A coach letter every Monday, built from your own week

Monday to Sunday, read for you

The weekly review runs over the last completed Monday-to-Sunday week: every closed trade in that window, the same paired trades the journal engine already computed, feeds the letter. You don’t assemble anything — PnL Book reads the week and writes it up, the way a trading coach would if you actually had one checking in every Monday.

The first-run problem most reviews get wrong

Here’s a case that’s easy to overlook and common in practice: a new user imports months of historical screenshots, none of which happen to land in the specific Monday– Sunday window that just closed, then clicks “Generate” and gets a dead end. PnL Book handles it with a first-run rescue — if the last completed week has no trades, the review widens its scope to your most recent trades instead of returning nothing, so your first letter always has something real to work with. Reviews you request for an explicit date range, or scoped on-demand, keep their strict window — an empty result there is meaningful and isn’t rescued.

What’s actually in the letter

Every claim in it is cited from your own ledger: what worked, what leaked, and a process fix for the week ahead — built from the same win rate, expectancy and profit-factor numbers, and aware of anything caught by mistake tagging that week. It never tips into a view on tomorrow’s market, a price target or a recommended setup — the letter looks backward at trades you already made, the same compliance line that runs through every PnL Book feature.

Why Monday, specifically

A review you write yourself tends to happen on the day you feel like writing it — which, after a losing week, is exactly the day it doesn’t happen. Fixing the day removes that choice: the letter is waiting Monday morning whether last week was your best or your worst, and reading a bad week’s numbers before the new week starts is precisely when a habit like overtrading or a revenge entry is easiest to catch before it repeats. That’s the same logic behind the first-run rescue above: the review exists to be read, not to be a perfect empty inbox when you skip a week.

How often you get one

Pro plans get the Monday letter automatically, no clicking required, plus up to 20 on-demand analyses a month if you want a review outside the weekly cadence — right after a rough day, say, instead of waiting until Sunday. Building the habit of actually reading it is its own skill; a weekly review routine covers how to make that stick, and the P&L calendar is a good first glance before the letter arrives.
