Free plan
A free trading journal, with the limits stated up front
Journal 50 trades on one account without a credit card. Here is exactly what that includes — and, just as importantly, what it does not.
What the free plan actually includes
- 50 logged trades
- 1 trading account
- 2 strategies
- 1 report per month
- Server-computed gross and net P&L and planned reward-to-risk — the same engine every plan uses
- Tags, notes and screenshots on every trade
- Row-level security on your data, exactly as on a paid plan
- No credit card, no expiry, no trial countdown
What it does not include
Stated as plainly as the list above, because a free plan whose limits only surface after signup is a bait.
- Broker statement import — starts on Trader ($19/month)
- AI coach reviews — the free allowance is zero
- Advanced analytics, trade replay, report export and report sharing
- Versioned playbooks with adherence measurement
Why the free plan is manual
It is a deliberate line, not an oversight. Logging 50 trades by hand is enough to answer the only question that matters early on: will I actually keep a journal? Most people find that out in a fortnight, and it costs nothing to find out here.
Importing years of history is a different job, and it is the one that carries real cost on our side — parsing, validating and de-duplicating statements. That is what the paid plans pay for.
Free tools, with no account at all
The position-size, gold lot-size and risk/reward calculators are fully usable without signing up, without an email, and with the formula printed on the page. If you only need a number today, take it — no account required.
Frequently asked questions
- Is a credit card required?
- No. The Free plan needs no card and does not expire. There is no trial countdown on it, because it is not a trial.
- How many trades can I log?
- 50 trades, on 1 trading account, with up to 2 strategies and 1 report per month.
- Can I import my broker history on the free plan?
- No. Statement import starts on the Trader plan. On Free you log trades manually, which is also the fastest way to find out whether the routine suits you before paying for anything.
- Does the free plan include the AI coach?
- No. The free plan includes 0 AI reviews per month — zero. The coach starts on a higher plan.
- What happens when I reach the trade limit?
- Your data stays yours and stays visible. You choose whether to upgrade; nothing is deleted and nothing is held hostage.
- Do paid plans renew automatically?
- No. Paid access is bought 30 or 365 days at a time and never renews on its own.
