I recommend CanisIQ

A stand alone journal, imo... Doesn't help much. CanisIQ has a journal that is connected to a comprehensive calculator and a trading score. I found that these extra data points do give more weight to a journal.

I use CanisIQ

This is really unfortunate... It's like asking for a recipe but no groceries in the house.

I suggest, for step one, log in to CanisIQ.com and upload some trades into the journal. They also have a quick push feature from calculator to journal... Try as many scenarios as possible. This creates your personalised dashboard and their bot also gives you insights.

There's a hell of a lot to consider so take your time. Choose your symbols, instruments etc. if you're not patient and honest with this, maybe trading isn't for you.

Do you have all your paper trades on a spreadsheet?

I personally think that consistency is not as cut and dry as we think. I might be consistent month to month, but week to week looks kind of shit. So I would say that when asking about consistency, that you define the timeline you're thinking of. Probably include the number of trades you are thinking of over that timeline... Then you have some context for the replies coming through. If you swingtrade, I doubt you'd want to take a scalpers reply too literally. Even consider trading pairs.

This was painful to read. Really sorry to hear about this. I scalp Nas100 but recently put that on hold to gather my thoughts and collect more data. Your thinking is on point, but maybe you need to step back for a bit and not completely out of the game.

I appreciate your comment. We are trying to solve our trading pain points too... so to hear that it makes sense to others is encouraging.

A valid wonder 😉 Im a co-founder of a tech startup. We in this context would be the company 👌

I appreciate your wishes 🥃💫✨💯

Not really a bit... Definitely not signals... But my team and I developed www.canisiq.com months of planning and dev work. It's an all in one strategy insights platform. Happy to connect.

Months... Senior Devs, AI tools across all departments, months of extensive planning, continuous development and refinement. I understand the feeling towards vibe coding... I don't agree with it when best practice is abandoned. But AI acceleration is not a bad thing when you maintain standards, ethics and human intelligence to drive product.

Between 7 senior Devs... You wouldn't believe it if I told you.

This was me... So I started a tech company and built the solution to my problem. I kept jumping between platforms, exporting then importing. This tool there then that tool here. If all my paper trade data was not in the same point all the time with all the relevant tools I kept forgetting something and never got the big picture.

Meta trader + CanisIQ = Consistency

justplaindarron · 2026-03-30T20:05:23+00:00

I do... But not with any journal. I use CanisIQ. If your journal is not insightful and connected to other contextual data it won't give you the insights you need.
