Chapters

This chapter, measured against your own trades

In the app the same chapter ends in your figures rather than an example: how often you did the thing it describes, over your last ninety days. You pick one change to make, and Evidence checks afterwards whether it actually changed — from your journal, arithmetic, no opinion involved. Questions you get wrong come back a week later and again a month after that.
