Your P&L tells you if you made money. It doesn't tell you if you traded well. TradePlan does. Import your broker statement and TradePlan rebuilds every round-trip trade to the exact penny β€” then gives you a clear daily verdict: On Plan, or Broke a Rule. No more guessing whether a green day was skill or luck, or whether a red day was a bad setup or bad discipline. Built for momentum day traders. FOLLOW YOUR PLAN β€’ A clear daily verdict on every session: On Plan or Broke a Rule β€’ Start from a proven momentum ruleset, then tweak every rule to fit your style β€’ Rules for max daily loss, daily goal, max trades, position size, consecutive losses, give-back, cutoff time, and win/loss ratio β€’ See exactly which rules you break most β€” and which you follow cleanly β€’ Build a discipline streak and keep it alive TO-THE-CENT ACCURACY β€’ Import from thinkorswim, or map any broker's CSV (Lightspeed, Webull, and more) β€’ Every fill grouped into real round-trip trades β€’ Commissions and fees included β€” the numbers match your broker TRADER ANALYTICS β€’ Net P&L, win rate, profit factor, expectancy, P/L ratio β€’ Per-share P&L on winners and losers β€’ Performance by time of day, day of week, price range, and long vs short β€’ Equity curve, daily P&L, drawdown, win/loss streaks β€’ Plain-English takeaways: when you make money, and when you give it back KNOW YOUR SETUPS Tag each trade's pattern as a Bull Flag, Micro Pullback, ABCD, Cup & Handle, Flat Top Breakout, VWAP Hold, Gap & Go, and more. TradePlan shows which setups actually pay off for you, with win rate and net P&L per pattern. HEAD CHECK (optional) Trading is mental. Log how you showed up β€” sleep, breakfast, mindset β€” and TradePlan lines it up against your results. See stats like "You're On Plan 85% after good sleep vs 20% after poor sleep." Never forced, always optional, one tap to turn off. A CALENDAR THAT MAKES SENSE Every trading day at a glance, green and red, with weekly and monthly totals. Tap any day to see its trades, its verdict, and the rules you kept or broke. 100% PRIVATE, 100% OFFLINE Everything stays on your phone. No account. No cloud. No tracking. No ads. Your trades never leave your device β€” ever. Move to a new phone with a single backup file you control. SUBSCRIPTION TradePlan is free for 30 days. To continue after that, TradePlan Monthly is $2.99/month. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically each month unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.

Trader Journal Forex Analytics

Read full description

Your P&L does not tell the whole story. Trader Journal is a trading journal built around one question: did you follow your process? Plan a trade, record what actually happened, and review the rules, decisions, and emotions behind the outcome. A losing trade can show excellent execution. A profitable trade can still hide a broken rule. PLAN BEFORE THE OUTCOME β€’ Record the setup, entry condition, invalidation, stop, target, and planned risk β€’ Attach the personal rules that matter for the trade β€’ Capture market context, timeframe, session, confidence, and emotion β€’ Convert a plan into an active or closed trade without re-entering it REVIEW PLAN VS. EXECUTION β€’ Compare planned entry, stop, and target with the recorded execution β€’ Review partial exits, fees, position changes, and the complete trade timeline β€’ Classify every reviewed result as a good win, good loss, bad win, or bad loss β€’ See a transparent discipline score calculated from your own answersβ€”not from profit JOURNAL FROM SCREENSHOTS, VOICE, OR CSV β€’ Import chart screenshots and confirm every field the AI proposes β€’ Keep pre-trade, entry, management, exit, and confirmation screenshots together β€’ Dictate a note, review the transcript, and approve suggested emotions or deviations β€’ Map generic broker CSV columns with date, decimal, and currency controls FIND THE PATTERNS IN YOUR OWN RECORDS β€’ Track rule adherence, expectancy, profit factor, R multiples, drawdown, and percentage return β€’ Review results by setup, asset class, market, account, direction, session, emotion, and weekday β€’ Journal stocks, cryptocurrency, forex, futures, options, indices, and commodities β€’ Keep different currencies separate so unrelated amounts are never silently added together β€’ Get sample-size warnings before reading too much into a small history PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your journal works without an account and is stored locally on your device. Hide monetary values with one tap, blur screenshots in privacy mode, lock the app with device authentication, export a readable local copy, or delete everything from Profile. Content submitted to an optional AI feature is sent over an encrypted connection and is never sent to advertising or product analytics. TRADER JOURNAL PRO Trader Journal Pro is available as an auto-renewing weekly or yearly subscription. Pro unlocks unlimited trades, screenshot extraction, voice journaling, CSV import, advanced weekly reviews, PDF export, custom rules, and multiple screenshots. Prices and any trial terms are shown by the App Store before purchase. Subscriptions renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings. Restore Purchases is available in the app. Trader Journal is a journaling and self-review tool. It does not provide investment advice, trading signals, recommendations, or guarantees. Trading involves risk, including possible loss of capital. Historical patterns do not guarantee future results.
