step 2: Configuration Select the trading account you want to associate with this plan and the start date. You can also choose the calculation type for the projection curve:
- Linear: Target distribution remains constant over time.
- Compound: Compounds interest based on your rate of return per trade.
Step 3: Summary Review the detailed information of the generated plan (Starting Capital, Profit Target, Return per Trade, Estimated Duration, Calculation Type) before starting. Tap Generate Plan to activate it instantly.
2. Monitoring Your Active Trading Plan
Once configured and active, the dashboard becomes your daily control center:
- Daily Missions Ring (Activity Ring): A central interactive circle representing your daily PnL progress against your daily target. It dynamically shifts colors based on your performance.
- Curve Projection (Line Chart): Graphically plots your actual account balance against the theoretical curve (linear or compound) of the trading plan. It alerts you if you are trailing behind or running ahead of the mathematical path.
- Goal Progress: Live progress bar showing the percentage completed, achieved profit, and remaining amount to reach your final target.
3. Floating Calculator Integration (HUD)
Your trading plan dynamically feeds our on-screen floating calculator:
- If you calculate a trade on your device and the resulting monetary risk exceeds your daily risk limit, the HUD background turns solid RED as a visual safety warning.
- If the trade risk remains within your safe parameters for the day, the HUD remains GREEN (or dark-colored), protecting your account from catastrophic losses.
