FAQ

Common Questions

Is it really free? What's the catch?

No catch. MIT-licensed, open-source, and runs entirely in your browser. There is no backend to charge you for. The whole point is a journal you own — selling subscriptions would defeat that.

Where is my trade data stored?

In your browser's IndexedDB — a database built into Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. The data never leaves your machine unless you export it. Zero servers, zero telemetry, zero "we got hacked" emails.

How does Tradezella import work?

Export your trades from Tradezella as a CSV. Use the Bulk Trade Entry → Tradezella CSV Import button, paste the CSV (or pick the file), and it auto-splits each row into open and close legs, detects short trades, and ports your mistake tags over. Most users finish in under five minutes.

Can I sync across devices?

Not automatically — that would require a server. You can export your full database and import it on another machine. Many users keep that file in their own Dropbox, iCloud, or Syncthing folder for cross-device access.

How does Signal Intel work?

An optional local background service aggregates RSS news on your watchlist and pipes each headline through an LLM you control — Ollama for full privacy, or OpenAI / Anthropic / Grok if you want a hosted model. Output is bullish/bearish/mixed with a confidence score and source links.

Will my data survive a browser update?

Yes. IndexedDB persists across browser updates, restarts, and reboots. It's only lost if you manually clear browser data, uninstall the browser, or your disk dies. Export regularly if your data matters to you.

Why no hosted version?

Because the whole pitch is privacy. Hosting a version means running servers that touch your trade data, which means accounts, payment, security responsibilities — all the things that turn into a $600/year subscription. Local TradeJournal stays local on principle.

How do I report a bug or request a feature?

Open an issue or PR at github.com/mindobix/local-trading-journal. New features ship fast.

Stop renting your trade data. Start owning it.

Clone the repo. Open the file. Start logging trades. No signup. No card. No "free trial that becomes paid in 14 days."
