Headlines become catalyst context, not live quote claims.
Bring in your broker report, review the trading day, and keep your journal history and notes under your control.
The Desk is your local review workspace: the journal, notes, history, and trade review flow you control.
Supported broker: Interactive Brokers. TradeDesk is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Interactive Brokers LLC or its affiliates.
What it does
A private stock journal that lives where your data already lives.
Affordable Alternative
Get the journal basics without another expensive monthly platform becoming the center of your process.
Supported Broker Import
Lite starts with the Interactive Brokers TradeLog report from Third-Party Downloads. Advanced adds connected Flex Query support.
Review Workflow
Review trades, charts, notes, setups, and execution context from one place instead of scattered files and tabs.
Performance Analytics
See daily P&L, symbol edge, calendar views, setup attribution, and the metrics you actually check after the close.
Forecast & Tax Audit
Model account growth, monthly targets, tax drag, deposits, and after-cost performance.
Open Exposure
Check open trades, unrealized P&L, and market prices when you choose to refresh them.
AI Coaching Layer
Advanced turns journal stats into review notes, coaching prompts, Ask My Journal answers, and pre-market context.
Focused First Release
Stocks come first. Options and more broker integrations are later roadmap items.

Built by traders
Built after trying the journals that almost worked.
TradeDesk came from real trading-room frustration: too many journals tested, too many data problems, too many missing review features, and too many subscriptions for tools that still did not feel like home.
Data integrity first
Your trades should come in cleanly, consistently, and in a way you can trust.
Features traders actually use
Daily P&L, trade review, strategy tags, notes, analytics, forecasting, and AI coaching in one workspace.
Less SaaS exhaustion
Start affordable. Add connected services only when they earn their keep.
Why this matters
Most traders do not need more homework. They need a better review system.
Trading gets emotional fast
Entries, exits, news, and the next trade get attention. Review, behavior, sizing, timing, and process usually get pushed aside.
Manual journals lose people
After a long day or a bad loss, manual imports, tags, and notes feel like work. That is where most good journaling intentions fade.
Memory is not enough
Traders remember the emotional trades, not always the statistical truth. The real leaks often hide in time of day, sizing, revenge trades, and strategy drift.
The opportunity is passive journaling.
See The Workflow
Bring in the trades, let the journal organize the day, then surface the patterns automatically. TradeDesk is not just a place to store trades. It is a way to get better.
Desktop support
Built for the machines traders already use.
Windows Support
Designed for Windows traders who want a private local journal, simple launch, backups, and access they control.
Mac Support
Planned for Mac traders who want the same private journal workflow, portable backups, browser-based access, and control over their history.
Ubuntu Desktop Support
Planned for Linux traders who want a local journal workflow, portable files, and the same browser-based review experience.
Packaging may vary by release, but the idea stays the same: your journal is yours, and your history should be portable.
Advanced AI layer
AI helps explain the numbers your journal already calculated.
TradeDesk uses AI to help explain your own journal results. The journal calculates the numbers first, then AI helps turn them into practical review notes when you choose to use it.
AI does not place trades, connect to your brokerage account to trade, or pretend it has live prices. Its job is to help you review behavior, spot patterns, and prepare for the next session.
AI Trade Review
Creates a grade, coaching cards, pattern notes, a journal summary, and a next-session action plan from stats your journal already calculated.
Ask My Journal
Ask questions like “What is my biggest leak?” or “What should I focus on tomorrow?” Answers stay tied to the current filtered journal summary.
News & Sentiment Brief
Turns headline flow into a pre-market market brief with tone, risk notes, themes, sector context, and ticker mentions.
Controlled By The User
Advanced users can turn AI features on or off. If AI is unavailable, the journal still shows practical summaries from your own results.
Your journal history stays in charge
Repeated reviews are saved to avoid extra work
Behavior flags are hypotheses, not orders
AI does not place trades or change trade records
Trading journal software
For traders who want a practical journal, not another bloated platform.
