Tradervue
The category's oldest journal, 81 supported brokers, and a free tier that still works.
Best for traders of US equities and options, or whitelisted futures, who upload broker files and want every trade charted with its entries and exits; not for crypto traders, or anyone wanting a mobile app or automatic IBKR or Schwab sync.

What it is
A journal you feed with fills. Tradervue imports executions, merges them into logical trades, draws the price chart for each one with your entries and exits marked, and then reports on the result: by symbol, by time of day, by tag, by MFE/MAE, by liquidity. It has been online since 2011, which makes it the oldest product in this category still being sold; Greg Reinacker built it, and SureSwift Capital announced its acquisition in March 2021.
Pricing
Silver is $29.95/month and Gold $49.95/month. There is no annual discount — the pricing page shows a monthly figure and nothing else, which is rarer than it should be.
The free plan is real but barely advertised: it is missing from the pricing page entirely, which shows two tiers and a two-column comparison table. The vendor calls it Basic, and you choose it at signup as the alternative to a 7-day trial of Silver or Gold. The pricing page says a trial bills your card when it ends unless you switch to the free plan first; the signup page, checked on 3 October 2026, says it falls back to Free. Switch before day seven either way. It allows importing 30 trades per calendar month — trades, not executions, so tens of thousands of fills merged into fewer than 30 positions still fit. CSV export is withheld from it.
Gold's dividing line is commissions: net P&L, exit analysis, risk reporting and liquidity reports are all Gold. Silver already has futures, forex, options and every report.
Data & coverage
Equities and options are US-listed only. Forex is all active pairs. Futures are a published whitelist, contract by contract — CME and Cboe, Montreal, Eurex, Euronext, ICE Europe and the Brazilian BMF (Ibovespa and Mini Ibovespa) — and anything not on it has to be requested. No spot crypto; CME and Cboe bitcoin futures are whitelisted.
Integrations
The supported-brokers table lists 81 brokers and platforms plus a generic importer row. Five of the 81 are ticked in its "Automated" column: CMEG, DAS Trader Pro, PropReports, SpeedTrader, and NinjaTrader, which is footnoted as automated through a third-party plugin. Everything else — IBKR, Schwab, Fidelity, Tastyworks, Webull, Tradovate, thinkorswim — is export a file, upload the file.
There is a REST API with HTTP Basic auth that reads and writes trades, executions, journal entries and comments.
Limitations
- "Broker Sync" is sold on both paid tiers, but only five entries in the vendor's own table are marked automated. Assume file upload unless your broker is one of those five.
- The broker list is padded with the dead: Scottrade, OptionsXpress, TradeMonster, MB Trading, SureTrader, TD Ameritrade. Count the live ones before quoting the total. The vendor's own figures do not agree either: the brokers page's meta description says "over 200+", the journal-template page's title says "307+", and the table itself has 81 rows.
- No mobile app, no crypto, no trade replay, no AI review — all of which newer journals sell.
- Vendor pages disagree on the free quota: the help centre's quota article says 30 trades a calendar month; marketing pages say 100.
- The public API changelog runs from 2013 to August 2016, then jumps to a single entry dated 4 March 2025; the docs repo's last commit is July 2025. It works; it is not being developed.
Alternatives
TradeZella and TraderSync are the modern comparison — replay, auto-sync and AI review at a higher price. Edgewonk is one plan at $197 a year with every feature included. TradeNote is the open-source one you can run yourself with Docker, if keeping trades off somebody else's server matters more than auto-sync. Tradervue is the one to pick when the broker list and the report depth matter more than the interface.

Head to head
- Tradervue vs TraderSync vs TradeZella: your broker chooses before the price does — Each one syncs a different short list of brokers, and the three entry prices buy different things. Which broker you use usually settles it.

FAQ
Does Tradervue still have a free plan in 2026?
Yes. The pricing page no longer shows it — only Silver and Gold appear there — but the vendor calls it the Basic plan and you choose it at signup, as the alternative to a 7-day trial of Silver or Gold. The vendor's own pages disagree on whether the trial ends on a charge. The pricing page says your card is charged when it ends unless you switch to the free plan first, while the signup page says the trial falls back to Free. The quota page says free accounts can import 30 trades per calendar month, counted as merged trades rather than executions. CSV export is Silver and Gold only.
Which brokers import into Tradervue automatically?
Five rows are ticked in the Automated column of the vendor's table - CMEG, DAS Trader Pro, PropReports, SpeedTrader and NinjaTrader - and the NinjaTrader tick carries a footnote saying that automation comes from a third-party plugin, Journal Lync. Every other broker on the list, Interactive Brokers and Schwab included, is a manual export-and-upload of a file.
Does Tradervue support crypto?
No. Supported products are US equities and options, all active forex pairs, and futures from a fixed whitelist; CME and Cboe bitcoin futures are on that whitelist, but spot crypto is not supported anywhere in the product.
What does Gold add over Silver?
Five things, per the comparison table - commission and fee support, exit analysis, risk tracking and reporting, advanced filters and liquidity reports - plus 5 GB of image storage instead of 1 GB. Everything else, including futures, forex, options, mentoring and the 100+ reports, is already in Silver.
