A thinkorswim trading journal that makes every trade count toward your edge.

Log trades manually or import a CSV export from your broker — both work at $0 on the Free tier, which covers two accounts with manual entry, CSV import, tags, calendars, core analytics and weekly report export. Once in, trades get the same analytics and weekly reports as every other account. If you also execute through MT4, MT5 or cTrader, Pro at $25 per month adds auto-sync, AI insights and unlimited accounts. In our 2026 audit we checked 356 brokers and prop firms one by one against their own sites, and the brokers table on our home page shows the evidence for each one.

thinkorswim is a charting and execution platform — it does not include a structured journal with win rate, profit factor and weekly performance reports, so most ToS traders end up keeping a spreadsheet. DuskAnalyst gives you that structure out of the box: entries, exits, the study or scan you traded, tags and notes, rolled up into analytics, calendars and weekly report export. Free covers two accounts with manual entry and CSV import; Pro at $25 per month adds unlimited accounts, auto-sync for MT4, MT5 and cTrader, AI insights and full export.

Not from thinkorswim itself: there is no terminal connector for ToS, so those trades come in via CSV export from your broker or manual entry. Auto-sync on Pro covers MT4, MT5 and cTrader terminals, where a free EA or cBot pushes every closed trade over HTTPS. The EA or cBot is read-only: it never places orders, changes charts, or touches your indicators. The journal never sees your broker password or login credentials; only your closed trades and the account nickname leave the terminal. Data is stored on Cloudflare, identity is handled by Auth0, billing by Stripe, and the AI that answers your insight questions runs on DeepSeek.

Track every entry and exit, size, realized P&L, the strategy or study behind the trade, and one honest note about whether you followed your plan. That structure is what makes review possible: with it you can see which setups produce your edge and where execution slips cost you. DuskAnalyst stores all of it per trade and rolls it up into performance analytics, calendars and weekly report 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. No credit card is required for Free, there are no setup fees, and you can cancel in one click.

A journal that computes win rate, profit factor and strategy breakdowns beats a diary when you are hunting for an edge, and that is what a paid tool adds over a spreadsheet. In 2026 the price of a good trading journal is roughly $25 to $99 per month, and DuskAnalyst sits at the low end at $25 with a free tier underneath — two accounts with manual entry, CSV import, tags, calendars, core analytics and weekly report export at $0.
