A different market does not create a fresh emotional state.

RizeTrade helps IG traders review what happens when they move from one instrument to another, especially after a loss, a missed move, or a quiet session.

01IG

Market Switching Can Hide the Same Trade

An index is quiet, so you move to forex. A currency trade loses, so you look at commodities. Another market starts moving and suddenly it feels like a completely new opportunity.

Sometimes it is.

Other times, the symbol changed while the motivation did not.

You are still trying to recover, still chasing movement, or still looking for a reason to stay active.

02IG

Review the Sequence Across Markets

RizeTrade lets you return to the day and see executions on the chart, then connect those trades through tags, notes, emotions, and timing.

That helps you review the transition from one market to the next. Did the new trade meet your setup on its own, or did the previous market create the urgency?

A cross-market sequence can reveal more than reviewing each symbol separately.

03IG

Catch the Emotional Reset Illusion

Switching charts can feel like resetting the session.

It is easy to think, “That loss was on the index. This forex trade is different.”

But frustration and urgency do not reset when the symbol changes.

RizeTrade helps you see whether size, stop discipline, and setup quality deteriorate after switching markets, even when the trades appear unrelated in the account history.

04IG

Keep One Process Across Different Markets

Your setups may vary by instrument, but your behavioral rules should stay recognizable.

Track whether you chase more in one market, size differently after a loss, or keep trading longer because another market is still active.

The goal is not to make every market identical. It is to keep the trader consistent.

05IG

Track the Reason for the Switch

When you move to another market, record the reason in a few words.

“Planned session rotation” is different from “nothing moving.” “Fresh setup” is different from “need to recover.” That small note can make market switching much easier to review later.

Over time, you can separate useful flexibility from emotional movement between markets. The goal is not to stay in one instrument all day. It is to know why you left the first one and why the next one deserved your attention.

Ask Trading Mentor AI

Ask:

  • What usually happens after I switch markets?
  • Do losses in one market affect size in the next?
  • Which market switches lead to my weakest setups?
  • Does my discipline improve when I stay with one planned session?

A new chart can be a new opportunity. It should not be a hiding place for the last trade.

How it works

Three steps, then the reviewing starts. No spreadsheet, no manual entry.

  1. 1

    Bring your history in

    Connect IG or upload a CSV export. Executions are matched into trades automatically — partial fills and multi-leg options included.

  2. 2

    Tag what happened

    Setup, emotion, rule followed, stop and target. A few fields per trade is enough to make the review meaningful later.

  3. 3

    Review the patterns

    Filter by any variable and compare. The reports show which setups pay, which habits cost, and whether you followed your own plan.

Questions

Do you store my IG password?
No. RizeTrade never stores broker credentials, and never places, modifies or touches an order in your account. The connection is read-only.
How do I get my IG trades in?
Connect the account for automatic sync, or export a CSV and upload it. Either way your existing history comes in on the first import, not just trades from today onward.
Does it handle options and futures?
Yes. Verticals, condors, butterflies and diagonals are grouped as single positions rather than loose legs, and expired contracts close themselves. Futures carry their own multipliers and tick sizes.
What if I have years of history?
Import it all. A longer record makes the reports more useful, because patterns in setups, times of day and rule-breaking only become visible across a large sample.
Can I cancel?
Yes, at any time. There is also a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can import your history and see your own numbers before committing.

Stop guessing. Review your trading.

Your IG history already contains evidence of what you do well and where your process breaks down. RizeTrade helps you see it.
