StonkJournal
A free manual-entry trade journal with no trade cap; $10 adds file import and an AI coach.
Best for stock and options traders who log trades by hand and want unlimited trades and accounts for nothing, with multi-leg options grouped correctly; not for anyone who needs live broker sync or price charts.

What it is
A web trade journal built around fast manual entry. You log a trade — or each execution of a multi-leg options position — and Stonk Journal keeps the fills attached to the parent trade, blends entry and exit prices, applies the contract multiplier and reports one realised P&L for the whole structure. On top sit filters by symbol, market, tags, P&L range, dates and rule-compliance, an equity curve, a P&L calendar, and risk-management rules that give every trade a weighted compliance score against limits you set: daily loss, drawdown, position size.
It runs as an offline-first progressive web app — installable on a phone or desktop, syncing when you are back online. It is operated by one person, Yevgeniy Vygodner, doing business as StonkJournal in Wisconsin; the site dates the product to 2021, and the current app is a second version with a migration path from the first.
Pricing
Two plans. Free is $0 with no trade or account limits and no trial period. Pro is $10 a month and adds three things: Smart Import of broker files, the AI Coach and AI Chat, and an aggregated dashboard across accounts. The site shows no annual price, and the terms say only that the billing interval is shown at purchase. Stripe handles payment, and fees already charged are non-refundable except where the law says otherwise.
Data & coverage
Stocks, options, futures and forex, each with its contract multiplier, per the vendor's FAQ; the pricing table also lists crypto and indices. There is no market data at all: the product does not quote prices, so open positions are not marked to market and there is no price chart of a trade. Export is CSV or Excel, from account settings.
Integrations
None live. Pro's Smart Import takes an exported file — Schwab, Fidelity, E*TRADE, Webull, Robinhood and Interactive Brokers are named, plus any custom format you map yourself — and asks you to confirm the mapping and check duplicates before the trades land. The vendor is unusually plain that this is not broker sync, and that broker-specific guides will appear only after each export format has been tested; on 7 October 2026 there were none.
The AI features send the relevant part of your journal to OpenAI or Anthropic per request, through defined tools rather than the whole database. Hosting is on Supabase.
Limitations
- Free has no import at all. A year of history from a broker means typing it in or paying for Pro.
- No live broker sync, no API, no webhooks, and no published per-broker import guide.
- No price charts, replay or market data, so MAE/MFE and open-trade P&L against the market are not available.
- A one-person operation. That is not a defect, but the support target is "within 24 hours" and the terms promise neither uptime nor error-free calculations.
- The site's own copy is not consistent about markets: the pricing table lists crypto and indices, the FAQ answer lists stocks, options, futures and forex.
Alternatives
Tradervue has a free plan too, with import but a 30-trade monthly cap — the opposite trade-off. TradesViz's free plan imports up to 3,000 executions a month and charts them, but for stocks only. TradeNote is free and self-hosted if you would rather the journal ran on your own machine. For auto-sync and replay, TradeZella and TraderSync are the step up, at several times the price.

FAQ
Is Stonk Journal really free?
The Free plan has no trade cap, no account cap, no trial clock and no card on file, and covers stocks, options, futures and forex with stats, a P&L calendar and risk rules. What it lacks is import — every trade on Free is typed in by hand. Pro, at $10 a month, adds file import, the AI coach and a combined view across accounts.
Does Stonk Journal sync with my broker?
No. The vendor's integrations page says it supports file-based import rather than live broker synchronization, and that broker sync is on the roadmap. On Pro you export a file from your broker, upload it, check the column mapping and confirm the trades.
Which brokers can I import from?
The pricing copy names Schwab, Fidelity, E*TRADE, Webull, Robinhood and Interactive Brokers, plus a custom format with column mapping. The vendor says broker-specific pages will only be published once each export format has been tested, and none has been published yet.
Does the AI coach give trade ideas?
No. It reads only your own journal through defined queries, has no market data feed, and the vendor states it does not predict prices or recommend trades. Requests go to OpenAI or Anthropic per question, and the vendor says trade data is not used to train a model.
