Is TradeScrapbook truly a 100% free trading journal?

Yes. TradeScrapbook is completely free forever. There are no credit cards required, no monthly paywalls, and no hidden subscriptions. All features including P&L calendars, win rate analytics, AI coach insights, and statement exports are $0.

How does TradeScrapbook protect my trading data privacy?

TradeScrapbook operates on a zero-knowledge, client-side architecture. When you import your MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, or Excel statement, the file is parsed directly inside your browser memory. Your trading data is never uploaded or saved to any cloud server.

Why is TradeScrapbook better than Excel or Google Sheets for journaling?

Spreadsheets require manual data entry for every trade, complex formulas that break easily, and lack automated metrics like Sharpe Ratio, Profit Factor, and tilt detection. TradeScrapbook automatically imports your entire trading history in 1 second, providing instant visual dashboards and heatmaps.

Can I use TradeScrapbook for forex, crypto, and futures?

Yes! TradeScrapbook supports all instruments traded on MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, and standard broker statements, including Forex major/minor pairs, Crypto, Gold, Silver, Oil, Indices (US30, NAS100), and Futures.

Why Every Serious Trader Needs a Free Trading Journal

In professional trading, consistent profitability is rarely about finding a secret indicator; it is about knowing your numbers. Professional hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, and disciplined retail traders track every single trade to identify psychological tilt, measure expectancy, and double down on their highest-probability setups.

Until now, traders were forced to choose between cumbersome Excel spreadsheets that break easily or expensive SaaS journals charging upwards of $40 every month. TradeScrapbook solves this problem by delivering enterprise-grade performance analytics, interactive equity curves, and AI-driven trade psychology tools—completely free and 100% private.
