Sanctuary is EdgeFlo's mental reset room. It combines a guided meditation timer, ambient soundscapes, and a curated library of psychology tools designed specifically for traders. This article explains what Sanctuary is, what it contains, and when to use each part of it.
Most trading losses are not the result of bad analysis. They come from emotional decisions made after a loss, during a slow session, or in the moments when discipline starts to slip. Sanctuary exists to interrupt that pattern. It gives you a structured way to reset your emotional state before it costs you money.
Sanctuary is not a wellness app tacked onto a trading platform. Every tool inside it was designed specifically for the psychological demands of active trading. It is a performance protection tool.
Getting to Sanctuary
Select Sanctuary from the left navigation bar. The icon is a lotus shape. Sanctuary loads immediately with the Meditation Session panel in the centre and the Your Progress panel on the right.
What Sanctuary Contains
Meditation Timer
The centrepiece of Sanctuary is a distraction-free meditation timer. It fills most of the top section of the screen. You set your duration, choose an ambient sound, configure interval bells if you want them, and press Start. The timer runs as a large circular countdown overlaid on a calm background image.
The meditation timer is designed for three moments in your trading day: grounding yourself before the market opens, resetting mid-session after a difficult trade, and winding down after your final position of the day.
Click Start to begin. The timer expands into fullscreen mode, removing all navigation and distractions. You see only the circular countdown, your remaining time, and three simple controls at the bottom: pause, restart, and volume. This creates a dedicated reset space away from charts and trade buttons.
Timer Controls:
- Restart button- Resets the timer back to your original duration and starts over
- Pause button - Pauses the countdown. When paused, this becomes a Resume button to continue
- Volume button - Adjusts the ambient sound volume or mutes it entirely
- X button - Closes the meditation session early
Post-Session Reflection
At the end of your meditation session, EdgeFlo shows a completion modal asking how you are feeling right now and what you noticed during the session. This is optional but helpful for tracking your mental state over time.
You can select an emoji that represents your current mood, add optional notes about what you noticed, and either save your reflection or skip this step entirely. Your response is logged with the session but is not required to complete it.
Your Progress Panel
On the right side of the screen, the Your Progress panel tracks your meditation consistency over time. It shows your current streak in days, a seven-day mini calendar with green dots for completed sessions and empty circles for missed days, and a running count of minutes meditated this week.
Click View Sessions to open your full meditation history. This shows all previous meditation sessions logged in your account, including the date, duration, and any reflections you recorded. You can review your consistency patterns and see how your practice has evolved over time.
Mental Toolkit
Mental Toolkit is a specialized collection of guided video exercises developed by Sanjeev Sangar. Drawing on over a decade of market experience and five years of dedicated coaching, Sangar has a proven track record of helping traders achieve funding and long-term profitability.
The content is organised into three categories: Reboot, Rewire, and Recovery. Each tool is a short guided video, typically between one and seven minutes, covering a specific emotional challenge you are likely to face as a trader.
Today I Will
In the top-right corner, above the progress panel, there is an optional Today I Will field. This is a lightweight intention-setting prompt. Type a brief intention for your session, such as your risk discipline commitment for the day, and save it. It is not required to start a meditation, but traders who use it report it helps anchor their mindset before they open a chart.
When to Use Sanctuary
| Moment | What to use | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Before the market opens | Meditation timer, 5 to 15 minutes | Arrive calm, focused, and intentional instead of reactive |
| After a losing trade mid-session | Reboot tool, 1 to 3 minutes | Break the emotional feedback loop before placing the next trade |
| After an emotionally intense session | Rewire tool, 5 to 7 minutes | Address the deeper emotional pattern, not just the immediate reaction |
| End of trading day | Recovery tool, 5 minutes | Close the session cleanly and prevent carryover into tomorrow |
| After a losing streak | Recovery tool and meditation timer | Rebuild mental baseline before returning to live trading |
What Sanctuary Is Not
Sanctuary is not therapy, not motivational content, and not spiritual wellness material. The guided tools are grounded in trading psychology and designed to protect execution quality. The goal is fewer impulsive trades, fewer blown sessions, and more consistent decision-making. Everything in Sanctuary serves that outcome.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to meditate to use Sanctuary?
No. The Mental Toolkit works separately from the meditation timer. You can use guided videos in Reboot, Rewire, or Recovery without starting a meditation session.
Does Sanctuary affect my EdgeScore?
No. EdgeScore tracks your trading performance and behavior, while Sanctuary aims to improve those behaviors but isn’t included in the score.
Is the guided content in the Mental Toolkit created by EdgeFlo?
The guided videos were made by a trading performance coach for traders, addressing common issues like revenge trading and loss acceptance.
Can I use Sanctuary during a live trading session?
Yes. Reboot tools are quick (1-3 minutes) and can be used without closing your trading platform.
Will my progress data reset if I connect a new account?
No. Your progress is linked to your EdgeFlo account, so changing broker accounts won’t affect your streaks or history.
