What's Holding Your Trading Back?
Click a problem to see the solution
Hit a word cap? Reached your screenshot limit? Free trial already ended? You stop logging trades before you really even started. A trade journal shouldn't limit you, it should help you improve your trading outcomes.
Mobile trading, desktop journaling? By the time you're back at your desk the context is gone & the trade goes unlogged. Adding a trade note shouldn't mean scrolling through months of data just to find the right day
Can’t easily sift through your trade data? Without a way to spot the outcomes of your setups, you can’t see which strategies are driving profits or how trade psychology is influencing your decisions.
Paying for a trade journal isn’t paying off? Trade analysis shouldn’t have you flipping between 100 tabs just to review your trades. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, burned out, and give up on journaling entirely.
Why Keeping a Trade Journal Matters
If you're not tracking your trades, you're not improving. The best traders learn from their data.
No Plan, No Direction
Without a stock trade journal, you're trading blind. You need a place to map your entries, exits, and strategy — and track if you're sticking to it.
Consistency Builds Results
A plan only works if you follow it. Journaling helps you stay consistent and develop the discipline that leads to long-term success.
See What’s Really Working
Guesswork doesn’t scale. A journal shows whether your strategy delivers results and where it needs refining.
Improve With Insight
Patterns emerge when you log your trades. Journaling reveals strengths, weaknesses, and emotional triggers so you can trade with clarity.

Serious About Improving?
Journaling adds structure and accountability to your trading. Logging your trade sessions in an online trading journal builds better habits and eliminates emotional decision-making over time.

Using a Trade Journal Template?
Templates and spreadsheets are a great free starting point, but they’re not built for traders. Manual input is time-consuming, so traders often stop journaling and miss out on valuable insights.

What about other Journals?
Online trade journals can be effective, but many require payment to keep using their core features. Your journaling progress shouldn’t end just because a free trial does.
