Features
Three pillars. Built deep. One foundation.
Protection flags your firm's lines on the planner. Intelligence reads your behavior, not your tags. Trust is built into how we price, refund, and prove every number. The journal foundation underneath gives them their receipts.
01 · Protection
See the line before you cross it.
Most journals plot your equity curve. We model your firm's rules, then plot how close you are to violating each one. The difference between an after-the-fact log and a live cockpit.

Computed live per firm's exact rule (intraday vs end of day, equity vs balance based).
Daily loss limit
Hard line counted from your account's start-of-day equity. Tells you how many more losses at your average sizing you can take.
Consistency rule
Tracks biggest day as percent of profit. Warns at 25%. Flags you ineligible at the firm's exact threshold.
Payout eligibility
Counts minimum trading days, dollar floor, biggest day, eligible window. Tells you the exact day you can request.
Multi account view
Stack your accounts side by side. One glance to see which has rope and which is cooked.
Rule changelog
When a firm changes a rule, you see when and how. We publish every diff with a date and a source link.
You make money on first hour MES trades. You give it back after lunch.
Of 23 closed trades this week, your 9:30 to 10:30 ET trades returned +8.2R on a 61% win rate. After 1:00 ET your edge collapses: -4.1R on a 34% win rate, mostly chasing MNQ reversals you skipped in the morning.
This week: sit out after 1:00 ET. Cutting the afternoon turns last week from +4.1R net to +8.2R.
You sized down after the morning win. Good. Your full size trades after a winner have a negative expectancy.
Across 62 trades in the last 90 days, your post-win full size trades returned -1.8R on a 38% win rate. Half size after a winner gives you +0.6R. Today you used half size at 11:14 on #3492.
Tomorrow: keep half-sizing after a green trade. It's the gap between -1.8R and +0.6R.
02 · Intelligence
AI that reads your behavior, not your tags.
Most "AI trade journal" tools paraphrase your trades back at you. We surface the behavioral patterns that lose you money, and require sample size and citations on every claim. No "AI-powered insights" filler. Specific named patterns with trade IDs you can click into.
- Hard sample size gates. No claims off three trades.
- Trade ID citations on every claim, validator enforced.
- Daily, weekly, monthly cadences.
- Thumbs up or down feedback tunes your coach.
- Your data only. No cross account learning.
03 · Trust
Built by traders who have hit the daily loss limit.
No nags, no dark patterns, no invented numbers. The proof you can check before you pay, and the commitments that stay true after.
7-day full trial
Every Pro feature for 7 days. Cancel before it ends and pay nothing. We email you first.
30-day money back

Reconciled to the cent
Gross minus fees equals net to the penny, or CI fails the build. Your journal matches your broker.
Public rule changelog
Every firm-rule change ships dated, with a source link. You can read every edit to the engine.
Your data, isolated
Row-level security on every table, keyed to your account. We never store your broker password.
No invented metrics
In beta we show our work, not fabricated testimonials or user counts. Numbers are sourced or they do not ship.
The receipts
The fundamentals, polished.
Manual entry in 8 seconds. CSV import from Tradovate and NinjaTrader. Screenshots, playbooks, tags, every analytics view. The data layer your rule engine and AI Coach run on.
