Free Trading Journal FAQ
Is Plancana really a free trading journal?
Yes. Manual trade journaling, weekly performance analytics and the Trading Plan Generator are free forever, with no time limit and no credit card. It is a permanent free plan, not a free trial.
What is the best free trading journal?
It depends on how you trade. Tradervue and TradesViz have free tiers built around importing trades on desktop, with monthly limits (30 trades on Tradervue; stocks only on TradesViz). Plancana is the best free option if you want a mobile trading journal app you can use after every trade, with weekly analytics and an AI trading plan included at no cost.
Is there a free trading journal app for iPhone and Android?
Yes. Plancana is a free trading journal app for both iOS and Android. Download it, create an account and start logging trades straight away.
Can I use the free trading journal for forex, crypto, stocks and day trading?
Yes. You log trades manually on the free plan, so it works for any market: forex, crypto, stocks, indices, commodities, day trading and swing trading.
What do I get if I upgrade?
Paid plans start at $2.99/week. Basic adds monthly and yearly performance metrics, risk analysis and ongoing Trading Mentor access. Pro adds broker auto-sync (MT4/MT5, ByBit, TradeLocker and cTrader) and real-time trade tracking.
Can I import trades from a CSV file?
No. Plancana does not import CSV files. On the free plan you log trades manually; on Pro, trades sync automatically from supported brokers.
Is a free trading journal better than an Excel spreadsheet?
A spreadsheet is free too, but you have to build the formulas and charts yourself and it is awkward on a phone. A free trading journal app gives you the logging form, weekly analytics and an AI trading plan out of the box.
