Our Story

Helping Traders
Become Profitable

TradeJournal exists for one reason: to help South African traders improve their results through better analysis and self-reflection.

Trading Analytics

Built for Success

Data-driven trading decisions

Our Mission

Most traders fail not because they lack intelligence or dedication, but because they don't learn from their mistakes. They repeat the same errors, let emotions drive decisions, and never truly understand what's working and what's not.

TradeJournal changes that. We provide the tools to log every trade, analyze performance objectively, and identify patterns in your behavior. When you can see your trading clearly, you can fix what's broken and double down on what works.

We're building the platform we wish existed when we started trading.

A place where South African traders can track their progress, learn from their history, and become consistently profitable. No gimmicks, no false promises—just powerful analytics and honest feedback about your trading performance.
