Dusk Analyst vs Tradervue — built for the terminals you trade.

Tradervue is a veteran journal. Its homepage says it is for stocks, options, futures and forex, advertises '80+ trading platform integrations,' and reports 207,623 traders signed up. Its own users describe a free version that is 'really smooth' and 'allows live charts.' For US equities and options traders it is an established, respected tool.

The integrations we could verify on Tradervue's homepage are US direct-access platforms — TradeStation, Ameritrade, Interactive, Lightspeed, DAS, Sterling and E-Trade. Dusk Analyst is built around the terminals retail forex and prop traders actually run: MT4, MT5 and cTrader, auto-synced on Pro the moment a trade closes. Data is stored on Cloudflare, identity is handled by Auth0, billing by Stripe, and the AI that answers your insight questions runs on DeepSeek.

Yes, and it is genuinely free: $0, no card required, two accounts with manual entry, CSV import, tags, calendars, core analytics and weekly report export. Tradervue's own testimonials describe a free version too. The difference is what sits underneath — Dusk Analyst Pro is a flat $25 per month with unlimited accounts, auto-sync, AI insights and full export.

Yes. CSV import and manual entry are part of the Free tier, so you can backfill history from another journal before upgrading. Trades you log or import get the same analytics, calendars and weekly report export as synced accounts. Free covers two accounts at $0; Pro at $25 per month adds unlimited accounts, auto-sync, AI insights and full export.

Dusk Analyst Pro syncs demo, live and funded accounts side by side over MT4, MT5 or cTrader. We verified 356 brokers and prop firms one by one in our 2026 audit, and the broker table on our home page shows the evidence for each. Free covers two accounts at $0; Pro at $25 per month adds unlimited accounts, auto-sync, AI insights and full export. Data is stored on Cloudflare, identity is handled by Auth0, billing by Stripe, and the AI that answers your insight questions runs on DeepSeek.

Dusk Analyst is a flat $25/month for Pro with unlimited accounts, auto-sync, AI insights and weekly reports - plus a genuinely usable free tier (two accounts, no card), and Pro has a free trial of up to 30 days (card required). Tradervue's pricing varies by plan and feature set; the comparison section on this page lists the current tiers so you can check the numbers yourself. The short version: one flat price vs tiered plans, and a free tier that isn't a trial.

The core difference is how trades get in. Dusk Analyst auto-syncs MT4, MT5 and cTrader with read-only connectors - no CSV exports, no manual re-entry on Pro - while Tradervue relies on the import path you choose. Dusk Analyst also adds AI insights on your own trading patterns and keeps pricing flat. Both are cloud journals with good review tooling; the side-by-side section above covers pricing, features and sync paths.

Yes - Dusk Analyst's free tier doesn't lock you in. Start journaling with two accounts at $0; if Tradervue suits you better, export your history and move on. If you want to compare side by side first, CSV import on the free tier lets you mirror recent trades into both and see which workflow you actually stick with.

Yes. The free tier costs $0 forever and includes two accounts, manual trade entry and CSV import - enough to journal a live account properly, with win rate, expectancy, drawdown and equity curve all calculated for you. There is no credit card required to start. Pro ($25/month flat) adds unlimited accounts, MT4/MT5/cTrader auto-sync, AI insights on your trading (1,000 trade-analyses a month), monthly reports and full export, and has a free trial of up to 30 days (card required). The pricing is deliberately simple: one plan, one price, no per-feature upsells.

Yes. Dusk Analyst Pro has a free trial of up to 30 days: 30 days if you start it within an hour of signing up, 15 days within 24 hours. A card is required to start it, nothing is charged on the day it starts, and when the trial ends Pro is $25/month unless you cancel. We email you a reminder before the trial ends. You can cancel anytime from Billing in the app; cancelling during the trial ends it straight away, nothing is charged, and your account goes back to the Free plan with every trade kept. There is one trial per account. The trial includes everything in Pro: MT4, MT5 and cTrader auto-sync, monthly reports, unlimited account books, 1,000 AI credits a month for AI Insights and CSV export. Start it in the app at app.duskanalyst.com, where it is offered whenever you open a Pro feature such as Connectors, and from the plan card in the sidebar. The Free plan is separate: it needs no card and stays free forever.

Pro includes 1,000 AI trade-analyses every month. One credit covers one trade, so asking a question about a 40-trade week costs 40 credits and you can keep asking. The allowance resets on the 1st of each month and the counter sits in the top bar of the app, so you always know where you stand. Narrowing a question to one account or a shorter date range makes the same allowance go much further. Free accounts get a small number of AI credits to try AI Insights, alongside the full journal, analytics and weekly reports, and Pro's free trial (up to 30 days) includes the full monthly allowance.

Yes - and the evidence is in your own history. Traders who review their closed trades consistently find the same handful of mistakes: entering without a setup, oversized risk, revenge trading after a loss, and ignoring sessions or news that hurt their edge. A journal makes those patterns visible because it records the context around every trade - entry reason, R:R, daily loss, emotional state - not just the P&L. You don't need to journal for years to see a return; most traders notice their biggest leak within the first month of honest review. Dusk Analyst makes the habit cheap: the free tier covers two accounts with manual entry and CSV import, so the barrier is ten minutes of setup, not a subscription.
