Cohort, check-ins & alerts
You were matched with an in-app cohort the moment you finished onboarding: an accountability group of up to twenty traders (separate from the monthly enrollment cohort you joined with), preferably from your part of the world, who share your struggles and interests. Your cohort is a sealed room: you see, chat with and message the people in it and nobody else, and your cohort never changes once you are placed. Cohort names are just trading names; they say nothing about where members are from. Penny and Tyler are in every cohort. For follow-up after your call, open Cohort, then Messages, and message Penny. Four sidebar pages cover it: Daily Check-in, Rough Patch, Rule Break Alerts and Cohort.
Daily Check-in
Open Daily Check-in in the sidebar. Pick green, red, flat, or no trade, how you are feeling from 1 to 5, and add an optional note. Post one every day. Your cohort sees the last week of check-ins and can react or reply under each one. While the page is open you get a notification when someone replies to yours. You can update today's check-in as often as you like. The number next to Daily Check-in in the sidebar is how many new check-ins your cohort has posted since you last opened the page.
Rough Patch
Open Rough Patch in the sidebar when you are tilted, frustrated, about to break a rule, or just having a rough week. Say it there before it turns into a blown account. Everyone in the Degen Rehab community can see Rough Patch posts and reply or react, not just your cohort. It is the one place that spans every cohort.
Tick Post anonymously if you would rather other members did not see your name. Replies can be anonymous too. Degen Rehab staff can still see who wrote an anonymous post. You can delete your own posts and replies. While the page is open you get a notification when someone replies to your post. Posts from the last 30 days are shown.
Rule Break Alerts
The app posts an alert to your cohort whenever a member breaks a rule it cannot enforce: trading off-plan, lifting a blackout early to manage a trade, or trading through a lockout. Rule Break Alerts in the sidebar lists every alert for your cohort, newest first. A bypassed lockout is shown in red, and the sidebar item turns red until you have looked. Press Hold them accountable on an alert and you land in the cohort chat with that member already mentioned, ready to say your piece. Not one for words? React to the alert with an emoji instead. The member gets a notification either way, so they know the cohort noticed.
Cohort
- Chat. A group chat for your cohort only. Paste or attach chart screenshots. Type @ to mention someone; they get a desktop notification.
- Members. The panel on the right shows who in your cohort is online. Click any name to open their profile card: their streak, platform, instruments, non-dollar rules, and their Pong best score if they play. Never their P&L.
- Leaderboard. Individual standings for everyone on Degen Rehab, ranked by disciplined days over the last 30 days. Every day you follow your plan is a disciplined day; off-plan trades and bypassed lockouts break it. Hitting your limits never hurts: that is discipline working. New members can climb fast because it counts days, not a percentage. Penny and Tyler are on it too.
- Messages. Private one-to-one conversations with people in your cohort. The list shows only people you have messaged with. To start a new one, type their name in the box at the top of the Messages tab, or click their name in the chat or the members list and press Message on their profile card. Unread counts show on the Cohort item in the sidebar and on each tab.
Do not want private messages? Turn on Do not disturb in Settings, App Behavior. Members then see "not accepting direct messages" instead of a Message button. Degen Rehab staff can still reach you, and the chat is not affected.
