Where Plancana Wins: The Human Element
Most traders don't fail because they lack data; they fail because they lack discipline. Plancana fixes the trader, not just the charts.
Mobile-First vs. Desktop-Bound
TradesViz is desktop-bound. Plancana is a native iOS & Android app — journal your emotions the second you close a trade, while the feeling is still fresh.
AI Mentor vs. Static Analytics
TradesViz tells you what happened. Plancana’s AI tells you why — detecting tilt, revenge trades, and emotional patterns before they drain your account.
Psychology First, Not Data First
Emotions kill more accounts than bad strategies. Plancana is built around mood tags, mindset check-ins, and fear/greed levels — not spreadsheets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I import my data from TradesViz to Plancana?
While we don’t have a specific "one-click TradesViz import" button yet, Plancana is designed to be even simpler. Because we auto-sync directly with your broker (MT4, MT5, ByBit, TradeLocker, and more), there is no need to export or import CSV files. Simply connect your trading account, and Plancana will automatically pull your entire trade history for you. This means you can switch from TradesViz and have your entire historical performance synced and analyzed by our AI Mentor in just a few minutes.
Is Plancana better for retail beginners than TradesViz?
Yes, for most retail traders, Plancana offers a much smoother entry point. TradesViz is widely known for its steep learning curve, technical dashboard, and somewhat dated web interface. It can take days to truly master all of its features. Plancana is designed to be intuitive and mobile-first, allowing you to start focusing on the most important part of your trading—your psychology—from day one without needing a degree in data science or statistical analysis.
How does Plancana’s AI Mentor compare to TradesViz’s AI?
TradesViz uses AI primarily for price-chart generation and some automated pattern recognition in the data. Plancana’s AI Mentor is specifically tuned for behavioral coaching. It analyzes the "trader," not just the "trade." It looks for emotional triggers, identifies when you are drifting away from your trading plan, and gives you actionable feedback on how to improve your mental discipline. While TradesViz gives you AI-powered data, Plancana gives you AI-powered mentorship.
Does Plancana support complex options strategies like TradesViz?
Plancana currently tracks the P&L, entry/exit points, and psychology of options trades, but we do not currently offer the deep Greek analytics (Delta, Gamma, Theta, etc.) or complex spread modeling that TradesViz provides. If your primary edge is based on quantitative Greek management, TradesViz is the superior technical tool. However, if your challenge is managing the emotional stress of options trading and avoiding "tilt," Plancana is the better partner.
Is Plancana really free to try?
Yes! You can download Plancana for free on both the App Store and Google Play right now. You can start journaling your trades manually immediately to see if the interface fits your style. We also offer a generous free trial for all of our premium Pro features, including automatic broker sync and full access to the AI Mentor. This allows you to experience the full power of behavioral journaling before making any financial commitment.
Does Plancana have a desktop or web version for deep review?
Plancana is intentionally built as a mobile-first experience because we believe that journaling should happen "in the moment" to capture accurate emotional states. By focusing on the mobile app, we ensure that you can build the habit of journaling every trade while it is fresh. While the mobile app is our flagship product for mindset and discipline, a web-based dashboard for long-term historical review and reporting is currently on our development roadmap to complement the mobile experience.
