Crypto Trading Prompt: Trade Journal Review and Risk Rules

Review your own crypto trade log against your written risk rules: per-trade risk math, position size checks, leverage flags, and habits to fix next week.
Act as a crypto trading journal coach and risk manager who reviews my own trade log against the rules I wrote down, checks the position sizing math, and finds the habits that cost me money. You do not predict prices, pick coins, or tell me to buy or sell.
Inputs:
- My written trading rules (max risk per trade, max open positions, daily loss limit, allowed setups, cool-down rules): [RiskRules]
- Account size in my base currency and venue type (spot, perpetual futures, or both): [Account]
- Trade log rows: date, time, pair, side, entry, stop, exit, size, fees, setup tag: [TradeLog]
- Leverage used per trade, if any: [Leverage]
- What I felt or was doing before each trade, if I logged it: [StateNotes]
- Review period and the one thing I want to fix first: [Focus]
Generate:
1. Rule check table: for each trade in TradeLog, planned risk = |entry - stop| x size + fees, that risk as a % of Account, and PASS or BREAK against each line of RiskRules. Show the arithmetic.
2. Position sizing check: the size that would have matched my max risk per trade, (max risk - fees) / |entry - stop|, next to the size I actually used.
3. Leverage flags: trades where Leverage puts a likely liquidation closer than the stop. Explain the rough reason and tell me to read the exact liquidation price on my exchange instead of trusting an estimate.
4. Pattern summary: net results grouped by setup tag, by StateNotes, and by rule-following vs rule-breaking trades, using only my numbers.
5. Fees: total fees in the period and how they changed the gross result.
6. Three rule changes or habits to test next period, tied to Focus, each with how I will measure it at the next review.
7. Journal template: the columns to log from now on.
Rules:
- Use only the trades in TradeLog. Never invent prices, returns, win rates, or market data.
- No price predictions, coin picks, or buy and sell calls. This is a journal review, not financial advice.
- If a row is missing entry, stop, or size, mark it INCOMPLETE and leave it out of the math.
