Getting started5

What is Journalcade?+
A trading journal that plays like a game. You earn XP for the process (checking in, journaling, reviewing, keeping your rules), never for size or P&L, and level up with streaks, a monthly season and a trader rating.
Is there a free plan?+
Yes. Every new account starts with 14 days of Pro. After that, Free keeps 30 new trades a month, your last 30 days on screen and one account. See the plans.
Which markets does it work with?+
Futures, stocks, options, forex and crypto. Each account picks what it trades, or a mix, and the maths, fees and reports follow it.
Is there a phone app?+
Journalcade installs to your phone’s home screen from the browser, with reminders before the open and after the close. There’s no app-store app.
How long does a journal entry take?+
Under a minute. The trade drawer shows what’s left to record (setup, stop, grade, plan review, note, screenshot) and the XP each part is worth.

Imports and auto-sync5

Which platforms sync on their own?+
Interactive Brokers, Coinbase and Kraken, on Pro: connect once in Settings, Auto-sync, and trades come in every 6 hours or when you press Sync now. Every platform.
Which exports are read as they are?+
Interactive Brokers, thinkorswim, Webull, MetaTrader 4 and 5, Binance, Coinbase and Kraken. Any other CSV (Tradovate, NinjaTrader, TopstepX, Rithmic and more) is matched column by column.
Will importing the same file twice double my trades?+
No. Trades you’ve already imported are skipped, and one entered by hand is matched, not copied.
Is connecting my broker safe?+
The keys are read-only: they can’t trade or move money. They’re encrypted on the server, never shown again, and deleted when you disconnect.
My numbers use commas for decimals.+
That’s fine. 1.234,56 and 1,234.56, day-first dates and MetaTrader’s 2026.04.23 are read the way the platform writes them.

Plans and billing5

What does Pro cost?+
$29 a month or $261 a year. Started monthly by launch day, Saturday November 14 (11:59 PM Eastern), your first 3 months are 50% off.
Can I get a refund?+
Yes, once. If Pro isn’t for you, email support@journalcade.com within 7 days of your first payment and we’ll refund it in full.
Can I cancel any time?+
Yes, from Settings. You keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for.
Can I pause instead of cancelling?+
Yes. A monthly plan can pause for 1 to 3 months from the cancel screens; nothing is charged and it comes back by itself.
Can I switch to yearly?+
Yes, from Settings, under your plan.

The game4

What earns XP?+
Checking in, journaling, reviewing and keeping your rules. Size and P&L never earn XP.
What is the trader rating?+
Six numbers from 1 to 99 read from your trades and habits, shown on your trader card.
What is the leaderboard?+
An opt-in weekly league under a name you choose. It scores journaling only, never P&L, size, accounts or trades. It’s on Pro.
What are seasons?+
A monthly season with its own challenges, from Bronze up.

Reports, Ace and Intel5

What’s in Reports?+
Seven tabs as plain scoreboards (highlights, progress, when, what you trade, risk and R, mind and discipline, weekly review), plus the What-if lab. Pro.
Does the What-if lab predict results?+
No. It replays the trades you already took under rules you pick. It can’t know what you would have done instead.
Is Ace, the AI coach, on the trial?+
The AI chat comes with a paid Pro plan, 20 answers a day. The 14-day trial has everything else in Pro.
What does Ace see?+
Your stats. Your written notes, screenshots and email are never sent, and chats delete themselves after 14 days.
What is Intel?+
An NQ briefing before the open and an update after it, both graded against the session. It’s educational, never a trade call. Pro.

Privacy and your data3

Is my trading data private?+
Yes. Your trades, notes and screenshots are yours, and Journalcade doesn’t sell data or share it with advertisers.
Can I get my data out, or delete it?+
Export your trades any time. Settings, Delete account removes your account and everything in it, straight away.
Does my voice leave my computer?+
Not with the best voice on a computer (Pro): it runs on your own machine. Phones, other browsers and Free use the browser’s own speech recognition.
