Keep the trading journal and analytics you expect — then add what classic review tools don't have: a free no-signup simulator, XP, ranks and daily missions, and AI chart grading. Plus a genuinely free tier.
Established journals like Tradervue are excellent at what they were built for: structured trade review, tagging, and after-the-fact analysis. If detailed retrospective reporting is all you need, they're solid. But many traders find that reviewing the same mistakes week after week doesn't actually break the habit — the data is there, the change isn't.
Level Up Trader is built around behavior change. It still logs and analyzes your trades, but the daily loop is designed to reinforce discipline: pick a loadout, complete missions, earn XP, level up, and climb the ranks. You also get a free simulator for deliberate practice and AI chart grading that scores any setup before you take it — all on top of a free tier.
Unlimited trade logging, dashboard & analytics, cloud sync, paper + live accounts, friends, the leaderboard, 76+ achievements and daily missions — no credit card.
Practice on live-moving candles in seconds with no account. Build reps and test the product before you commit anything.
Daily missions and an XP system across 100 levels and 8 ranks make discipline a game you actually want to win.
Upload a chart and get an A–F grade with a clear take-it or leave-it verdict on structure, setup quality, risk/reward and timing.
