Stefan Hertweck
Trading Mentor & Coach

From frustrated trader to coach – and founder of the first AI-powered trading journal with a psychology focus. This is the story behind FlowTrader AI.

Why I built FlowTrader AI

I started trading futures in 2018. Like most traders, I jumped from strategy to strategy, tested indicators, and bought courses. My strategy wasn’t the problem – I was the problem.

I knew exactly what I had to do. But I didn’t do it. Revenge trading after losses, FOMO entries, moving stop-losses. The classic vicious cycle. And I wasn’t alone – when I started coaching other traders in 2019, I saw: Almost everyone has the exact same problems.

The realization was clear: Trading psychology is the real problem. Not the strategy. Not the market. Not the broker. It’s the trader’s mind.

“90% of traders don’t fail because of their strategy – they fail because of themselves. And that’s exactly where FlowTrader AI comes in.”

How the AI mentor works

Stefan’s coaching experience – automated through AI and available whenever you trade.

🧠

Personality questions

The AI coach gets to know you – your strengths, weaknesses, trading style, and emotional patterns. The more it knows, the better its coaching becomes.

📓

Journal reactions

Write your trading journal and the AI coach responds to it. It recognizes emotional patterns, provides feedback, and asks the right questions.

🎯

Weekly missions

Each week you receive a personalized mission – based on your current challenges. Small steps, big impact.

💬

Chat coaching

Chat with your AI mentor anytime. Before trading, after trading, or when you’re in an emotional low. It’s always there.

📈

Grows with you

The AI coach improves the longer you use it. It recognizes your progress, adapts its coaching, and celebrates your wins with you.

🔒

Private & secure

Your data belongs to you. Everything stays between you and your AI coach. No sharing with third parties, no public profiles.

Stefan’s books on trading psychology

Every book was born from practice – from personal mistakes and working with coaching students. FlowTrader AI is the digital implementation of these insights.
