Journaling your trades is the most important thing for learning and getting better at trading in my opinion. So I'm curious, what journals do you use and *why?*

Hello guys, I am a self taught dev, currently brainstorming on some projects. I am also a trader. I have been thinking of building a trading journal that is better than what is in the market. What would your ideal journal look like? What features would you want? How much would you be willing to pay for this app? I believe journaling is very crucial to learn from your past mistakes and build confidence. I also love competition in the software dev space because that is how products get better and cheaper (double win for the customers). I feel like the existing products like tradezella and tradersync are very feature heavy, which is very tiring and makes the reviewing tedious. I am not looking to compete with these guys but to offer a cheaper, cleaner, minimalist but effective journal for the small niches. I would be willing to partner with any devs here to build it or even beat me to it and build it yourself. I however donot want to spend soo much time building something people don't actually use. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone, I’m trying to understand how traders actually operate day-to-day and I have two quick questions for you. 1. Journaling: what app or web app do you use? Do you use anything specific to track your trades? Is it free or paid? If you’re paying, how much does it cost you per month/year? And if you’re using something free, would you be willing to pay for a better solution — and how much would feel reasonable? 2. Do you trade solo or with others? Are you a lone wolf, or do you have one or more friends/peers you share ideas with, bounce setups off of, or review trades together? No promo here, just genuinely trying to understand the real habits of people who trade seriously. Thanks to anyone who takes a minute to reply 🙏
