Trading journal for cTrader: capture your trades cleanly
cTrader is a popular platform for forex and CFDs with strong charting tools. What it does not replace is an honest discipline journal. With FlowTrader you capture your behaviour and see whether you really trade according to plan.
Four steps from cTrader to your journal
Export your trade history in cTrader
cTrader gives you a trade history that you can export. That gathers your executed trades with instrument, direction, entry and exit, and the result in one place.
Review the data
Go through your exported trades and choose the period you want to review. These facts are the basis of your journal.
Document in FlowTrader
Enter your trades in FlowTrader and add what the platform cannot know: your planned setup, whether you stuck to it, and your state of mind in the moment.
Review with the Discipline Score
FlowTrader rates your behaviour instead of just your result, and the AI Coach spots patterns across many trades that you would otherwise miss.
Why a journal makes sense for cTrader traders
More than charts
cTrader is strong at charting and execution. FlowTrader adds the layer that is missing there: the honest review of your behaviour.
Discipline made visible
The Discipline Score makes it measurable whether you stick to your rules, instead of measuring yourself only by the last result.
Recognise patterns
The AI Coach surfaces recurring mistakes that stay invisible in single forex or CFD trades and only become visible across many entries.
Risk in view
Because forex and CFDs are leveraged, disciplined behaviour tracking matters especially. That is exactly what FlowTrader is built for.
Common questions about cTrader and FlowTrader
Can I bring my cTrader trades into FlowTrader?
cTrader lets you export your trade history. You transfer that data into FlowTrader and add your setup and state of mind there. FlowTrader puts the focus on disciplined documenting and reviewing, not on a pure data transfer.
Why do I need a journal alongside cTrader?
cTrader helps you analyse the charts and execute. A discipline journal helps you analyse your own behaviour: whether you stuck to the plan and which patterns cost you. This layer is in no trading platform.
Is FlowTrader suitable for forex and CFD trading?
Yes. FlowTrader documents your trades regardless of the instrument and puts the focus on discipline, risk and behaviour. With leveraged products like forex and CFDs, this focus is especially valuable, because undisciplined trading gets expensive faster there.
