Your trades arrive on their own — synced from cTrader, tracked live from your platform, or imported from a file. Evidence turns them into a structured journal, the statistics that show where your edge really is, an AI coach that reads your behaviour, and a replay that lets you trade any past day again, candle by candle.

What is Evidence

A Journal Built for Serious Traders

Evidence Trading is an analytics and journaling application for active traders. It gives you a structured way to record what you did, hard numbers on whether it worked, and a place to practise the parts that did not.

Getting trades in is not your job. Evidence syncs closed trades from the cTrader Open API — even while the app is closed, so a trade you took on your phone and forgot is journalled with its stop and target intact. It tracks trades live from MT5, ATAS, Quantower and TradingView, or imports a statement from 56 brokers and platforms — futures, stocks, options, crypto and FX alike. Search your broker by name and the right format is picked for you. Not on the list? Map the columns once, save it as your own preset, done. And you can always write a trade by hand. Every broker connection is strictly read-only: Evidence never touches open positions, pending orders or any execution layer.

From there it goes further than a logbook. Edge Lab runs the quant work on your own history — risk of ruin, MFE/MAE, what-if scenarios, Monte-Carlo projections. Strategy Lab takes an idea you can describe in a sentence, turns it into rules you click together, and tests it over years of real market data — with a parameter optimiser and a walk-forward check that tells you whether the result was an edge or just curve fitting. Market Replay rewinds the real market to any past day so you can trade it forward candle by candle. And an AI coach reads the journal you are building: it grades closed trades, names the behavioural patterns behind your losing streaks, and warns you while you are opening a trade that looks like the last mistake.

Capabilities

Key Features

Five things have to happen before a journal changes anything: the trades have to get in, get recorded, get measured, get behaviourally honest — and then get practised. Evidence covers all five.

01Importing your tradeswithout typing them

cTrader Auto-Sync

Connects to the cTrader Open API and imports your closed trade history by itself — live and demo accounts. Switch on background sync and it keeps going with the app closed: we watch the account for you and capture stop-loss and take-profit while the position is still open, which is the only moment your broker will tell anyone. Access is read-only: Evidence can see trades, never place or change one.

cTrader API

Live Auto-Tracking

Not on cTrader? A small tracker on MT5, ATAS, Quantower or TradingView reports your fills as they happen, so the journal fills itself there too.

4 platforms

Crypto — direct connection

Paste a read-only API key from Binance or Bybit and your fills arrive by themselves every ten minutes — app open or not, no export, no upload. Read-only means read-only: a key that is allowed to trade or withdraw is refused at the door, and the key is stored so that not even your own account can read it back.

Read-only keys

Academy

Nine written chapters on trading psychology — and under each one, your own numbers from your journal. Plus your own strategy written up as a book from your description, with your real trades on that setup as the examples. Questions after every chapter, and the ones you get wrong come back a week later.

Learn

Trading Glossary

429 terms, written out and explained — order types, chart patterns, prop firm rules, the option Greeks, the slang. Search an abbreviation such as R:R, SL or NFP and you get the words behind it plus a plain definition, and typos or paraphrases still find it. All of it free. With Pro, anything the 429 do not cover gets looked up by AI, which also says so when a word is not a trading term at all.

Free · AI lookup with Pro

Set up in three steps

Everything on this page is a lot to arrive at on day one. So a new account gets one question at a time: which broker do you trade, get your trades in, here is what they say about you. Pick your broker and the import already knows your statement format. Skippable at any point, and it never appears again once you have data. Nothing here is locked behind finishing it.

Guided start

Auto-Sync — or import anything else

Connected automatically: cTrader and Interactive Brokers directly, MetaTrader 5, TradingView, ATAS and Quantower over a live link, Binance and Bybit by read-only key. Trades arrive on their own — including the stop and target, which only exist while a position is open.

Everything else by statement: Pepperstone, IC Markets, FTMO, Topstep, NinjaTrader, Tradovate, Rithmic, tastytrade and 70+ more — search yours by name, or map any CSV yourself. Honest caveat: a statement is written after the trade closed, so it carries prices and P&L but not the stop you actually had on. Every broker, prop challenge and demo account then sits side by side.

04The part that loses the moneyyou, on a bad day

An AI coach that reads your journal

Not a chatbot bolted on the side: it works through your own trades and comes back with the behavioural patterns behind your losing streaks — unprompted, every ten trades.

A Warning Before, a Grade After

Opening something that looks like revenge trading, overtrading or a weak session gets you a warning while it is still avoidable. Closing it gets you an automatic A–F review.

Tiltmeter detects tilt from rule breaks and P&L patterns. Habits are correlated against performance. And your own rules can be checked before the trade, not after.

Practise, don't guess

Trade a day that already happened

Reading your statistics tells you what went wrong. It does not give you the reps to fix it. Market Replay rewinds the real market to any past date, hides everything after it, and lets you trade forward one candle at a time — on the same screen as your journal.

Not a simulator with made-up prices

61 instruments, from free tick-accurate Dukascopy data, on every timeframe from one minute to weekly — so a top-down read runs on the same screen as the entry. You buy at the ask and sell at the bid using the spread that actually existed at that moment, not a convenient constant.

Gold and silver · the seven FX majors and 21 crosses · 15 minors including SEK, NOK, PLN, TRY, ZAR, MXN, CNH and SGD · Nasdaq 100, S&P 500, Dow 30, DAX 40, FTSE 100, CAC 40, IBEX 35, Nikkei 225, ASX 200, Hang Seng · WTI and Brent · Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and XRP.

Where the line is, plainly: replay exists for the markets where tick-accurate data actually exists. Futures, stocks and options you can journal, import and analyse in full — including the prop-firm tooling — but not replay. That is a data-licensing wall, not an oversight, and we would rather say so than let you find out after you subscribe.

Manage it like a real position

Several take-profits that scale out, break-even, a trailing stop, partial closes — and you can drag the stop or any target straight on the chart while the trade is running.

It admits what it cannot know

If your stop and your target were both inside one candle, no chart can say which came first. Evidence books the loss, marks the trade, and can settle it for real against the tick data. Most backtests quietly book the win.

Study it properly

Play at half speed or ten times it, step one candle, jump straight to the London or New York open, or to any date in the session. Trend lines, boxes, Fibonacci and notes stay glued to the candles — and your account, drawdown and profit factor are tracked the whole way.

Set the same day for someone else

Send a session as a link. Either they watch what you did, or — and this is the one coaches want — they get the identical instrument and dates with an empty account and trade it themselves. Your entries deliberately do not travel, so it is a test rather than a copy.

Learn, then prove it changed

The only trading course that can check whether it worked

Every trading psychology course tells you not to revenge trade. None of them can tell you whether you stopped. Evidence can, because it already has your trades — so a chapter does not end with advice, it ends with a number.

All 27 chapters are free to read, right now, without an account: open the Academy →

Four books, then one thing you commit to, then the measurement

Twenty-seven written chapters across four courses: trading psychology, risk and position size, reading an edge and backtesting without fooling yourself — loss aversion and tilt, sizing backwards from the loss you accept, why a win rate on its own is meaningless, how many trades it takes before any number means anything, and every way a backtest lies. Written and checked by a human, not generated, because a lesson about behaviour under risk gets read as settled fact.

Your own numbers under every chapter

How long after a loss you actually re-enter. Whether your position size drifts up after one. How many trades carry no stop. Counted from your journal — nobody guesses, and nothing is generated.

One commitment per chapter

Pick a habit — “after a loss I wait 20 minutes”. Evidence freezes where you stand today and tells you weeks later whether it moved. Before 38 %, since 11 %. That sentence is the whole point.

The questions come back

Get one wrong and it returns after seven days, then after thirty, then not again. The difference between having understood something and still knowing it in a month.

Your strategy, written up as a book

Describe how you trade and get six chapters back — including what your strategy is not — with your own trades on that setup as the examples. Winners and losers both, because a book of only winners teaches the wrong thing.

Arithmetic you operate, not pictures of arithmetic

The sizing chapter ends in a sizer you type your own account into. The chapter on losing runs ends in a simulation you re-roll until the point lands. The one on sample size shows you what your own trade count can and cannot support.

Then practise it on charts you have never seen

The drill trainer puts you at real historical locations from your own rules — the ones that worked, the ones that lost by the rules, the near-misses and the empty stretches — with the right-hand side of the chart hidden. Scored on rule adherence, never on money.

Honest limit: it measures whether a habit changed. It cannot promise the change makes you profitable, and it does not claim to.

For mentors and groups

A community where the posts carry the trades

If you run a trading group, you already know that screenshots are curated and “what did everyone trade today?” gets answered by the people having a good week. A Space is the same group with the numbers attached — and it is shipped and running, not a waitlist.

If you already run a Discord, Telegram or Skool group, start here →

Chat, voice and moderation — then the three things a chat app cannot do

Posts that carry the actual trades

Symbol, direction, entry, stop, target, exit, planned R and the result — attached to the post, not screenshotted. Press Replay on any of them and watch it play back candle by candle from before the entry.

A board that ranks process, not profit

Sorted by Evidence Score, which is 85 % process. A P&L leaderboard rewards whoever risked most — the exact behaviour a journal exists to catch. Money figures are never published to a board at all.

Nobody's journal is visible by default

Every figure another member sees was copied out by its owner on purpose. Untick one and it is not written at all, and a card comes down in one click. The journal itself stays in a document only its owner can read.

Publish your playbooks and courses

A playbook arrives as a copy members can edit. A course appears in their Academy beside the built-in ones — same chapter progress, same spaced repetition on the questions they get wrong.

Who has gone quiet

As the owner you see who has not journalled in over a week and whose process score is slipping. From the cards members published, and phrased as a prompt to ask — not a verdict.

Voice rooms and real moderation

Drop-in voice, owner/admin/mod roles, timed mutes, warnings that auto-kick, bans with an appeals process and an audit log. The unglamorous half that decides whether a community can actually live somewhere.

Honest limit: a board only shows what members chose to publish. If nobody publishes, it is empty — that is the design.

One system, not seven features

Evidence AI reads your journal — and never does the maths

Every figure it quotes is counted by the app first. The model reads results and explains them; it is explicitly forbidden to calculate, estimate or invent a number. That sounds like a small distinction until an AI tells you your Tuesday win rate is "around 60%" and you size up on it.

What it does today

Answers questions about your own trading

"Why do I keep losing on Fridays?" is answered from your performance by weekday, by entry hour, by session and by setup, plus what happens to the trade after a loss — all computed across your full history, not the last handful of trades.

Warns you while it is still avoidable

Opening something that looks like revenge trading, overtrading or a weak session gets you a warning before the entry, not a diagnosis afterwards. Closing it gets an automatic A–F review of the execution.

Reviews the session, from arithmetic first

Sequence, give-back, size drift after a loss and rule adherence are computed locally. Only then does the model write the paragraph — and a green day full of rule breaks is reported as a warning, not a win.

Turns plain words into testable rules

Describe your setup in ordinary sentences — including FVG, CHoCH, sweeps, OTE and the rest — and get back rules you can read, correct and then backtest on real bars. The model formalises; it never judges a chart.

Tags, writes and explains

Behavioural tag suggestions on your trades, a written course built from your own strategy description, and a glossary lookup for the terms the 429 curated ones do not cover — which will also tell you plainly when something is not a trading term at all.

Says when it does not know

Any slice of your history under six trades is withheld rather than reported. A 39% win rate over three trades is noise, and an AI that reads it out loud teaches you to chase noise.

Also live — Drills: describe your strategy in plain words, the AI turns it into rules you can read and correct, and a backtest finds real historical spots to practise on — including the ones where the rule fires and still loses. You are scored on following the rule, never on the result.

Where your data goes: the AI features run on Google's Gemini API, and only when you use one of them. Nothing is sent in the background, and none of it trains anybody's model. The full list of processors is in the privacy section.

Trust & Safety

Security & Data Privacy

Evidence requests a single cTrader Open API permission. This section documents exactly how that permission is used and the strict technical boundaries enforced by the application.

Evidence Trading does not place, modify, or close trades.

The application contains no trade execution logic. It is technically incapable of interacting with open orders or positions.

Permission Requested

Access any available account info

This is the only cTrader API permission requested. Used exclusively to retrieve read-only data:

✓Retrieve closed trade history and fill data

✓Read account balance and equity snapshots

✓Access symbol and instrument metadata

✗Place, modify, or cancel any order — never used

✗Access funds or payment methods — never used

Data Handling

Privacy & Storage Policy

All data is handled with strict privacy standards:

✓Trade data stored securely in user's own cloud account

✓Data is never sold, shared, or transmitted to third parties

✓API tokens scoped to individual user sessions only

✗Credentials never stored in plain text or logged

✗No data aggregation across user accounts

Where your data lives — and how it is encrypted

Concrete answers, not "bank-grade security". Every claim below is repeated verbatim in our privacy policy.

Journal storage location

EU multi-region eur3

Google Cloud Firestore, replicated across Belgium and the Netherlands. Your trades, notes and screenshots do not leave the EU.

Encryption in transit

TLS 1.2+ (TLS 1.3 preferred)

HTTPS everywhere, HSTS on the domain. The broker bridge talks to the cTrader Open API over TLS as well — no plaintext hop anywhere in the chain.

Encryption at rest

AES-256

All stored data is AES-256 encrypted at rest by the platform. Broker refresh tokens get a second layer: AES-256-GCM application-level encryption, with the key held only in the server environment — never in the database.

Who can read your journal

Only you

Per-user database rules enforced server-side. Nothing is shared unless you publish it yourself — a community post, a report link or a mentor share you can revoke. No cross-account aggregation, no selling, no ad tracking.

Broker access

Read-only, revocable

One scope, read-only. There is no order-execution code in the product. Disconnect the broker or switch off background sync and the stored token is deleted.

Passwords & payments

We never see them

Authentication is handled by Firebase Auth (passwords stored only as a salted hash on their side). Card data goes straight to Stripe — we receive a customer and subscription id, never a card number.

Sub-processors

Named, not hidden

Google (Firebase, and the Gemini API behind every AI feature — only when you use one), Cloudflare (workers), Render (broker bridge), Stripe (payments), Dukascopy & Twelve Data (price data, no personal data sent). Non-EU transfers run on Standard Contractual Clauses.

Your rights

Export & delete, any time

Full CSV/JSON export from inside the app, one-click account deletion, and GDPR access/erasure requests answered within 30 days. Cancel your subscription in the app — no email required.

The chart is free. Reading it is Pro.

The live chart stays open to everyone — every instrument TradingView carries, every timeframe, your own drawings. What Pro adds is what happens beside it: Evidence loads the candles of five timeframes at once, works out the supply and demand areas with a strength score broken into its five parts, and hands the whole picture to the AI — which may confirm an area, throw one out, or name one the indicator missed. Judged against your playbook, not against general market theory, so it works for a strategy that has nothing to do with zones

Click a zone and get a plan for that zone

Entry, stop and — where your own rules allow scaling out — several take-profits with the share of the position for each, every number checked against the candles before you see it. A target on the wrong side of the entry, a stop three times your usual, shares that do not add up to 100 % — each of those is shown next to the figure instead of being quietly passed on

The watcher — and it stays with a running trade

It tells you when price actually reaches one of your areas, and once you are in: half the risk used, 1R reached, each target taken, and the move given back after being ahead. When something with judgement in it happens — an opposing area right in the way — it asks the AI. Break-even is a button, never automatic: when the risk comes off is your decision, not a calculation

🎖️

Every zone idea measured to its end

Say "I am trading this one" and Evidence records what the zone looked like at that moment — strength, the AI verdict, the source, your playbook — then follows the price to the result, and catches up from the candles for the hours the app was closed. Afterwards the results are split by zone strength, by AI confidence and by verdict, so the honest question gets an honest answer: does trading with it pay? Groups under thirty ideas are dimmed, and a candle that touched stop and target at once is marked unclear and left out rather than guessed

Edge Lab & Quant Analytics

⏮︎

Market Replay — trade any past day for real

Rewind the real market to any date on free tick-accurate data, hide the future and trade it forward candle by candle — with real historical spreads

Full trade management in the replay

Several take-profits that scale out, break-even, trailing stops, partial closes — and drag your stop or any target straight on the chart while the trade runs

Saved backtests

Keep a replay under its own name with its trades, stops, targets and drawings — reopen it later to review the result or carry on trading where you stopped

Edge Lab — Backtest & Trade Replay

Test any strategy over your full history with Monte-Carlo projections, and replay trades on a live candle chart

Your own trades, played back candle by candle

The chart opens sixty candles before your entry and runs forward at 0.5× to 10×. Your entry marker appears on the candle it actually happened on, not before — and while the trade is running the open result ticks along underneath in pips and in R. Scrub anywhere, or click an execution to jump straight to it

Day Replay — the whole session

From two hours before your first entry to an hour after your last exit, with every trade of that day appearing in order and the day's realised result building as it goes. Built for the question a single trade cannot answer: what the second loss did to the third entry

⧉

The higher timeframe, on the same clock

A second chart above the entry, revealed to the very same moment — so the top-down read that produced the trade is reviewed the way it was made, instead of from behind a tab

Write it while you are watching it

Notes, tags and a chart snapshot go straight onto the trade from inside the replay, and straight into your reports and analytics — so the note is what you saw, not what you remembered afterwards

Four courses, and they check whether it worked

Twenty-seven written chapters on psychology, risk and position size, reading an edge, and backtesting without fooling yourself — all free to read publicly. What Pro adds is the part no course can do from an article: your own figures under every chapter, one commitment you pick and Evidence measures against your journal weeks later, questions you got wrong coming back after 7 and 30 days, and a chapter that surfaces itself when your own numbers cross a line

Run your own Space

Joining a community is free. Pro is what lets you run one: your own server with chat, voice rooms and real moderation, a feed where every post can carry the actual trades with a replay button on each, a board ranked by Evidence Score rather than profit, and a library you publish your playbooks and courses into — courses that appear in your members' Academy with the same progress tracking as the built-in ones. Plus the owner view no ranking gives you: who has not journalled in over a week, and whose process is slipping

Strategy Drills — recognition, not reading

Describe your strategy, confirm the rules Evidence proposes, and it finds every place in years of real history where they applied. Then it shows them one at a time with the right-hand side of the chart hidden and asks what you would do. Four kinds of location, and the important one is the setup that was valid and lost — a trainer built only from winners teaches that a correct setup wins, and the first real loss then reads as a broken strategy. Scored on whether you followed the rules; the money is shown afterwards and counts for nothing

Tick-precise fills, not guessed ones

When a candle contains both your stop and your target, most replays pick one and move on. Evidence resolves it from the real tick stream of that minute — the bid and the ask as they actually printed — so the trade closes where it would have closed

Stat Lab — 68 metrics, sliced any way

The full catalogue — edge, risk, R, timing and execution — broken down by setup, symbol, session, timeframe, entry hour, account or month, and exportable as CSV

🧮

Build your own metrics

Write a formula over any statistic — your metric then appears everywhere the built-in ones do, and can be used inside other formulas

⏱️

Tick-precision replay fills

When a stop and a target fall in the same candle, the real Dukascopy tick order decides which came first — instead of always assuming the stop won

◎

Options exposure

Net delta, gamma, theta and vega across the book, with a heatmap by underlying and expiry

Session review

Intraday give-back, revenge windows, size drift after losses and rule adherence — with a coach verdict on the process, not the P&L

Academy — a psychology course that reads your journal

Nine written chapters on why traders who know exactly what to do still do something else — and under each one, your own numbers: how fast you re-enter after a loss, whether your size drifts up, how often you move a stop

✅︎

Commitments — the part that makes it stick

Pick one habit per chapter. Evidence freezes where you stand today and tells you weeks later whether it actually changed — measured against your own trades, not asked about

Your strategy, written up as a book

Describe how you trade and get six chapters back — including what your strategy is not — with your own trades on that setup as the examples, winners and losers both

Glossary AI lookup

The glossary itself is free — 429 trading terms, abbreviations written out and explained. Pro adds the lookup for everything it does not cover: the AI explains the term, or tells you plainly that it is not a trading term at all

Books with trade cards

Writing, drawing and images are free for up to 3 books. Pro adds unlimited books, trade cards from your journal (compact, standard, chart, polaroid, comparison, gallery pages), a daily trading page, PDF and image export, and AI handwriting-to-text and page summaries

Share books read-only

Share a book with up to 3 servers (all members or staff only), your coach, your students or single traders, whole or chosen pages. Readers cannot edit, copy, export or share it further — the server enforces it. Watermark, hidden money amounts, optional comments and a log of who opened it

Strategy Lab — automated backtesting

Build indicator rules by clicking, run them over years of real bars, sweep the parameters and prove it with a walk-forward test — no code needed

✦

Describe your strategy instead of assembling it

Write how you trade in ordinary sentences and get back testable rules — shown to you first, in plain language, together with everything the translation had to assume. Nothing runs until you agree with it, and you can change every condition afterwards

🧊

Smart-money concepts as real, testable rules

Fair value gaps and their inversion, change of character and break of structure, liquidity sweeps, OTE, the Asian range, Power of Three, ADR and SMT divergence against a correlated market — each one exactly defined and computed without ever reading a future candle

🌅

Start my day — a briefing, not a recap

Before the open: the high-impact events on your instruments today, and the part no other app can tell you — what your own journal says about this weekday and these sessions, counted across your full history. Slices under six trades are withheld rather than reported, and nothing on the card is generated or forecast

🎖️

The Evidence Score — one number, and it is not your P&L

Rule adherence, risk consistency, tilt control and expectancy, combined into a single 0–100 read. Four fifths of the weight is process: a losing week traded by your own rules barely moves it, and a winning week of broken ones drops it. Every component is shown with its sample size and its arithmetic — and anything there is not enough data for is left out of the calculation rather than counted as zero

Prop firm cockpit — the drawdown model your firm really uses

Most trackers know one kind of drawdown. Firms use three, and the difference is where accounts die: at Apex Trader Funding your trailing threshold climbs with your equity and then stops the moment it reaches your starting balance — this one models that, along with end-of-day trailing and static floors, measured against your intraday low rather than your closing balance. The consistency rule is reported as headroom in money, not a progress bar: the largest single day you can still book without a payout being refused. Every prop and funded account keeps its own rules, so a Topstep and an Apex Trader Funding challenge run side by side without one overwriting the other

What the whole prop business actually cost you

Entry fees, resets, activation fees and payouts per challenge, entered once and turned into the numbers nobody can otherwise answer: total spent against total received, return on everything spent, and a pass rate per firm — counted only over attempts you have marked decided, so a challenge still running never counts as a failure. No bank connection, because four fields once a month do not justify handing over a bank account

Tradovate Auto-Sync — built, not yet switched on

The connection is written and waiting: read-only, through Tradovate's own consent screen, with the access token stored where the app itself cannot read it. What is holding it up is not on our side — Tradovate does not currently grant API access to prop-firm accounts (Topstep, Apex, MyFundedFutures), which is exactly the group it was built for, and we are not shipping a Connect button that fails for most of the people who would press it. Until then, and this works today: futures fills come in by CSV — map the columns once and Evidence recognises that format by itself afterwards, prop accounts included

61 instruments, every one of them checked

Gold and silver, the seven FX majors with 21 crosses and 15 minors, ten indices from the Nasdaq to the Hang Seng, WTI, Brent and four crypto. Each was fetched from the feed before it was listed — so nothing in the dropdown opens an empty chart. Futures, stocks and options are journalled and analysed in full but deliberately not replayed: that is a data-licensing wall, and we say so rather than let you find it after subscribing

Daily and weekly replay, with real navigation

Every timeframe from one minute to weekly, so the higher-timeframe read happens in the replay instead of beside it — plus 0.5× to 10× playback and jumps straight to the Asian, London, New York or US cash open, or to any date in the session

Send a session as a link. Either they watch your orders, stops and targets play out — or they get the same instrument, the same dates and an empty account and trade that day themselves. Your entries do not travel in that mode, on purpose

Challenge mode — practise the rules, not just the entry

Run a replay session under your prop firm’s actual rules: the drawdown model, the daily loss limit, the consistency requirement. Touch one and the session stops exactly as the firm would close it. The rule sets come from the prop cockpit, so there is one place in the app where "what does Topstep require" is written down — and what this trains is the part people actually fail on, which is not the entry but the day they were down and kept going

🧩

Confluence — which of your conditions actually pay

Your playbook checklists already record which conditions held on each trade. This scores every single one, and every pair and triple, against the trades where they all held — measured as lift against your own baseline, because "this wins 70 %" is not a finding when you already win 70 %. Combinations below the minimum sample are not shown as findings at all

A chart workspace, not a page that scrolls

Toolbar down the left, chart in the middle, your positions in a dock on the right, controls along the bottom — one frame that fits the screen. Before this the replay gave the chart 56 % of the window and put the playback controls and your open position below the fold; you could never see the chart and your own position at the same time. It is now 78.5 % with the dock closed, and nothing scrolls

✎

15 drawing tools, and they stay editable

Trend lines, rays, arrows, boxes, ellipses, Fibonacci, parallel channels, a measuring tool in pips, percent and bars — plus a long and short position tool with red risk and green reward and a live R:R, every edge draggable. Select, move and resize anything after the fact, and star the ones you use onto the bar

Analytics & Tracking

Auto-Tagging Rules + AI Tags

Custom rules auto-tag your trades (e.g. opened after 16:00 → Overtrading) — plus AI-suggested tags per trade

Integrations & Import

Nothing is imported until you have seen what came out of the file

Every journal that quietly swallows a statement is one bad column away from being confidently wrong — half the executions dropped, the P&L off by the commission, every trade on the wrong day because the broker reports in its own server time. So the import stops once and shows you: executions read and positions built, the file’s own net P&L against what Evidence computed, which rows are duplicates of trades you already have, how many arrived without a stop, and which timezone was assumed — with a switch to correct it

Is my journal still receiving trades?

One page that answers it for every connection at once. A broken link is otherwise invisible: nothing errors, nothing looks missing, the journal simply stops growing and you find out weeks later — at which point you stop believing any number in the app. After three failed attempts in a row you also get an email, so you do not have to be the one checking

cTrader Auto-Sync

Live OAuth connection — auto-imports closed positions from cTrader Demo & Live accounts

Background Sync — cTrader

We keep watching your account on our server, so trades and their SL/TP reach your journal even when Evidence is closed. Opt-in, encrypted, read-only — switch it off and nothing stays server-side
