Journalisa in action
Don’t just measure your trades — measure your discipline.
See whether you follow your plan or let emotions take over.
Most traders do not fail because of their strategy — they fail because they do not execute it consistently. Journalisa makes it visible whether you truly follow your own rules.

Journaling only works if you actually do it.
Excel is tedious and time-consuming — which is exactly why people eventually stop using it. With Journalisa, you import your trades at the push of a button and reduce manual data maintenance to a minimum.
❌ Excel & traditional journals
- Multi-leg strategies are represented incorrectly or not at all
- Hours of manual maintenance
- Gaps because you forget or give up
- No support before the trade
- Cloud-based — privacy concern
✅ The Journalisa way
- Correct representation of complex options strategies
- Fully automated import — no gaps
- Workflow: routine → plan → trade → review
- Active support before and during trading
- Local data storage — privacy first
No gaps in your trade history
Journalisa imports your executions directly from Trader Workstation (TWS), via the FlexQuery API, or from local XML files. All trades are captured automatically — no manual entry required.
Before import, an execution plan shows how executions will be grouped into trades — so you stay in control at all times.
- Direct connection to TWS / IB Gateway
- Online import via FlexQuery API
- Local XML file import
- Reviewable import execution plan
Built for complex options strategies
Journalisa automatically detects options strategies based on executions. Multiple legs are intelligently merged into a single trade — for example Iron Condors, vertical spreads, or any other multi-leg strategy.
What other journals cannot represent is standard in Journalisa.
- Automatic strategy detection
- Multi-leg order consolidation
- Manual adjustments at any time
- Support for paper accounts
Structure throughout your trading day
Journalisa supports you from start to finish: begin with a structured morning routine, capture your planned setups in the daily plan, and later review whether you traded according to plan.
Your personal process — fully documented and ready for analysis.
- Guided morning routine with custom links & notes
- Daily plan for trade ideas and setups
- Structured post-trade review
- Discipline checklists in your analytics
Comprehensive analysis for data-driven trading
Journalisa automatically calculates all key metrics: PnL, win rate, profit factor, drawdown, and more. Analyze your performance by strategy, holding time, IV Rank, DTE, and many other dimensions.
All data can be exported to Excel at any time.
- Monthly and yearly performance reports
- Strategy and holding-time analysis
- IV Rank vs. PnL and DTE analysis
- Excel export for all data

Journalisa stores all information locally on your computer. No cloud, no dependency on external services — full control over your sensitive trading data.
Create complete backups, restore them, or export individual accounts — for example to share with your mentor or tax advisor.
- Local data storage (no cloud)
