The counterintuitive truth
The highest-value insight in most trading journals isn't about entries or exits -- it's about timing. Traders who journal consistently discover that their win rate varies by 15-25% depending on time of day, and that their worst losses cluster in specific 90-minute windows they've never noticed because they don't aggregate by time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What journal format do you accept?
Any format works. CSV or Excel spreadsheets, plain text files, even screenshots of handwritten journals. The analyzer extracts trade data, timestamps, and any notes you've written regardless of structure.
How much data do I need before the analysis is useful?
Time-of-day patterns become statistically meaningful at around 50 trades. Emotional and sizing patterns need closer to 100. The analyzer tells you when confidence is low on any given metric so you know what to trust.
Is my journal data private?
Yes. Your journal data is processed for analysis only and is never shared, sold, or used to train models. You can delete your data at any time.
What is a "behavioral risk profile"?
It's a structured summary of your trading behavior patterns -- when you trade best, how you react to losses, how your sizing changes under pressure, and how long it takes you to recover from drawdowns. It updates each time you upload new journal entries.
How is this different from just reading my own journal?
Reading your journal shows you individual trades. The analyzer aggregates across hundreds of entries to surface statistical patterns -- correlations between time of day and win rate, emotional state sequences that precede losses, and sizing drift you can't detect by reading one entry at a time.
