Capture the decision before the result
Log the symbol, side, setup, timeframe, thesis, planned entry, stop, target, and quantity. Keep the reasoning visible before P&L becomes the only story.
Private trading workspace
A trade journal that connects the plan to the outcome

The useful part
Trade Journal
A journal is most useful when it preserves the decision and the evidence around it, not only the final number.
Bring in the execution record
Normalize fills from supported broker exports in your browser, then keep the imported executions private to your account. Duplicate exports are rejected safely.
Review behavior, not only P&L
Record win, loss, breakeven, or missed outcomes alongside realized P&L, rule adherence, satisfaction, emotion, and the lesson to carry forward.
Import support
Bring your broker history into one journal
Choose the matching export format in the dashboard. Fills are normalized in your browser before they are stored as private executions.

A calmer workflow
From a market idea to a reviewable record.
FearAlert keeps research, decisions, and outcomes close enough to learn from without pretending the process is certain.
Make the plan explicit
Create an idea with the setup, thesis, timeframe, entry, stop, target, and size. Link the alert, watchlist item, or strategy run that informed it.
Import or update the trade
Import one broker export at a time or update actual entry and exit details manually. The journal keeps an execution ledger separate from the idea.
Close the loop
Mark the outcome, realized P&L, whether you followed the plan, your state, and the lesson. Filter by status or search your setups later.
Questions, answered
Know what the tool does before you use it.
Which brokers can I import into the Trade Journal?
FearAlert supports TradeNote template / TradeZero, Interactive Brokers, thinkorswim / TD Ameritrade, TradeStation, Tradovate, MetaTrader 5, HeldenTrader Pro, Rithmic, FundTraders, NinjaTrader, and TopstepX.
Are broker credentials required?
No. FearAlert imports an export file in your browser. It does not require broker credentials or place orders. Imported executions are stored as private account data.
Can I connect a trade to my research?
Yes. A trade idea can link to an alert rule, watchlist item, or strategy run. Those links remain attached as context even if the source is later changed or removed.
Use the process, not the noise
Make the next trade easier to review.
