The problem no classic journal solves
Every trader has heard the advice: keep a trade journal. Most have tried. Almost everyone gave up — because sitting down after a trading session to manually log every trade, reflect on emotions, and analyze setups is the last thing anyone wants to do at the end of the day.
For algo traders the situation is even worse. When your EA closes 80 trades a day, manual journaling is simply not viable as a format. That's exactly why the entire trading journal market — Edgewonk, TradesViz, TraderSync — quietly ignores the algo audience. These tools are built for manual trading and assume the user will enter data and context for every trade themselves.
We approached the problem differently.
A journal that requires no manual input
AI Trade Journal analyzes every closed trade automatically. Connect your MT4 or MT5 account and the journal starts maintaining itself — no forms, no manual entry, no need to sit down for a post-session review.
What AI breaks down for every trade
Trade context
The trading session at the time of close (NY / London / Asian / overlap), position duration, day of week, closing hour. The basic deterministic features that most traders never analyze systematically.
Risk sizing
Lot size relative to your baseline for that symbol. You can immediately see whether you sized up against your norm — and under what circumstances it happened.
Behavioral flags
An automatic detector for the patterns that destroy results:
- Revenge trading — a trade placed immediately after a loss with an increased lot size
- Overtrading — an abnormally high number of trades within a session
- Oversized position — lot size significantly above baseline
- Post-win tilt — aggressive sizing increase following a streak of profitable trades
- Prolonged loss streak — detected and recorded in the context of each subsequent trade
AI commentary from Claude
A short 2-3 sentence breakdown tied to the specific numbers of the trade. What went well, what didn't, what to watch going forward. Not generic observations — specifics grounded in the data.
Quality grade
A quick summary label of A / B / C / D based on the combined set of signals.
Multiple journals simultaneously
Each journal is a set of filters: accounts and Expert Advisors. You can maintain a separate journal for gold scalping, a separate one for a specific EA, and another for manual trades — all visible within the same interface.
A dedicated AI analyzes journals in comparison and looks for cross-patterns: the same setups producing different results across accounts — why? A 72% win rate on gold but a negative P&L — where is it leaking?
Your own notes — when you need them
AI analyzes every trade automatically. But if you want to add your own context — what was happening in the news, your state of mind, the setup idea — notes can be added directly on the trade. Multiple notes per trade, fully editable.
Who this is for
Algo traders — the only journal in the category that actually works with hundreds of trades per day. Zero manual input, full coverage of every EA trade.
Manual traders — a journal you won't abandon after two weeks. AI handles the analysis, you only add your own context where it matters.
Traders running multiple accounts — cross-account analysis will show why the same EA delivers different results on different accounts, and exactly where the edge is eroding.
Availability
AI Trade Journal is available on all paid FX Monitor plans starting from Starter. Any MT4 and MT5 accounts are supported, including cent accounts. The interface is available in 10 languages.
