Frequently asked
Is TradeStack a free Journalytix alternative?
Yes for journaling and post-session analytics. TradeStack gives you the calendar, stats, tags and prop firm buffers free. It does not send live alerts while you trade.
What does Journalytix cost?
Around $49 per month standalone, though some prop firms include it with an account. TradeStack is free forever.
Which is better for a prop firm evaluation?
Both track drawdown. TradeStack is free and shows how close you are to the daily loss limit and trailing drawdown after each session; Journalytix adds live intraday alerting if that is worth the subscription to you.
