9.1What Gede is — and why it exists
Gede is the room you visit right before you click buy. It's a five-second gut-check that talks back. You confess the trade you're itching to make; Gede stress-tests the thinking behind it and tells you, plainly, whether it holds up.
Most tools tell you what the market is doing. Gede is different — it asks why you are doing this. The biggest losses beginners take almost never come from a bad chart. They come from a bad reason: buying because a coin already ran and you're afraid of missing out, or piling in bigger after a loss to "win it back." Gede is built to catch exactly those moments.
A few words this page uses — learn them once:
| Word | Plain meaning |
|---|---|
| Position size | How much of your money you're putting into this one trade — usually said as a percentage of your whole account. "1%" means if you had $1,000, you're risking $10. |
| Leverage | Borrowing to make your bet bigger than your cash. "5x" means a 1% price move feels like 5%. It multiplies wins and losses — a small move against you can wipe you out. |
| Stop loss | A price you decide in advance at which you'll get out if you're wrong. It's your seatbelt. Setting it before you enter is the whole point. |
| FOMO | "Fear Of Missing Out." Chasing a coin that already moved because you can't stand to watch it go without you. |
| Revenge trade | Jumping straight into another trade — often bigger — to "get back" what you just lost. It's how one loss becomes five. |
| Ledger | A running record. Gede's Ledger is your private trading diary: every trade you confess, the verdict it got, and how it actually turned out. |
9.2The confession — telling Gede the truth
The main panel is a plain text box and a few simple choosers. You describe the trade the way you'd say it to a friend, set three things about how big and risky it is, and ask for the review.
- Confession box — type the trade in plain words: "I'm about to long ETH — breakout forming, don't want to miss it."
- Sentiment pills — one-tap tags that describe your mood. Tapping one flags the trade (e.g. FOMO or revenge).
- Three choosers — Position Size, Leverage, and Stop Loss. This is how Gede measures the risk you're taking.
- Request Gede's Review — the gold button. Runs a short "scan," then delivers the verdict.
- The verdict banner — APPROVED, REVIEW REQUIRED, or DO NOT PROCEED.
- The reading + questions — a plain-English why, and the questions to answer before you cross.
- Log this to the Ledger — saves the whole thing to your private diary.
The confession box
Write it like a text message. Say what coin, which direction (buying / "longing", or selling / "shorting"), and — most important — why now. Gede reads the reason, not the ticker. The more honest you are, the more useful it is. A good confession sounds like: "About to ape into a new memecoin a friend shilled, up 300% today, feels early." That's exactly the kind of sentence Gede exists to hear.
The sentiment pills
Under the box are quick pill buttons — little rounded tags — that describe the feeling behind the trade. Tap one and it does two things: it drops matching words into your confession, and it quietly attaches a pattern flag to this trade.
| Pill | Flag it adds | What it's catching |
|---|---|---|
| Breakout entry | breakout | Entering as price pushes to new highs — fine with a plan, dangerous without one. |
| Following momentum | FOMO | Buying because it's already running and you don't want to be left behind. |
| Recovering from loss | revenge | Trying to win back money you just lost. Gede watches this one hardest. |
The three choosers
These tell Gede how much is on the line. Answer them honestly — a small, careful trade and an all-in levered gamble get very different readings.
| Chooser | Options | What Gede thinks |
|---|---|---|
| Position Size | Under 1% · 1–5% · 5–15% · Over 25% · All in | Small (under ~5%) is survivable if you're wrong. "Over 25%" and "All in" make one trade able to hurt your whole account. |
| Leverage | None · 2–3x · 5–10x · 10–25x · 25x+ | "None" is safest. Every step up shrinks the move that can liquidate you. 25x+ on a whim is a red flag by itself. |
| Stop Loss | Set before entry · Approximate · Will set after · None | "Set before entry" is the disciplined answer. "None" means you have no seatbelt — Gede will almost always push back. |
9.3The verdict — an honest reading
When you tap Request Gede's Review, you'll see a brief "scanning…" pause, then a verdict card appears. It has three parts: a colored banner, a plain-English reading, and a short list of questions.
| Verdict | Color | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| APPROVED | GREEN | Your reasoning holds up. Small size, sane leverage, a stop in place, a clear "why." Gede sees no obvious self-sabotage. Proceed with your plan. |
| REVIEW REQUIRED | AMBER | Something's off — maybe the size is a bit big, or you have no stop yet. Not forbidden, but slow down and answer the questions first. |
| DO NOT PROCEED | RED | Several warning signs at once — chasing, oversized, levered, no exit. Gede is telling you, honestly, to walk away from this one. |
The reading under the banner explains the verdict in one short paragraph — no jargon, no lecture. If you tapped a "revenge" or "FOMO" pill, or your words gave it away, the reading names it: "This looks like a revenge trade. You're sizing up right after a loss, and that's usually the account-killer, not the comeback."
The retention questions
Before it lets the moment pass, Gede asks a few short questions meant to slow your hand and make the trade concrete. You don't type answers — they're there to make you think:
- "Where exactly is the price that proves you wrong?" If you can't name it, you don't have a plan — you have a hope.
- "If it dropped 20% the second you bought, would you still want it?" A yes means conviction. A no means you're chasing.
- "Is this the plan you wrote down, or a feeling you had five minutes ago?" The honest answer is usually the whole verdict.
Baron steps in on contract addresses
If your confession includes a token's contract address — a long string starting with 0x… — Gede automatically hands it to Baron Samedi, the token-audit agent, and shows the safety result right inside the verdict. So if you paste in a brand-new token, Gede won't just judge your mood — it'll flag if the token itself is a honeypot, has a hidden mint, or reeks of a rug pull, before you spend a cent.
9.4The full walk-through — start to finish
Here's the whole ritual, in order. It takes under a minute and it's the cheapest insurance in crypto.
- Open Gede. From the header, Pantheon ▾ → Gede, or go straight to /gede.
- Type your trade. In the confession box, say what you're about to do and why — in your own words. Be honest; a half-true confession gets a half-useful answer.
- Tap a sentiment pill. If one fits your mood — Breakout entry, Recovering from loss, Following momentum — tap it. That tags the trade with the right flag.
- Set size, leverage, and stop. Pick honestly from the three choosers. If you paste a
0x…address in the box, Baron's audit runs automatically. - Request Gede's Review. Tap the gold button. Watch the short scan, then read the verdict — green, amber, or red.
- Read the reading and the questions. Take the reading seriously and actually answer the questions in your head. This is the whole point — not the button, the pause.
- Log this to the Ledger. Whatever you decide, tap Log this to the Ledger. Even the trades you skip are worth recording — that's how Gede learns your habits.
- Come back after it closes. Once the trade is done, return and record the outcome — Win, Loss, or Scratch — and the P&L %. Every outcome you log sharpens the pattern stats for next time.
9.5The Ledger — your private diary of habits
Down the right side sits the Ledger: every trade you've confessed, plus the running pattern stats that turn your history into a mirror. This is where Gede stops being a one-off gut-check and starts being a coach.
- Top recurring flag — the mistake you make most, with a count (e.g.
FOMO ×7). Your blind spot, named. - Win rate & total logged — how often your closed trades won, and how many confessions are on record.
- Entry line — each past trade shows its date, verdict badge, flag badges, and your confession text.
- Outcome buttons — after a trade closes, tap Win, Loss, or Scratch to record how it went.
- P&L % field — type the actual result (e.g.
−18.0). This feeds the win rate and the memory notes. - Clear — empties the whole Ledger. It asks first; there's no undo, and nothing was on a server to recover.
Recording an outcome (do this — it's the magic)
A confession without an outcome is just a snapshot. The Ledger only gets smart when you come back and tell it what happened.
- Find the entry. After your real trade closes, scroll the Ledger to the trade you logged.
- Tap the outcome. Choose Win (you made money), Loss (you lost), or Scratch (roughly break-even, or you skipped it).
- Enter the P&L %. Type the real percentage —
+6.5or−18.0. The pattern stats and win rate update instantly.
9.6Where Gede sits in the loop
Gede is the first of three guardians that together protect one trade from your worst instincts. Each one watches a different moment.
- Before you enter — Gede checks the reason. "Is this a plan, or a feeling?" You either cross with a verdict in hand, or you don't cross.
- During the trade — Brigitte's Vigil watches the reason. Once you're in, Maman Brigitte's Vigil watches whether the reason you gave Gede still holds — not just the price. If your thesis breaks, it tells you.
- On the way out — the exit ladder or the Passage. When it's time to close, Brigitte's trailing stop and take-profit ladder — or the Passage, the four-gate loss-interceptor — get you out with discipline instead of panic.
