Question 1

What is EdgeBuddy and how does it help traders?

Accepted Answer

EdgeBuddy is an AI-powered trading coach that analyzes your derivatives trades to detect behavioral patterns like revenge trading, FOMO, and tilt. Unlike traditional trading journals that just log data, EdgeBuddy has conversations with you about your trading behavior, asking questions that help you recognize and fix recurring mistakes.

Question 2

Does EdgeBuddy provide financial advice or trading signals?

Accepted Answer

No. EdgeBuddy is strictly an educational tool for behavioral awareness. We do not provide financial advice, investment recommendations, or trading signals. All insights are based on your own historical trading data and are meant to help you recognize patterns in your behavior, not tell you what to trade.

Question 3

Which cryptocurrency exchanges does EdgeBuddy support?

Accepted Answer

EdgeBuddy supports five major derivatives exchanges: Binance USDT-M Perpetuals, Bybit Derivatives, OKX Futures, Hyperliquid Perpetuals, and Lighter DEX. We sync your trades automatically via read-only API keys, analyzing up to 90 days of trading history across all connected exchanges.

Question 4

How does EdgeBuddy detect behavioral patterns like revenge trading?

Accepted Answer

EdgeBuddy builds a 30-day rolling baseline of YOUR normal trading behavior - your typical position sizes, trade frequency, leverage usage, and timing. When you deviate significantly from your baseline (like trading larger after losses or increasing frequency after a losing streak), EdgeBuddy detects it and brings it to your attention through conversation.

Question 5

Is my exchange API key safe with EdgeBuddy?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All API keys are encrypted using AES-256 encryption before storage. We only request read-only permissions to fetch your historical trades. EdgeBuddy cannot execute trades, withdraw funds, or modify your exchange account in any way. Your trading capital is never at risk.

Question 6

What behavioral patterns can EdgeBuddy detect?

Accepted Answer

EdgeBuddy detects 12+ behavioral patterns including: Revenge Trading (trading impulsively after losses), FOMO Entries (chasing pumps), Overtrading (exceeding normal frequency), Tilt (emotional deviation from strategy), Disposition Effect (cutting winners early, holding losers), Leverage Spikes, Risk Escalation, and more. Each detection includes confidence scores based on deviation from your personal baseline.

Question 7

How is EdgeBuddy different from traditional trading journals?

Accepted Answer

Traditional journals are passive - you log trades and maybe look at charts later. EdgeBuddy is active - it analyzes your behavior against your own baseline, detects patterns you might miss, and has actual conversations with you about what it finds. It remembers previous sessions and follows up on issues you said you would work on. Think of it as a trading buddy who happens to be a quant.

Question 8

Can EdgeBuddy help me stop overtrading?

Accepted Answer

Yes. EdgeBuddy tracks your daily trade count against your 30-day baseline average. When you exceed your normal trading frequency - especially after losses - it flags this as potential overtrading and asks you questions to help you recognize the pattern. The goal is awareness: once you see the pattern, you can choose to break it.
