◆ Binance trading journal

A Binance trading journal for futures traders

Binance shows realized PnL, but not why a trade worked or failed. Alpha Charts reads Binance Futures CSV exports — including realized PnL and executed quantity — and adds the context you need: stops in R, setups, mistakes, emotions and analytics that show where your edge is.
