The journal that catches your worst habit before it costs you the account.
Most trading journals bury you in numbers. This one opens on a single screen: what cost you money last session, what you did well, and the one thing to do differently today.
You don't lose from lack of analysis
You lose from revenge trading, oversizing, breaking your daily loss cap, trading under pressure. This journal attacks the behavior that blows accounts, not just pretty stats.
One screen first. Everything else when you need it.
You open it, you read your day, you know your focus. The deep analytics are one tap away, never in your face.
One focus, one number
The journal prices every habit in your own money and picks the one costing you most.
Your last session, in plain words
What you did well comes first, then what cost you, then one lesson.
Leaks priced in your money
Bigger bets after a loss, over-trading, cutting winners short, your costliest emotion, found for you.
A weekly letter
Every weekend: how the week closed, how it compares, and your focus for the next.
Deep analytics, one tap away
Equity curve, score, calendar, reports, playbooks and multi-account prop tracking.
Rich trade journal
Tag emotion, setup and mistakes; rich notes with images on every trade.
A 30-second day close
How you traded and one line for tomorrow. It is waiting when you come back.
Motivation that shows up
Your ‘Why’ front and center, louder when your discipline drops.
Easy import
CSV from Tradovate or a generic format. Restore backups too.
See it in action
A real journal, built for discipline. Here's what it looks like in use.
One screen that tells you what to fix
Coach's Read tells you what happened and what to fix. KPIs, the clean-day scoreboard and your top insight, all auto-calculated the moment you import.
Tag every trade in seconds
Emotion, panel context, bias, setup, mistakes and a rich note per trade. The day's equity curve turns red under water and green in profit.
A grade out of 100, and your weakest point
Six factors, win rate, profit factor, avg win/loss, drawdown, recovery and consistency, on a radar, with the one thing dragging your score down called out.
Your whole month at a glance
Daily P&L with trades and win rate in each cell, weekly totals on the side, and a dot for discipline kept or broken.

Questions people ask
Is it really free?
Yes, the full journal is free, no trial, no card, no feature paywalled behind a plan. It stays free because it's part of TradeDadLog, not a startup chasing a subscription.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your trades live in your own account, protected by row-level security, nobody else, including us, can see them. The public scorecard is opt-in and only shares what you choose to show.
Do I need trades already imported to start?
No. The Daily Routine and check-in work with zero data from day one, and "Should I trade today?" reads your recent discipline the moment you have any history at all.
Which brokers or CSV formats work?
Tradovate, TopstepX, Vest and MyFundedPerpetuals (perps) are auto-detected, TradingView's Strategy Tester export and Tradezella-style exports work too, and a generic parser covers most other CSVs (date, symbol, side, entry, exit, size, pnl). If yours doesn't import cleanly, tell us and we'll add it.
Is this financial advice?
No. This is an educational journaling and analytics tool. It doesn't recommend trades or strategies, it reflects your own data back at you. Trading futures carries real risk of loss.
What happens to my account if I stop using it?
Nothing, your data just sits there waiting. You can export a full backup as JSON anytime, and delete everything permanently from the settings menu if you ever want to.
