Free trading journal with CSV import
If you want fills imported instead of typed in by hand, the number that decides your year is time from broker export to a finished review. TradeStack calculates it from imported trades for free, alongside win rate, profit factor, expectancy and a daily P&L calendar.
What to log on every trade
Start with the basics — date, symbol, side, size, entry, exit, fees and result. Then add the fields that are specific to this style: broker, account, fees and the original order IDs. Those extra columns are what let you filter later and answer a real question instead of staring at a total.
The metric that matters most
For this style it is time from broker export to a finished review. Everything else is context. Review it weekly over a rolling sample rather than daily, because a single session is noise no matter how strongly it felt otherwise.
The mistake this group makes
The recurring failure is abandoning the journal after two weeks of manual entry. Tag those trades separately for one month and compare their expectancy with the rest of your sample. In almost every journal, that subset is the difference between a flat year and a good one.
Importing from Tradovate, NinjaTrader, MetaTrader, IBKR, Webull and 15 more
Export your trade history and drop the file into the importer. TradeStack fingerprints the header row, so files from Tradovate, NinjaTrader, MetaTrader, IBKR, Webull and 15 more are recognised without mapping columns by hand. Imported trades stay fully editable, so you can add notes, screenshots and playbook tags afterwards.
Frequently asked
What should a free trading journal with csv import track?
Beyond date, symbol, size, entry, exit and P&L, log broker, account, fees and the original order IDs. Those fields are what turn a list of trades into an answer about time from broker export to a finished review.
Is it free?
Yes. Unlimited trades, unlimited imports, full analytics, no card required.
What is the most common mistake here?
Abandoning the journal after two weeks of manual entry. It shows up in the journal long before it shows up in the account balance.
Can I import instead of typing every trade?
Yes. Export from Tradovate, NinjaTrader, MetaTrader, IBKR, Webull and 15 more and drop the file in — the column layout is detected automatically.
