kinfo is a trading journal that connects to your broker and builds a verified record of every trade you take. Your executions are imported automatically, so your track record cannot be typed in, edited or faked. WHAT KINFO DOES kinfo reads your filled orders from your broker, groups them into trades, and shows what your results actually look like: total profit and loss, win rate, average gain and average loss per trade, hold time, and performance broken down by symbol, by day and by month. You add the notes. kinfo handles the numbers. WHY VERIFIED MATTERS Anyone can post a screenshot of a green day. A kinfo track record comes straight from the broker over a read-only connection, which is why it can be trusted, and why other traders' profiles on kinfo are worth reading. WHAT YOU GET - Automatic trade import from your broker - Profit and loss per trade, per day, per symbol and all-time - Win rate, average gain, average loss, largest win, largest loss - Trading journal with daily notes, screenshots and a monthly summary - Calendar view of your trading month - Verified public profile, if you want one - Leaderboard of verified traders - Other traders' portfolios, positions and trades - Follow the traders you want to learn from WHICH BROKERS DOES KINFO SUPPORT? kinfo connects to 22+ brokers and trading platforms, including Interactive Brokers, Charles Schwab, Robinhood, TradeStation, tastytrade, E*TRADE, Fidelity, Tradier, TradeZero, Lightspeed, CenterPoint Securities, Cobra Trading, Guardian Trading, SageTrader, SuccessTrader, Ocean Securities, Zimtra, AMP Futures, NinjaTrader and MetaTrader 5. WHO IS KINFO FOR? Active traders who take it seriously: day traders, swing traders, options and futures traders, and long-term investors who want to know their real numbers. Beginners use kinfo to find out what their edge is. Experienced traders use it to prove they have one. DO I HAVE TO SHARE MY TRADES? No. Sharing is opt-in. You can use kinfo privately as a portfolio tracker and trading journal, or publish a verified profile and join the leaderboard. You choose, and you can change your mind. IS MY DATA SAFE? kinfo uses third-party aggregation partners to read trading data, with bank-level 256-bit encryption. Your broker credentials are never stored by kinfo and never pass through kinfo. Every broker connection is read-only: kinfo can read your trades and can never place an order. WHAT DOES IT COST? kinfo is free to use as a trading journal and portfolio tracker. [SLOT: one or two lines on what PRO and PRO+ add, and the price, so the paywall is not a surprise.] THE IDEA Trading is a lonely job. Only a small share of active traders are profitable over any long stretch, and fewer still make a living from it. People learn more from watching someone do a thing than from reading about it. Sport works that way, and so does trading. kinfo exists so you can measure your own trading honestly and watch verified traders do what they do.
