Free Trading Journal for Forex, Gold, Crypto, Futures & Prop Firm

Hi everyone,

A quick update from FX Radar.
Our Trading Journal is now completely free for all traders.

If you've been searching for a free forex trading journal, free prop firm trading journal, or simply a professional way to track and review your trades, you can now use the FX Radar Trading Journal at no cost.

We know that many traders want to journal their trades consistently, but most trading journals are either expensive, overly complicated, or locked behind premium subscriptions.

That is why we've decided to make the core version of our Trading Journal free.

Review Every Trade In Detail

This helps identify recurring mistakes and reinforce the behaviors that actually produce results.

The journal can be used as:
• Forex Trading Journal
• Gold Trading Journal
• Crypto Trading Journal
• Futures Trading Journal

The goal is simple.
This is not a signal service.
This is not copy trading.
This is not another "get rich quick" product.

It is a tool designed to help traders track decisions, measure performance, identify strengths and weaknesses, and improve consistency through data.
For traders who want additional tools, Premium remains available and includes:
• Multiple Trading Journals
• APEX Performance Mentor
• AI Chart Analyzer
• Real-Time Market Intelligence

As always, feedback is welcome.
We appreciate the support from the Forex Factory community and will continue building tools for traders.
Thanks,
FX Radar

I'm glad I stumbled upon your very useful site.

Might try out the free journal one of these days.

Love all the tools you offer, actually, especially the news sentiment heatmap.

Thank you for the feedback.

Comments like this make all the work behind the scenes worth it.

The News Sentiment Heatmap was one of our favorite tools to build. We wanted to create something that shows what is driving the market through real news sentiment, not just price movement, so I'm glad you found it useful.

And whenever you're ready, give the Trading Journal a try. It's now completely free and we're actively improving it based on trader feedback.
Wishing you good trading and thanks for being part of the community.

Hi LuckyAleh
I recently came across your "FREE Trading Journal" and I find it very good. Thank you for doing this I have been very reluctant to pay for a journal because of the reasons you have highlighted not because I I won't pay for something I find beneficial.
I wonder how many people have downloaded your Journal and not even been bothered to leave a thank you post?

Hi, and thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate it.

To be honest, positive feedback like yours makes me happier than a new subscription. I didn't start this project just to make money. Many people probably don't know this, but every FX Radar tool was completely free for more than a year. I only introduced subscriptions for some of the other tools after the infrastructure costs kept growing with the increase in traffic. It was the only way to keep improving everything and continue building new features.
As for your question, I'll answer it a little differently.
The Trading Journal has actually surprised me, and not in the way I expected. I've realized that a large percentage of traders are far less disciplined than I thought. Ironically, more people are willing to pay for the AI Forex Trade Planner, which provides complete trade plans with entry, stop loss, take profit, and live market analysis, than use a completely free Trading Journal that can genuinely help improve discipline.
Almost every day I'm thinking about what I can add next to make the journal even better. At this point, I honestly believe it already includes everything most traders need to track their performance, identify patterns, and understand exactly what they need to improve.
Unfortunately, it seems that many "traders" are still looking for quick profits rather than focusing on discipline, consistency, and self improvement. That was probably the biggest surprise for me. I never expected the gap to be this large.

Thanks again for taking the time to leave a comment. It really does mean a lot.
