Journal and import

Five years of trades in, before the coffee goes cold

Log a trade in a few keystrokes, or drop in a CSV. Exports from NinjaTrader, Tradovate and TopstepX are recognised on sight.

  • Broker CSVs detected automatically, generic files get a mapping step
  • Point it at an export folder and it imports on its own
  • Every batch keeps its warnings, its history and a one-click rollback
  • Re-importing skips duplicates. Imported trades count as Verified

Why I built TradeHelp

I built TradeHelp because I did not want to keep paying a subscription.

When I started trading five years ago I made a lot of mistakes, and it never occurred to me to look at myself as the problem. I would switch up the strategy, or blame the market, when what I actually lacked was discipline. It took some experience before I understood that the market was not the issue. I was.

I did not have much money starting out, so the bigger cloud journals like TradeZella and TraderSync were out of reach. I would go months at breakeven, and I could not justify paying hundreds a year for software to tell me that.

So the goal here is simple: give smaller traders real insight into their own habits without charging them every month for it.

On the engineering side, I was a software engineer at Amazon, where I worked on several projects and shipped features to production. TradeHelp is not perfect and it is still a work in progress, but if any of the above sounds familiar, give it a shot.

$25 once, or $360 every year

Cloud journals are good software. They are also a subscription, an account, and your full trade history sitting on somebody else's server.
