The real problem

I never journaled because it felt like homework.

After a trade I just wanted to reset, not open a spreadsheet and fill in 12 fields. So I skipped it. Every single day.

The result? I kept making the same mistakes. I had no idea what setups were actually working, or whether my emotions were costing me money. I was trading blind.

I built AretéLog because I needed a journal that fit how I actually trade — fast, screenshot-first, no friction. Now logging a trade takes less time than the setup that led to it.

How it works

Three steps. Under 60 seconds.

01

Drop your screenshot

Paste, drag, or take a photo of your chart. AI reads the ticker, direction, and P&L — you don't type any of it.

02

Answer a few chips

Three to five taps: setup type, session, emotional state. No text boxes. Questions adapt to your methodology.

03

Your edge compounds

Every trade builds a pattern. Weekly AI recaps surface what's working, what's costing you, and one thing to fix.

Features

Everything you need to get better.
Nothing you don't.

Screenshot → Journal in 60s

Paste any chart screenshot. AI extracts ticker, direction, entry, exit, and P&L automatically. No manual data entry.

AI Trade Analysis

After every trade, Claude gives you a direct coaching insight — execution quality, the key pattern, and one thing to fix.

Weekly & Monthly Recaps

Every week, an AI recap surfaces your win rate by setup, emotional patterns, and your best and worst sessions.

Equity Curve & Analytics

Clean equity chart in R-multiples, win rate, average win/loss, and performance by setup — all updating live as you journal.

Backtest Logging

A dedicated backtest mode keeps your sim data separate. See how your strategy performs in testing vs live execution.

Methodology-Aware Chips

ICT, SMC, Supply & Demand, VWAP, or price action — AretéLog learns your language and asks the right questions.

Private by Design

Your journal is never sold, never used for advertising, never shared. Just your data, your insight.

What traders say

Less friction. More growth.

I used to journal maybe once a week if I remembered. Now I do it after every single trade. The screenshot flow is a game changer.

Futures trader, 2 yrs

The weekly recap called out that I was overtrading during the London session. I had no idea. Skipped it for a month — numbers are up.

ICT trader, prop firm

Every journaling app I tried felt like a second job. This one just gets out of the way. 60 seconds and I'm done.

Frequently asked

Trading journal questions, answered.

  1. What is the best trading journal in 2026?

    The best trading journal is the one you actually use. Most traders abandon their journal because logging a trade takes too long. AretéLog removes the friction by parsing chart screenshots into structured journal entries in under 60 seconds, with weekly and monthly recap analysis to surface what's working and what isn't.

  2. How is AretéLog different from Tradervue, Edgewonk, or TraderSync?

    Legacy trading journals are spreadsheets with charts on top — you still type every field by hand. AretéLog uses AI to extract symbol, direction, entry, exit, R-multiple, setup, and date from a single screenshot. It also has a dedicated Backtest Log so backtested trades land in the same journal as live ones, with their own recap separate from your live performance.

  3. Is AretéLog free to try?

    Yes — sign up for free and you get 10 trades a month with all features unlocked. Pro is $20/month with a 7-day free trial (30 days if you sign up via a referral link), unlimited trades, AI coaching, backtest journaling, and weekly recap emails.

  4. Does AretéLog work with TradingView, Tradovate, NinjaTrader, and other platforms?

    Any platform — the screenshot parser handles TradingView, ThinkOrSwim, NinjaTrader, Tradovate, Interactive Brokers, Webull, Robinhood, Tastytrade, and any chart you can take a picture of. Notion import is available for migrating an existing journal.

  5. Can I journal futures, forex, crypto, and stocks?

    Yes — all four asset classes are first-class. The journal stores R-multiples (not dollar P&L) so the same workflow works whether you trade NQ futures, EUR/USD, BTC, or AAPL.

  6. How does the AI screenshot parsing work?

    A Claude vision model reads the chart and extracts the structured fields. It works on completed trades (with entry/exit markers and P&L visible) and on setup screenshots (just entry + stop + target levels). The trade date is read from the chart's time axis automatically — you only fill it in when the screenshot doesn't show one.
