The workflow
Before the trade. During the trade.
After the trade.
Every serious trader runs this loop. Cortiq makes each stage explicit, inspectable, and consistent — so judgment gets easier to repeat and review.
01 · BEFORE
Session preparation
Regime, bias, key levels, scenarios, catalysts and no-trade conditions — built from your playbook and today's journal.

Inside Cortiq
Not a black box.
The reasoning is visible at every step.
Playbooks, daily prep, indicators and risk limits all live as inspectable artefacts. The AI proposes entries and reasoning; your rules still decide what gets traded.
The public process
Cortiq is the workflow behind Open Market Journal.
Every session prep you read in the journal — regime, bias, levels, invalidation — is built in Cortiq first. Then the same artefact drives the actual trade, and feeds the next day's review. No separate writing. No memory-based logs.
“The journal publishes the thesis.
Cortiq runs the workflow behind it.”

The honest part
Questions serious traders always ask.
We'd rather lose a sale than overpromise. Here's exactly what Cortiq does — and what it doesn't.
01
Is this another black-box bot?
No. Cortiq doesn't trade for you. It proposes, reasons, and logs — you (and your rules) execute. Every AI call is visible as text you can read, edit and reject.
inspectable
02
What if I'm not ready for full automation?
Most users aren't. Cortiq is built for discretionary traders first: preparation, structure, and review. Automation is an option you opt into per playbook, never a default.
discretionary-first
03
What does the AI actually do?
Summarizes context, checks your playbook conditions, flags inconsistencies, and drafts journal entries. It never controls risk limits — those are enforced by rules outside the model.

04
How hard is setup?
Windows installer, activation key, connect your MT5 account. Most users reach their first session in under 15 minutes. Detailed install guide is public.
<15 min
05
Does it promise returns?
No. Cortiq does not predict markets, promise profitability, or offer signals. It's a workflow tool. Your edge and risk remain your responsibility.

“It's useful precisely because it doesn't try to be smart. The guardrails are boring, strict, and completely outside the AI.”
