For systematic futures traders

The trading journal that actually tells you something true.

Auto-imports your fills, charts them on real Databento bars, and an AI coach grounded in your own trade history surfaces patterns you'd miss. Heuristic fallback when the LLM is offline — the journal never silently fails on you.

Why Tradelyst

Three things existing journals don't get right.

Sub-3-second trade entry

Press N from anywhere, fill a smart-defaulted form, hit ⌘+Enter. Designed for the trader who logs ten trades a day and quits the moment friction creeps in.

📈

Charts on your own data

Lightweight Charts on a local Databento bar store — NQ, ES, MNQ, MES, GC, MGC. Sub-300ms loads, no broker iframe, no third-party feed flake.

🧠

AI grounded in your history

GPT-5 reads your structured facts, not your prose. Every output traces back to a number in your database. Heuristic fallback when the model is down — never a blank screen.

An AI coach that doesn't make things up

Morning brief in your inbox at 07:30. Post-trade review on every closed trade. Both grounded in structured facts the model can't hallucinate around — and both have deterministic heuristic fallbacks so the journal never just gives up.

  • Morning brief: yesterday + week patterns + question to anchor the day
  • Post-trade review: verdict, score, lesson, behavioral flags
  • Privacy mode: strips $ amounts before prompts (default on)
  • Per-tier monthly cap with transparent percentage display

Analytics that find the leak

Dashboard for the day-to-day, analytics page for the deep dive. Heatmap by day-of-week × hour. R-multiple distribution. After-loss vs after-win behavior. Sizing-vs-outcome scatter. The leak detection most journals don't bother with.

  • Equity curve with max drawdown markers
  • Per-setup expectancy with sample-size confidence
  • Tilt detection: trades after losses underperforming?
  • Hourly cron refreshes — sub-500ms warm load

Stop typing your trades in

Drop a CSV from Tradovate, NinjaTrader, TraderEvolution, or any generic export. Auto-detects format, pairs Buy + Sell fills into trades, dedupes on re-imports. Excel and TradingView webhooks too.

  • Tradovate "Orders" export — pairs fills automatically
  • Excel (.xlsx) with sheet picker
  • TradingView webhook with per-user secret
  • Re-importing the same file is safe — zero duplicates
