Where trades come from

Every broker or manual account, in one place.

Sync trades from your broker automatically, add them by hand or import them in bulk. Link each account to a Strategy, and its trades are assigned to that Strategy on their own. From there, research your live trades together with your backtests.

  • Each account feeds its Strategy automatically

Trading plan and checklists

A routine you can check, not just remember.

Write the plan before the open, tick the A+ setup checklist before you enter, and close the day with a review. Your journal notes hold the plan and rules that go beyond a single day.

  • Day notes for each trading day
  • Journal notes for plans and rules that outlast a day
  • Checklists for your pre-market routine, A+ setups and post-session review
