WE KEEPtherecords.
We founded Trade Stack because we kept, then abandoned, several trading journals over two years. It wasn't us, it was the tools.
FIVE core beliefs.
Friction kills the journal.
Not bad intentions. Not laziness. The invisible cost you pay with every entry. We design against it.
Seven seconds, or we cut it.
That's our approximation of zero. If a feature doesn't fit that timeframe, the design is wrong, not the user.
An option that doesn't influence a decision is noise.
We prefer cutting to adding. Every field must influence the next trade. Otherwise it's out.
The journal is a tool, not an exam.
We help you see your patterns, not punish you for not filling in the right boxes. Discipline doesn't need friction.
Your data is yours.
CSV and JSON export at any time, full deletion with a support request. We only aggregate anonymous stats.
TWO YEARS to get here.
A Moleskine notebook, a makeshift Notion.
William, Samuel and Elie trade. They keep a shared journal. They abandon it several times, not from lack of will, but because of the tools.
The seven-second rule is born.
A prototype built around one single constraint: log a trade in seven seconds. If it takes longer, the design failed.
Trade Stack becomes a real company.
Launch of the professional trading journal. First paying traders. Zero required fields from day one.
The community grows.
Bias journal, pre-trade checklist, pre-session assistant. Traders stay and come back the next day.
THREE trader co-founders.
"We built the trading journal we would have wanted to find in 2022."
"Performance isn't a mystery. It's a direct consequence of method."
"A good system is one you're still using six months from now."
WHAT WE ARE, in four numbers.
HOW we work.
Cut rather than add.
The minimum viable isn't a draft. It's the endpoint.
Measure before claiming.
Every claim is timed, dated, sourced. Including ours.
Write for traders.
Not for marketers. Not for analysts. For people who take risk every day.
Don't replace TradingView.
Our place is elsewhere, between the trading screen and the next decision.
We build
with you.
Trade Stack grows through feedback from real traders. If you have an idea, a bug, or just want to tell us how you trade, we want to hear from you.
