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.
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 and technical dashboard. Plancana is designed to be intuitive and mobile-first, allowing you to start focusing on trading psychology from day one.
How does Plancana's AI Mentor compare to TradesViz's AI?
TradesViz uses AI primarily for price-chart generation and pattern recognition. Plancana's AI Mentor is specifically tuned for behavioral coaching — it analyzes the trader, not just the trade, identifying emotional triggers and discipline breakdowns.
Does Plancana support complex options strategies like TradesViz?
Plancana currently tracks P&L, entry/exit points, and psychology of options trades, but doesn't currently offer the deep Greek analytics or complex spread modeling that TradesViz provides. If managing options Greeks is your primary edge, TradesViz is the stronger technical tool.
Is Plancana really free to try?
Yes! You can download Plancana for free on both the App Store and Google Play. We offer a generous free trial for all premium Pro features, including automatic broker sync and full access to the AI Mentor.
Does Plancana have a desktop or web version for deep review?
Plancana is intentionally mobile-first so you can journal the moment you close a trade, capturing accurate emotional states. A web-based dashboard for long-term historical review is currently on our development roadmap.
