One of the biggest barriers to maintaining a trading journal is the tedious manual data entry. That's why we've built the most comprehensive import/export system in the industry. Whether you're switching from another platform, importing years of history, or preparing tax documents, we make it seamless.

The Data Entry Problem

Manual trade logging creates multiple issues:

• Time consuming - 10-15 minutes per trade adds up quickly
• Error prone - Typos in prices, sizes, or dates
• Incomplete records - Missing trades due to forgetfulness
• Delayed insights - Can't analyze until data is entered
• Tax nightmares - Scrambling to compile records
