Rate yourself 1–5 this week. A low score quietly surfaces as a reminder in your pre-trade gate.
→ Define your risk %. 0.5%, 1%, 2% — choose what keeps you in the game through a losing streak. That is amanah.
→ Personal daily limit. Set your daily loss limit at 40% of the firm's limit. Stop when you hit it — no exceptions.
→ Tawakkul after entry. Once the trade is on with a proper stop, release the outcome. You have done your work.
→ Kibr guard. After a winning streak, reduce your size slightly. The nafs inflates. The rules hold it down.
→ Hawl (lunar year). Zakat is due once your wealth has stayed above nisab for one full lunar year (~354 days, approximate). Niyyah counts from the date you set. Note: by the majority view, if your wealth drops below nisab at any point during the year, the hawl restarts — Niyyah can't see that, so confirm continuity yourself.
→ Wealth held, not gains. Zakat is assessed on the trading wealth you hold at hawl-end (account balance + other zakatable assets), not on your P&L. Unrealized P&L of an open position isn't counted. Your realized P&L is pulled from your journal for context only.
→ Above nisab. Below the nisab threshold no zakat is due. The silver basis is broader (more zakat owed) — most contemporary scholars recommend it.
→ Niyyah is not a fatwa. Madhhab rulings differ on day-trading capital, leverage, and futures. Verify your specific situation with a qualified scholar — the FAQ on the landing page links to resources.
صَبْر Sabr — Patience is the strategy. Zero trades because nothing qualified = winning session.
تَوَكُّل Tawakkul — Release the outcome. Set your stop. Set your target. Execute. Release.
كِبْر Kibr — The silent killer. After wins the nafs whispers "I've figured it out." Same rules, always.
شُكْر Shukr — End every session grateful. Win or lose. Returns clean the next day.
→ Risk only your defined % per trade — set it once, never deviate
→ Personal daily limit: 40% of firm's
→ Maximum 3 trades per session
→ Minimum 2:1 reward to risk
→ No trading first 15 minutes of open
→ Stop after 2 consecutive losses
→ No trading around high-impact news
✕ Never miss Salah for a trade
✕ Never move your stop
✓ Zero trades today = winning session
✓ Lost with discipline = system working
Step 1 — Entry: Tap the + button. Answer the gate questions. Fill in instrument, setup, entry/stop/target. Tap Enter Trade. Go trade.
Step 2 — Close: When done, come back. Tap Close Trade. Fill in exit price, P&L, outcome, emotion, and one lesson.
1. Did you wait for your full setup criteria? — Sabr made measurable.
2. Are there 2 or more confluences? — Separates trading from maysir.
3. Are you in a calm, clear state? — The single strongest predictor of outcome.
بِسْمِ اللَّه — Bismillah
Did you say Bismillah before entering? Starting with Allah's name is sunnah before any meaningful action. It anchors your intention.
صَلَاة — Salah
Are you up to date with your prayers? No salah currently owed? No trade is worth missing a prayer. If you owe a salah right now — stop, pray, then trade.
لَيْسَ مَيْسِر — Not Gambling
Is this a clear setup with defined risk, or is it a gamble? Maysir (gambling) is haram. A trade without a defined stop, a clear setup, and a logical reason is maysir — regardless of whether it wins.
وَقَايَة — Protection (Stop Loss)
Is your stop loss set before entering? Setting a stop is amanah — you are protecting the capital that Allah entrusted to you. A trade without a stop is reckless with a trust.
The five prayer buttons on your dashboard are meant to be tapped throughout the day — once for each salah, when you've prayed it. You are not expected to do this during a trade.
Over time, the app builds a correlation between your prayer consistency and your trading performance. The prayer radar in Analytics shows the win rate for each prayer — on days you prayed Fajr, what was your win rate vs days you didn't.
Most traders who use this consistently find the same pattern: full-prayer days outperform partial-prayer days. Not because Allah rewards the market — but because the discipline and mental clarity that produces consistent prayer also produces consistent trading.
Every trade receives a Quality Score from 0–100. It is calculated from four things:
Important: The score also detects contradictions. Entering calm but exiting in distress, or winning while overconfident, will compress your score. It measures alignment, not just compliance.
Why does this matter more than P&L? A trade can win by luck with zero quality. A high-quality trade that loses still builds your edge. Track your average quality score over 20 trades — if it's above 70, you are building a real system. The P&L will follow.
The Playbook is where you document every setup you trade. Not just the name — the full criteria: what needs to be present, what invalidates it, your minimum R:R, your preferred instrument, typical hold time.
Once a setup is in your Playbook, you can select it when logging a trade. Over time the app shows you the win rate, total P&L, and average P&L per trade for each setup — automatically, from your real trades.
Why this matters: Most traders have 1–2 setups that actually work and 3–4 they should stop taking. The Playbook will show you which is which. The data removes the self-deception.
Once your trade is entered, the In Trade page becomes your companion. It shows your live position — instrument, direction, entry, stop, target.
Below it is a tawakkul reminder — a verse and explanation about releasing the outcome to Allah. Your job is done when you set your stop and your target. Everything after that belongs to Allah.
The dhikr counter lets you count SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, and Allahu Akbar while you wait. Traders who are doing dhikr are not watching the P&L fluctuate tick by tick. That detachment is tawakkul in practice.
The rules reminder states the four things you must not do: move your stop, add to the position, treat P&L fluctuation as information, or despair if you hit your stop.
P&L by day of week tells you which days you trade best. P&L by time of day tells you when. Most traders have 1–2 time slots where they consistently perform and several where they consistently lose. The data shows you where to focus — and where to stop.
The Journal is one page for your whole day. Three sections:
Morning: Set your intention before opening any chart. Write what you will do — not what you'll earn. Set your loss limit and max trades. Check the pre-session checklist. This anchors the session in discipline before the first candle forms.
Evening: Honest reflection. Did you follow your rules? What happened to your nafs? What's one specific fix for tomorrow? What are you grateful for? The shukr question matters — a trader who ends a losing day with genuine gratitude returns the next day clean.
Weekly Nafs Check (optional): Rate yourself 1–5 on Sabr, Tawakkul, Kibr, and Shukr. This is between you and Allah. Over weeks, the trend tells you which virtue needs work — and that inner work directly improves your trading.
