What is TradeJournal?

More than a journal.
Your trading improvement system.

Most traders lose money because they repeat the same mistakes without realising it. TradeJournal gives you the tools to track every trade, understand what works, learn proven strategies, and build the consistency that makes profitability inevitable.

Record

Every trade is logged with entry, exit, P&L, setup type, emotional tags, screenshots, and personal notes. Nothing gets lost.

Understand

Win rate, profit factor, best setups, worst habits, streaks, rule violations. The Performance page shows you the truth your emotions hide.

Learn

15+ strategy guides, market structure, price action, options fundamentals, and lessons from proven traders like Qullamaggie, Minervini, and O'Neil.

How it works

Four steps. Every week.

This is not a tool you set up once and forget. It’s a weekly loop that compounds your improvement over time.

1

Import

Connect IBKR or upload CSV. All your trades appear instantly with entry, exit, fees, and P&L.

2

Document

Tag each trade with a setup type, emotional tag, screenshot, and note. Why did you enter? What happened?

3

Analyse

Open Performance. See your win rate by setup, your worst emotional patterns, your best months. Real numbers, not feelings.

4

Improve

Keep doing what works. Stop doing what doesn’t. Set rules. Break them? The journal catches it. Repeat every week.

Features

Everything a trader needs. Nothing extra.

Trade tracking

Full history: entry, exit, P&L, hold time, fees, broker. Stocks and options in one place.

Performance analytics

Win rate, profit factor, streaks, P&L by setup, by day, by month. Know your edge.

Setup & emotion tagging

Tag every trade with your setup (Breakout, VCP, EP…) and your emotional state (FOMO, Confident, Revenge…).

Screenshot reviews

Attach chart screenshots to any trade. When you review a month later, the chart tells you more than any number.

Personal risk rules

Max position size, max daily loss, max trades per day. The journal flags every violation automatically.

One-click import

IBKR Flex Query auto-import, or upload any broker’s CSV with column auto-detection. Trades appear in seconds.

Daily & monthly recaps

Expand any day to see every trade with notes. Monthly view with calendar, P&L heatmap, and journal.

Cloud synced & private

Your data is encrypted, protected by Row-Level Security. No one sees your trades. Access from any device.

Pro-grade quality stats

Profit factor, expectancy per trade, annualised Sharpe, max drawdown, avg W:L, Kelly% — every metric a fund manager checks.

52-week trading calendar

GitHub-style heatmap of every trading day. Click a day to see the trades, P&L, win rate, and best/worst pick of the session.

Any broker, one CSV drop

Native IBKR Flex sync, native Trading 212. Freedom24, Schwab, Fidelity, Degiro, Saxo, eToro — drop the CSV, the parser auto-detects every column.

GDPR-ready, no tracking

Download every byte we hold (JSON bundle), permanently delete your account in one click, never see a tracking pixel — we don’t run any.

Power tools

Beyond tracking — actually improve.

Most journals stop at “here’s your win rate”. TradeJournal includes the tools that turn raw history into a weekly improvement loop: review every trade, simulate rule changes, catch import gaps, and spot patterns you’d never see in a spreadsheet.

Trade Replay

A flashcard view of every closed trade. One question per card: “Would I take it again?” Yes / Maybe / No. After 20 reviews your re-take rate is the most honest discipline metric you’ll ever see.

What-if simulator

Replay your real history with rules toggled. “What if I had stopped at −1R?” “Skipped Mondays?” “Quit after 2 losses?” Instant gut-check on whether a discipline change actually pays.

Balance drift check

Enter your broker start + current balance. We compute Start + Realised = Expected and surface any gap. Non-zero drift exposes missing trades, wrong fees, or unrecorded dividends.

Time-of-day & symbol heatmaps

Which hour of the day is silently bleeding you? Which symbol pays your rent? P&L per hour + per ticker heatmaps with auto-generated “keep doing this / stop doing that” bullet lists.

Streaks & goals tracker

Set monthly P&L goals, win-rate targets, max-drawdown limits. Live progress bars + current win/loss streak + best-ever streak. Visible discipline beats hidden hope.

Glossary & weekly review

Every term you’ll meet — drawdown, FIFO, Kelly, gamma, VCP — explained in plain English. Plus an auto-generated weekly review you can paste into your trading group.

How it's built

Engineered for privacy, speed, and serious traders.

No tracking pixels. No data resold. No marketing fluff. Just a fast, modern app built on infrastructure that fund desks would respect.

Database

Postgres + Row-Level Security

Every table is RLS-protected on Supabase Postgres — the same engine running at GitHub, Instagram, and the EU government. Queries cannot leak across users at the database level, not just the API layer.

Privacy

GDPR by design, not by checkbox

Article 15 export (one-click full JSON bundle) and Article 17 deletion (one-click wipe of every byte) ship in the app, not a help-desk request. Hosted in the EU, no third-party trackers, no analytics SDK.

Hosting

Static, fast, Swiss-edge

The app is a single-file SPA delivered straight from Hostinger's edge. No bundler weight, no SSR cold starts — the journal opens in under a second and works offline as a guest.

Imports

Native broker pipelines

IBKR Flex Query XML parsed inline by an Edge function. Trading 212 CSV mapped natively. Anything else? Drop the CSV — the parser auto-detects entry, exit, side, fees, and FX columns.

Auth

Secure by default

Email + password with verified-email gating, password strength meter, inactivity auto-logout, and branded Supabase Auth templates. We never see, store, or log your password — only Supabase's hashed credentials.

Built by a trader

Every feature is one I needed

TradeJournal is not VC-funded. Every column in the journal exists because I missed it in my own trading. The roadmap follows my open spreadsheet of pain points — not a growth dashboard.

Who is it for?

Built for traders who want to get serious.

Swing & momentum traders

You trade breakouts, VCPs, episodic pivots. You hold days to weeks. You need to track which setups actually work for you.

Options traders

Track your calls, puts, spreads. See P&L by strategy. Learn the Greeks, IV, and hedging from the built-in education.

Beginners who want to learn

Start with the 5-stage learning path. Learn market structure before any setup. Build discipline from day one. No shortcuts.
