Basic is $0 forever
Free trading journal for forex and prop firm traders
You took the trade. What was the plan, what did you do, and what can you learn from it? Keep those answers beside the result, so your next review is based on a clear record.
Basic stays free. The 14-day Elite trial is a different plan.
What did I actually do?
Wait for the London breakout candle to close.
XAUUSD · planned risk $50 · result +$85
I waited for the close. Keep that rule next time.
Start small
Record one trade clearly. Then look for what repeats.
You do not need a long diary after every trade. A few consistent fields can help you compare your next XAUUSD setup with the last one.
Write your plan
Name the instrument, session, setup and condition you are waiting for. Record the planned risk in dollars before the result changes your memory.
Record what happened
Add the actual entry and exit, USD profit or loss, a feeling tag and a chart screenshot if it adds useful context.
Review one pattern
Compare several entries. Ask whether you followed the same rule each time, even when a trade ended in profit.
A clear example
The number tells you what happened. The note tells you why you need to review it.
Imagine you planned an XAUUSD breakout in the London session. You waited for the candle to close, entered at 4150 with a stop at 4148, and made $85. You record the result, but also whether you followed the plan. A winning early entry would need a different lesson.
This is a fictional record for learning. It is not a trade idea or a promise that the same setup will work again.

Questions before you start
Is the trading journal really free?
Yes. PropLogAI Basic is $0 and includes unlimited trade logging, journal entries with emotions, a P&L calendar, and one screenshot per trade. Elite is a separate paid plan with a 14-day trial. Check the pricing page for the current plan details.
What should I record after a trade?
Start with the instrument, session, setup, your plan, what you actually did, the result in USD, and one short lesson. Add a screenshot when it helps you understand the decision later.
Can I use it for a prop firm challenge?
You can record your trades and review whether you followed your own plan and the account rules you checked. PropLogAI does not replace your firm’s dashboard or confirm an official breach or pass.
Will PropLogAI import trades or tell me what to trade?
You enter your trade details yourself. The journal is for recording and reviewing your decisions; it does not provide trade signals or place orders.

Start with one clear trade record.
You can add more fields later. First, keep the plan, what happened and one useful note in the same place.
