Highlights

- Trading dashboard: track performance and patterns at a glance.
- Prop challenges: track evaluation and funded phases, drawdown, daily loss, profit targets, and payout rules, with firm profiles to set them up.

- Trade Import: backend-powered imports for CSV, spreadsheets, HTML, and broker statements.
- Trade Sync: automatic trade sync for supported brokers.
Important disclosures
- Local-first core: core journaling works offline and stores your notes and trades inside your Obsidian vault.
- Account required for full access: a Journalit account is required for authentication-backed and subscription-gated features.
- Paid features: a paid Pro subscription is required for Trade Sync, committing Trade Imports, the Economic Calendar, and prefilled prop-firm profiles. Signed-in free users can analyse and preview Trade Import files.
- Network use: Journalit checks public GitHub release metadata for updates by default without sending vault or account data. Signed-in features may use Journalit services; MT4 sync uses managed FTP, and currency conversion may use a third-party exchange-rate service. See PRIVACY.md.
- Trade Import processing: analyse/preview sends your selected file and import options to Journalit. Server-side encrypted diagnostic captures expire after one day for free accounts or 14 days for Pro accounts; stored previews expire after seven days. Compatibility guidance is returned in those responses and displayed locally, with no separate client failure-report upload. See PRIVACY.md.
- Other network diagnostics: existing Tradovate Sync code sends client synchronization diagnostic events as disclosed in PRIVACY.md; this is separate from Trade Import. Upgrade buttons open journalit.co only when clicked, carrying fixed campaign parameters (no identifiers) for server-side attribution.
- Source available, proprietary license: the plugin is proprietary software with reviewable source.
- Privacy details: see PRIVACY.md for data handling, retention, and infrastructure details.
