Vanguard's built for the long haul, but even long-horizon self-directed accounts leak returns to behavior. Gecko names the leaks, in dollars, and coaches you through them.
Vanguard name and marks belong to their respective owners. Gecko is independent and not endorsed by, sponsored by, or affiliated with Vanguard.

The output is a behavioral diagnosis — the patterns costing you money, named in dollars, across twelve axes. Then a daily coaching loop that keeps the diagnosis in front of you so the leaks close over weeks, not disappear from memory over days.
Connect once via SnapTrade. New Vanguard trades flow into Gecko automatically on Pro and Unlimited. Statement upload stays available on every plan as the always-works fallback.

The moment a losing Vanguard trade closes, Gecko detects the tilt window opening and pushes an alert to your phone — before the revenge trade, not after.

Every proverb tested against the academic research and against the behaviors Gecko measures in your own trades.
