No mockups and no edited video. What you see below is the actual Evidence application, loaded with a sample journal of ~170 trades across three accounts. Click the tabs, scroll inside it, open any screen. It is fully interactive, and nothing you do is saved anywhere.
Evidence Trading is a journal and analytics app for active traders: a structured record of 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. cTrader and MetaTrader 5 sync on their own — even while the app is closed and you trade from your phone — ATAS, Quantower and TradingView report fills live, and Binance and Bybit connect with a read-only key. Anything else comes in as a statement from 94 brokers and prop firms, or by hand.
Then the work starts: statistics that say how many trades stand behind each number, a replay that lets you trade any past day again, an AI coach that names the pattern behind your losing streaks — and a course that measures whether you actually changed.
Export your trade history from MT5, cTrader or your broker as CSV and drop it here. The file is read in your browser and never uploaded. No account needed.
A journal only changes something if five things happen: your trades get in, get written up, get measured, get looked at honestly, and then get practised. Evidence does all five.
Log in once with your account's investor password. From then on our MT5 server keeps your account in view around the clock. Every trade you open, adjust or close reaches your journal, whether you placed it in the MT5 phone app, on your desktop or on a VPS. No Expert Advisor to install, no PC left running.
Where the line is, plainly: MetaTrader 5 only — MT4 keeps the free Expert Advisor route. A handful of brokers run custom servers that cannot be reached this way; if yours is one of them you will know within a minute, and the Expert Advisor still works.
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.
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: futures (ES, NQ, YM, GC, CL and the micros) replay in whole contracts with the exchange's tick values, but on the CFD price that tracks each one — CME's own data is licensed, so levels sit a little away from the futures chart. Stocks and options you can journal and analyse in full, but not replay. We would rather say so now than have you find out after you subscribe.
Accounts are rarely lost to one bad trade. They are lost to a drawdown line that moved while you were looking at the chart. Pick your firm, size and phase — and every page of the app measures that account with the firm’s real rules.
Static, end-of-day or intraday trailing drawdown, a floor that stops at your starting balance where the firm does that, the daily limit on the firm’s own clock, the consistency rule and minimum days.
Each preset carries the date its rules were checked. Any other firm works with your own numbers.

Not affiliated with any prop firm — check the rules against your own contract.
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 →
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.
Honest limit: it measures whether a habit changed. It cannot promise the change makes you profitable, and it does not claim to.
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. It is shipped and running, not a waitlist.
If you already run a Discord, Telegram or Skool group, start here →
Honest limit: a board only shows what members chose to publish. If nobody publishes, it is empty — that is the design.
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.
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.
Most traders who try a new journal already keep one somewhere else. Starting from zero would throw away your history, and your history is the whole point of a journal.
Screenshots and chart images are not included, because these apps do not put them into their export files. Importing is free on every plan — no trial and no card needed.
Add your live numbers to OBS or Streamlabs as a browser source — straight from your journal. Streaming regularly? Streamer partners also get a 3D sponsor banner with their own code and earn on every subscription.
I trade myself — forex and CFDs, futures, and prop firm challenges. Every journal I tried showed me what happened. None of them could tell me whether I had actually changed.
So I built the one I wanted: numbers that say how many trades stand behind them, a replay to practise on, and a course that measures whether a habit really moved. It is built in Germany, and you can reach me directly.
The journal is free for good. Pro adds the automatic broker sync, Market Replay, the AI coach and the full analytics. You can try all of it for 7 days without a card.
Prices in US dollars and final — no VAT is charged (small-business rule, § 19 UStG, Germany). Monthly and yearly plans cancel in the app or with the link at the bottom of this page.
Every feature, line by line. Click a group to see all of it.

We are a young product, and we would rather hear the hard truth from twenty real traders than guess. If you trade actively and keep a journal, or want to start one, apply for one of the founding places.
Automatically: cTrader through its Open API, which keeps syncing while the app is closed; MetaTrader 5 through its read-only investor password, trades from the MT5 phone app included; and Binance and Bybit through a read-only API key. Live from your platform: MetaTrader 5, TradingView, ATAS and Quantower report fills through a small tracker, and NinjaTrader is in beta. Everything else, Interactive Brokers included, arrives as a statement file. Search your broker by name and the format is detected automatically; an unknown one you map once by hand.
No. Every broker connection is read-only, and the app contains no order logic at all. It can read your history; it cannot touch your account.
Yes, and it does not expire: manual journaling, statement import and import from other journals, guardrails and the rules engine, Prop mode for one challenge, the Academy, Spaces, the mindset log, the glossary and up to three books. Pro adds the automatic syncs, Market Replay, Edge Lab and the AI coach.
$29.99 a month, or $279.99 a year, which comes to $23.33 a month. There is also a one-off Founding Lifetime licence for $419.99, limited to 50 seats. Prices are in US dollars and final: no VAT is charged under the German small-business rule (§ 19 UStG).
After you register, one click in the app starts 7 days of Pro. No payment details are asked for and nothing renews — after the week you are simply back on the free plan.
In the app, or with “Verträge hier kündigen” (cancel contracts here) at the bottom of this page, which works without signing in.
Yes. There are import presets for exports from TradeZella, TraderSync, Tradervue, TradesViz, Edgewonk and Trademetria, and free column mapping for anything else — free on every plan. Screenshots do not come along, because those exports do not contain them. How it works.
Only you, unless you decide otherwise. Notes, screenshots, prices and money are always private. A public profile — symbol, direction, pips, R:R and setup on the leaderboard — is off by default; you can switch it on in the settings under profile visibility. Sharing a book or your journal with a coach is also something you switch on yourself.
Yes. Being coached is free: you decide which parts of your journal your coach sees, and you can switch the sharing off again at any time. The coach needs Pro to run the cockpit, calls, bookings and student feed.
Evidence installs as an app straight from the browser on iPhone and Android, with its own icon and notifications. There is no App Store version yet.
The numbers are counted by the app, not by the model. The AI reads the results and explains them, and it is instructed never to calculate, estimate or invent a figure. It runs on Google’s Gemini API, and only when you use an AI feature.
Market Replay runs on free tick-accurate Dukascopy data for 61 instruments — metals, FX pairs, indices, oil and crypto. The main CME futures (ES, NQ, YM, GC, CL and their micros) can be replayed with exact contract values in whole contracts, on the matching CFD price data rather than CME's own feed, so price levels sit a small basis away from the futures chart. Stocks and options you can journal, import and analyse in full, but not replay.
Market Replay and the AI coach are in the one paid plan instead of a higher tier, the free plan does not expire, and the full backup exports everything. Side-by-side comparisons, with sources and the date we checked them: TradeZella, TraderSync, Edgewonk, TradesViz.
Evidence reads your trades and never touches your account. Here is exactly what each connection can do, where your data lives, and who processes it.
Concrete answers, not "bank-grade security". Every claim below is also in our privacy policy.
eur3AES-256-GCM application-level encryption, with the key held only in the server environment. MT5 investor passwords are AES-256 encrypted on our own MT5 server in Germany — never in the app database.Something here unclear or missing? Write to us and we will answer it in writing — and put the answer on this page.
The journal is free for good, and one click gives you 7 days of Pro without a card. Connect a broker, import a statement or log your first trade by hand.
