The trading journal for TradingView traders who already have the charts.

TradingView includes backtesting tools such as the Strategy Tester, and how much of them you can use depends on your plan — free accounts are the most limited. Either way, a backtest measures the strategy on historical data, not how you actually execute it live. That gap is what a journal closes: log your real entries and exits, review them weekly, and compare what you planned with what you did. DuskAnalyst's Free tier covers two accounts with manual entry, CSV import, tags, calendars, core analytics and weekly report export at $0. Pro at $25 per month adds unlimited accounts, auto-sync, AI insights and full export.

TradingView's replay tools let you step through a chart bar by bar, and access depends on your plan. Replay is a practice tool: it shows you what you would have done with hindsight, but it cannot show you what you actually did — your fills, your hesitation, your size. For that you need a journal. DuskAnalyst records every trade with entry, exit, size and notes, and our 2026 audit checked 356 brokers and prop firms one by one against their own sites, with the evidence shown in the brokers table on our home page.

TradingView does not push closed trades to third-party journals, so on Free you log trades manually or import a CSV from your broker or platform. If you execute through MT4, MT5 or cTrader terminals, Pro auto-sync pushes every closed trade over HTTPS with a per-account API key — a free EA or cBot does the pushing, and it 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.

TradingView is a charting and analysis platform built around Pine Script — it does not include a structured journal with win rate, profit factor and weekly performance reports. DuskAnalyst adds that layer: log or import your trades, tag the setup, and get analytics, calendars and weekly report export. Free covers two accounts with manual entry and CSV import at $0; Pro at $25 per month adds unlimited accounts, auto-sync, AI insights and full export.

Record the instrument, the timeframe, the setup you marked on the chart, entry, exit, size, P&L and one honest note about execution. Over time that reveals which chart patterns actually pay and where you deviate from your plan. DuskAnalyst structures all of it for you. 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.
