They have a BEAUTIFUL product here

They have a BEAUTIFUL product here, and offer a lot even on the free tier. I rarely leave reviews but this is the least I could do for a product I LOVE.

All nice

The best site for checking your trading account. Very useful, especially the calendar part that calculates your performance on day, week, and month. I appreciate the team of TraderWaves for the hard work.

FREE and unreal

These guys really deserve a 5 star rating. I paid premium amount to a well-known trading journal platform (Tradezilla). These guys provide the same for free. Huge shoutout to the team.

Best journal ever

I tried several journaling apps and out of the 4 I have used none beats TraderWaves. I love the simple UI, account linking, and updates. A five star doesn't do it justice — I think a 10 star will.
