A crypto trading journal, free.

What you get

• Structured entry, stop, target, size, direction, setup and outcome fields instead of an unsearchable notes box
• Automatic transfer of entry, stop and target from a position drawing on the chart
• Performance summaries segmented by setup and other tags, so a headline win rate is not the only result
• Filters for reviewing a specific market, setup, direction, result or period without duplicating records
• CSV export for analysis in a spreadsheet and JSON export for a complete portable backup
• JSON import for restoring the journal without locking the record inside the product
• Optional account synchronization while keeping the account-free local workflow available

Why this is usually paid for

Trading journals become subscription products because retention is built into the data. Once months of screenshots, notes and statistics live inside one service, leaving it feels expensive even when the underlying features are simple. Export and segmentation are therefore often reserved for a paid plan or treated as a reason not to switch.

Basis makes the record portable from the beginning. The journal can live in the browser, export to common formats and synchronize only when the user chooses an account. The business logic is that a useful terminal should help measure decisions, not create a second dependency around the record of those decisions.

A journal still cannot turn vague memories into evidence. Its value comes from recording the plan before the outcome, using stable setup labels and keeping losing trades. A perfect-looking journal assembled after the fact measures curation skill rather than trading skill.

How to use it

1. 1

   Define a small setup vocabulary

   Start with a few setup names that describe genuinely different decision rules. If every trade receives a new label, no segment will ever contain enough examples to reveal whether the rule works.

2. 2

   Capture the plan from the chart

   Draw a long or short position with entry, stop and target, then send those levels to the journal. Carrying the original levels into the record prevents the risk plan from being rewritten after price moves.

3. 3

   Record process separately from outcome

   Mark whether the setup and execution followed the plan even when the trade lost. A valid loss and an impulsive win teach opposite lessons, and combining them under profit alone rewards the wrong behaviour.

4. 4

   Review segments after enough examples

   Compare expectancy, average win, average loss and consistency by setup after a meaningful sample has accumulated. Export the filtered rows when a deeper spreadsheet review is needed, and keep a JSON backup periodically.
