Features
Everything a journal should do. Then the part that makes you better.
Capture, review and understand are table stakes. Improve is the product.
01
Capture
Import in seconds, from the platforms futures traders actually use. Every extra click kills the habit, so there are none.
Platform imports
TradingView, NinjaTrader, MotiveWave, Sierra Chart, Tradovate, Rithmic, Quantower, TopstepX, ATAS, Interactive Brokers, thinkorswim. Parsers handle triple-logged fills, scaled prices and missing commissions.
Position reconstruction
Fills become round-trip trades: scaling in and out, direction flips, per-contract point values.
Safe re-imports
Dedup by fill identity per account. Import the same file twice and nothing doubles.
Multi-account
Live, sim, eval, funded. Per-account and combined views, account assignment at import.
Manual entry
A fast form for unsupported platforms, options and stocks. Per-format commission defaults.
Column mapper
Any CSV. Map the columns once and Actal saves it as your own format.
02
Review
One screen for the whole trade. Keyboard-first so a power user reviews ten trades in five minutes.
Discipline grade A to F
Grade the process on every trade. Best and worst lists rank grade first, P&L second, everywhere.
Mistakes with cost
Free text with autocomplete from your history. Every mistake accumulates a running dollar cost.
Chart annotation
Paste a screenshot, draw on it. Drawings stay as editable vectors.
Rich notes with time tags
Bold, italic, color, @now timestamps. Drafts auto-save so nothing typed is ever lost.
Review queue and streaks
Unreviewed trades wait in a queue with a badge. Consecutive reviewed days build a streak.
Premarket and daily review
Plan A/B/C scenarios before the open, close them out after. Multi-market, PDF export.
03
Understand
The full stats engine, in service of the verdict rather than instead of it.
Core and advanced stats
Expectancy, payoff, Kelly, breakeven win rate, SQN, per-trade Sharpe, max drawdown, streaks.
Clean vs mistake trades
What your trading looks like with the mistakes removed. The gap is your upside.
Time and hold analysis
Hour of day, day of week, hold time for winners versus losers, long versus short.
Calendar P&L
Month grid with daily coloring, average grade per day, and day tags.
Monthly review
Stats, reflection, goals, and best/worst trades ranked grade-first.
Trade list
Every trade in a fast, filterable table. Bulk tag, grade, assign, delete. Thousands of rows, no lag.
04
Improve
The part no other journal has. It consumes everything above and hands back an opinion.
Insights
Plain-language findings with evidence and cost: rule breaks, hold-time leaks, time-of-day drops, expensive mistakes, dangerous wins.
Weekly focus
One measurable target picked every Monday, tracked all week, verdict on Friday.
Execution score
One number for the week: grades, mistake-free trades, risk rules kept, plans filed and followed. The dashboard leads with it.
Risk rules
Daily loss limit, max trades, cooldowns, trading window and more, checked against every trade. Stopping at a limit counts as kept.
Plan vs reality
How often your A scenario hits, and how often you traded against your own plan.
Sharing and public cards
Invite a mentor as viewer or commenter, hide dollars. Share one trade as a card that unfurls on X and Discord.
