    Keep broker accounts and journal accounts organised without mixing the review context.

  3. 3

The result plus the reason

Keep the trade data and review context together.

Broker data records what happened. FTJ lets you keep that result together with the setup, session, timeframe, screenshots, notes and exit reasoning behind the trade.

  • Edit and complete imported trade records
  • Keep risk/reward and P/L review close to the trade
  • Add screenshots and written reflection
  • Reuse consistent strategies, confluences and exit reasons

Build a repeatable review language

Turn setups and confluences into reusable journal structure.

Define strategies once, attach consistent confluences and use the same language across trades. That makes later filtering and comparison more useful than free-form notes alone.

Review performance

Move from isolated outcomes to repeated patterns.

Use the dashboard, trade history, filters and charts to inspect more than the latest win or loss.

Risk and outcome review

Inspect win rate, risk/reward, drawdown and other measures supported by the available trade data.

Filters and segments

Narrow the journal by the fields that matter to your process and return to individual records when a pattern needs context.

Trading journal vs spreadsheet

Use the simplest system that still supports your review.

A spreadsheet is a sensible starting point. A dedicated journal becomes more useful when screenshots, structured fields, imports and recurring analytics become part of the process.

Compare the workflows
A spreadsheet may be enough when
  • You only need a small number of columns
  • You enjoy maintaining formulas and dashboards
  • Your process does not require attached screenshots
FTJ may fit when
  • You want screenshots and notes connected to trades
  • You need repeatable review fields and imports
  • You prefer built-in review statistics and charts

Common questions

Know what the product is and what it is not.

FTJ is a Windows trading journal for post-trade review. It does not place trades, promise better results or replace your broker platform.

Is Forgalis TradingJournal cloud-based?

FTJ is local-first and centres the journal database on your Windows PC. Downloads, updates, licensing and optional integrations may still require internet access.

Which import workflows are supported?

Current workflows include cTrader, MT4 and MT5 broker history, plus CSV file imports where supported by the available data.

Can I enter trades manually?

Yes. FTJ supports manual trade logging as well as import workflows, so the journal is not limited to one broker or platform.

Is there a free Demo?

Yes. The free Demo lets you test the FTJ workflow with your own journal setup. Full Access is the only paid product level and unlocks the complete available feature set.
