What is Evidence

A journal built for serious traders

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.

Capabilities

What it does

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.

01Importing your tradeswithout typing them
MT5 Cloud Sync
Enter server, account number and the read-only investor password once. Our MT5 server keeps the account in view around the clock, so every trade lands in your journal — opened on the phone, the desktop or a VPS — with SL/TP, commission and swap. No Expert Advisor, no PC left running. How it works →
MetaTrader 5
cTrader Auto-Sync
Live and demo accounts through the cTrader Open API. Switch on background sync and it keeps going with the app closed — capturing stop and target while the position is still open, the only moment your broker will tell anyone. Read-only: Evidence can see trades, never place or change one.
cTrader API
Live Auto-Tracking
A small tracker on MT5, ATAS, Quantower or TradingView reports your fills as they happen, so the journal fills itself there too. NinjaTrader is in beta.
4 platforms
Crypto — direct connection
Paste a read-only API key from Binance or Bybit and your fills arrive every ten minutes, app open or not. A key that is allowed to trade or withdraw is refused at the door.
Read-only keys
Everything else: import a statement
Pepperstone, IC Markets, FTMO, Topstep, Interactive Brokers, NinjaTrader, Tradovate, Rithmic, tastytrade — 94 brokers and prop firms in all. Search yours by name, or map any CSV once. Honest caveat: a statement carries prices and P&L, but not the stop you actually had on.
Free Multi-account
Set up in three steps
A new account gets one question at a time: which broker you trade, how your trades get in, and what they say about you. Skippable at any point, and nothing is locked behind finishing it.
Guided start
02Your trading journalthe part you actually sit in every evening
Structured trading journal
One card per trade: entry, stop, target, R:R, screenshots, the mistakes you made and what you did right — plus an automatic A–F grade with a one-line review.
Journal
Calendar, setups & playbooks
A month at a time, coloured by result. Name your setups, give each playbook its checklist and rules, and see per-playbook stats — including how much your adherence is worth.
Routine
Auto-tagging & chart frames
Rules tag trades as they arrive, with AI suggestions you can dismiss. Attach several chart frames per trade — higher and lower timeframe, before and after.
Less admin
03Where your edge really isnumbers, not impressions
Dashboard & statistics
Equity curve, win rate, average R:R, max drawdown and profit factor — then broken down by session, weekday, symbol, direction, setup and timeframe.
Analytics
Edge Lab & Strategy Lab
Strategy Lab — build indicator rules by clicking and backtest them on years of real bars, then sweep the parameters and check them out-of-sample · risk of ruin, Sharpe and per-setup expectancy · MFE / MAE heat vs. outcome · what-if scenarios · Monte-Carlo projections · missed trades · screenshot gallery.

Reports you can send
Pivot any dimension against any metric, drill into the trades behind a number, save the view as a preset, export it as CSV or PDF — or hand someone a share link.
Reports
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.
AI
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.
Live
Psychology & rules
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.
Discipline
05Not on your ownand the small tools around it
Mentor & team mode
Give a coach a scoped view of your journal — you decide what they see — or run your own students from a cockpit: who needs attention, a live feed of their trades, calls with screen share, bookings, a coach chat with pre-trade checks, a process radar and step-by-step programmes. Being mentored is free.
Coaching
Community & your language
A moderated feed, leaderboards by pips or by discipline, and direct messages. The whole app translates into your language and shows P&L in 16 currencies.

Academy
27 written chapters across four courses — psychology, risk, edge and backtesting — free to read. Under each one, your own numbers from your journal, and questions you got wrong come back a week later. How it works →
Learn
The rest of the desk
A glossary of 429 trading terms (free; AI lookup beyond that with Pro), economic calendar with event alerts, position-size and risk calculators, the S&D Zones TradingView indicator — and an installable app with notifications on phone and desktop.
Tools
MetaTrader 5 · Cloud Sync

Trade on your phone. It's already journalled.

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.

Three fields, about a minute

1Server exactly as MT5 shows it — e.g. your prop firm's demo or live server.
2Account number and the investor password — the read-only one, not your trading password.
3History — bring in the last 30 or 90 days, or start fresh.
Read-only by design
The investor password cannot place, change or close an order — that is how MetaTrader itself is built, not a promise we make. Evidence sees trades; it can never take one.
Numbers straight from the broker
Entry, exit, lot size, stop and target — including every SL/TP change while the trade is open — and the exact result with commission and swap, not a recalculation.
Built for prop accounts
Connect up to three MT5 accounts — a challenge, a funded account and a personal one side by side. Each lands in its own account, so one switch filters the whole journal to it. If a sync ever stops, you get an email instead of a silent gap.
Stored encrypted, deleted when you leave
The password is kept AES-256 encrypted on our MT5 server — never in the app database, never in a log — and deleted the moment you disconnect, delete your account, or seven days after Pro ends.

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.

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: 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.

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.
Built for prop challenges

Tell it your firm once. Then pass.

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.

The rules your firm actually uses

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.

FTMO · Topstep · Apex Trader Funding · The5ers · FundedNext · Funding Pips · MyFundedFutures · TakeProfit Trader

On every page
A bar under the navigation shows the distance to the floor and the room left today. The overview opens with your challenge, and a trade card warns when its stop would take most of today’s room.
A stop before the firm’s
Your personal stop sits at half the firm’s daily limit unless you choose otherwise. You end a bad day with room to spare, not at the line.
Phases, and the moment you pass
Phase 1, Phase 2, funded — each with its own target. When every condition is met, the app says so. When a rule breaks, it names the rule and the day.
Would you have passed?
Run your existing trades against any of the presets. Everything after the first breach is ignored — in a real challenge the account would already be closed.
Freeone challenge, with everything above.
Proseveral at once, each with its own rules; phases and a payout tracker; what each challenge cost and paid; what ended the failed ones; and the largest size your stop allows today, on the chart.

Not affiliated with any prop firm — check the rules against your own contract.

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.
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.
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. 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

Trades, not screenshots of them
Share a trade from your journal into a channel or a post: symbol, direction, entry, stop, target, exit and the realised R on a stop-to-target ladder, marked when it came from a broker sync. 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.
A real chat, voice rooms and moderation
Replies, reactions, bias polls and drop-in voice — plus roles, timed mutes, bans with appeals 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.

Coming from another journal

Bring your history with you. Your data stays yours.

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.

1
Export from your current app
Export your trades as a CSV file from TradeZella, TraderSync, Tradervue, TradesViz, Edgewonk or Trademetria.
2
Upload the file
There is an import preset for each of these apps. Symbol, direction, prices, size, P&L, setup and notes are matched automatically. If a column does not match, you assign it once by hand, and the preset remembers it.
3
Review before importing
The import check shows duplicates, missing stops and timezone problems before any trade is saved. Nothing is imported until you confirm.
Where are your trades now?
Create your free account and the import opens with the right preset and the export steps for that app.

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.

You can take all of your data with you
Your journal belongs to you. You can export everything, at any time.
  • Full backup as JSON — journal, playbooks, goals, psychology log and settings in one file.
  • CSV, PDF and Notion — every trade as a spreadsheet, a printable report, or pages in your own Notion workspace.
  • Read-only API — load your own numbers into your own tools.
  • Delete everything — your account and your synced journal data, in the settings, in one step.

Who builds this

Built by a trader, not a marketing team

Jason Ziborius
Founder · trades forex, CFDs, futures and prop challenges

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.

Try Pro free for 7 days
Bring a friend, get a month free
Every account gets a personal invite link. Your friend pays 10 % less for their first month, and once that payment goes through you get a full month of Pro — as billing credit if you subscribe, as extra time if you do not. No cap on how many. Applies to the monthly plan, and the reward lands on the first payment, not on sign-up.
Founding traders

Help build it. Get Pro for three months.

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.

  • You get three months of Pro, free — every feature, no card.
  • You give four weeks of real trading in it and honest written feedback on what works and what does not.
  • If you allow it, we may publish your review — always marked as coming from someone who received Pro for free.
  • Twenty places, chosen by hand. We reply to every application.
Questions

Questions before you sign up

Which brokers and platforms can I connect?

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.

Can Evidence place, change or close trades?

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.

Is there a free plan?

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.

What does Pro cost?

$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).

How does the trial work?

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.

How do I cancel a subscription?

In the app, or with “Verträge hier kündigen” (cancel contracts here) at the bottom of this page, which works without signing in.

I already use another trading journal. Can I import my trade history?

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.

Who can see my journal?

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.

Can I work with a coach in Evidence?

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.

Is there a mobile app?

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.

Does the AI make numbers up?

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.

Which markets can I replay?

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.

How is Evidence different from TradeZella or TraderSync?

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.

Trust & Safety

Security & data privacy

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.

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.
Broker access
What each connection can do
✓cTrader — one Open API permission, used only to read trades, balance and symbol data
✓MetaTrader 5 — the investor password, which MetaTrader itself limits to reading
✓Binance & Bybit — read-only API keys; a key that can trade or withdraw is refused
✓Trackers — MT5, ATAS, Quantower and TradingView send fills one way, into your journal
✗Placing, changing or closing an order — there is no code for it
✗Funds, transfers or payment methods — never accessible
Data handling
What happens to your data
✓Your journal sits in a document only your account can read
✓Processed only by the services named below, for the job named there
✓Passwords, keys and tokens stored encrypted, never written to a log
✓Disconnect cTrader or MT5 and the stored credentials are deleted
✗Selling data, ad tracking or pooling data across accounts — never

Where your data lives — and how it is encrypted

Concrete answers, not "bank-grade security". Every claim below is also 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 of AES-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.
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
Every connection reads; none can trade. There is no order-execution code in the product. Disconnect cTrader or MT5, or switch off background sync, and the stored token or password 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; the Gemini API behind every AI feature, only when you use one; page translation), GitHub (website delivery), Cloudflare (workers and the tunnel to our MT5 server in Germany), Render (cTrader bridge), Stripe (payments), Resend (email), Dukascopy & Twelve Data (price data, no personal data sent), jsDelivr & Google Fonts (page assets). 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.
