What is an automated trading journal?

A trading journal is a record of every trade you take — what you traded, when, how big, and how it turned out — so you can look back and see what is working. Most traders start one in a spreadsheet and stop updating it within weeks, because typing in every trade by hand is slow and easy to get wrong.

An automated trading journal does the logging for you. PerformanceLens reads each trade straight from your trading account and keeps your journal up to date on its own, then turns your history into the statistics and charts a spreadsheet can’t: drawdown and monthly results and, on the Analyst and Quant plans, daily and hourly breakdowns and every account combined.

It is software for reviewing your own trading. It doesn’t tell you what to trade.

How it works

  1. Connect your account

    Add the PerformanceLens connector to your trading terminal and enter your sync key. It takes a couple of minutes, and your past trade history comes across too.

  2. Trades sync automatically

    From then on, every new trade and open position syncs to your dashboard on its own — no imports, no CSV files, no copy-paste. Your data is encrypted before it leaves your computer.

  3. Review your stats

    Open the dashboard or the mobile app to see your metrics, equity curve and drawdown for each account — or all of them combined, on the Analyst and Quant plans.

Everything you’d want from a trading journal

Balance & equity curve

See each account grow over time, with balance and equity drawn together.

Max drawdown

Your largest peak-to-trough fall in money and percent, and how far you are from your high right now.

Daily P/L calendar

Every day’s result on a calendar, in money or percent. On the Analyst and Quant plans.

Monthly performance

Monthly returns, drawdowns and trade counts side by side.

Hourly performance

Results hour by hour, to see which times of day suit you. On the Analyst and Quant plans.

Symbol breakdown

Results by instrument, so you know which markets carry your account. On the Analyst and Quant plans.

Backtest vs live

Import your StrategyQuant X backtests and compare them with your live trades, to spot when a strategy starts to drift. On the Quant plan.

Portfolio sharing

Share a verified track record through an encrypted public link. On the Analyst and Quant plans.

End-to-end encryption

Your trade data is encrypted with AES-256 before it leaves your computer and only your browser can decrypt it — not even we can read it.

Trading journal FAQ

What is an automated trading journal?

An automated trading journal records every trade you take without manual entry. It reads each trade from your trading account, with its entry, exit, size and result, and turns your history into statistics and charts you can review.

Do I have to log trades manually?

No. Once your account is connected, every closed trade and open position syncs on its own, every 5 minutes or every minute on the Analyst and Quant plans. You never type in a trade.

Is my trading data private?

Yes. Your trade data is encrypted with AES-256 before it leaves your computer and stays encrypted in transit and at rest. Only your browser can decrypt it, so not even PerformanceLens can read it.

Can I track several accounts?

Yes. Trader covers 3 accounts for $19/month, Analyst 10 accounts for $39/month and Quant 15 accounts for $69/month, with extra accounts at $4 per account, per month. You can view each account on its own, or combined on the Analyst and Quant plans.

Does PerformanceLens tell me what to trade?

No. PerformanceLens is software for reviewing your own trading. We don't provide trade recommendations or investment advice.

Is there a mobile app?

Yes. The iOS and Android apps are included with every plan, so you can check your journal, statistics and open positions from your phone.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial. A card is required to start it, you won't be charged during the trial, and you can cancel any time before it ends.
