Is the trading journal free?
Yes. A free account can log 3 trades a day by hand, keep 2 trading accounts and 1 active profit goal, and import up to 100 trades from a CSV file or a MetaTrader 4 statement. Every new account also gets 30 days of Pro free, no card required, and Pro removes these limits. CSV export is always free.
Can I import trades from MetaTrader 4 or my broker?
Yes. Upload a MetaTrader 4 HTML statement and every closed trade comes in with the broker's own profit figure; importing the same statement again never creates duplicates. Any broker's CSV works through column mapping, and on Pro a screenshot of a trade or a trade history is read automatically and shown for review before anything is saved.
How are P&L and the R-multiple calculated?
P&L is (exit − entry) × quantity × point value, minus commission and swap, with the sign flipped for a short. 1R is the money you risked: type it in, or leave it blank and the journal derives it from your stop loss. The R-multiple is net P&L divided by 1R, so +2R means you made twice what you risked.
Does it work for futures, options and forex?
Yes, as well as crypto, stocks, ETFs, commodities and sports bets. Futures take their point value from a built-in contract table (/ES, /NQ and the micros) and the form warns you when it is missing; forex trades show lots and pips; options can hold multi-leg spreads, Greeks and days to expiration.
What statistics does the journal show?
Win rate, profit factor, expectancy, average R, max drawdown, Kelly %, win and loss streaks, the equity curve and a P&L calendar, plus P&L by weekday, hour, strategy, ticker, tag and trading style. Everything filters by period, account, strategy and asset type, and the Compare view puts this period next to the previous one.
How does the AI trading coach work?
It grades a closed trade on process, not outcome, so a disciplined loss can score well and a sloppy win poorly. Journal insights look for recurring patterns across all your trades, and the chat answers questions about your data and can fill in the trade form. A free account gets one trade review and three chat messages a day. It is education, not financial advice.
Can I share my journal with a mentor or trading partner?
Yes. Create a shared journal and invite people by email as an administrator, editor or viewer. A mentor with viewer access sees every trade and chart for free; writing into a shared journal needs your own Pro. Your personal journal, goals and day notes stay private. You can also share a read-only performance link or a single trade as an image.
Can I export my trades, and what if I delete one by mistake?
CSV export is free at any time and keeps every trade's amounts together with a currency column, so the file imports back cleanly. A deleted trade goes to the Trash at the bottom of the Trades tab, where you can restore it exactly as it was or delete it permanently.
