SignalDeck is building this alongside serious traders. Every feature — Walk-Forward Analysis, Monte Carlo, grid-search optimizer, multi-broker import (IBKR, cTrader, SnapTrade, MT4/MT5), R-value framework, Post Mortem protocol — is fully unlocked at no cost during beta.
Paid plans launch around June 2026: Free (unlimited trades), Pro ($30/mo), Elite ($50/mo). Early beta testers were grandfathered. New accounts join one of these tiers at launch.
Yes — completely. No credit card, no trial period, no feature restrictions. Everything (Walk-Forward Analysis, Monte Carlo, SQN, Kelly, MT4/MT5 import, Post Mortem) is fully unlocked during beta. Active testers who provide feedback receive Founder Status: free access to the entire platform for life, even after beta ends.
SignalDeck during beta is the most analytically complete free trading journal available. No other free option offers Walk-Forward Analysis, 1,000-path Monte Carlo, SQN scoring, Kelly Criterion, and a structured 5-step Post Mortem. TradesViz has a free tier but limits features heavily. TraderSync, TradeZella, and Tradervue charge $30–$80/month with fewer analytics features.
SignalDeck is the only free trading journal with a full strategy backtester — 16 built-in strategies, Walk-Forward Analysis, 1,000-path Monte Carlo simulation, and grid-search parameter optimization across up to 500 combinations. No other trading journal at any price point includes Walk-Forward Analysis and Monte Carlo together.
Billing launches around June 2026: a Free tier (unlimited trades), a Pro tier ($30/mo) with full backtester and analytics, and an Elite tier ($50/mo) with MT4/MT5 import and the Borg social layer. Existing beta testers were grandfathered. Start free now — no credit card required.
All five import methods are included during beta. Four are available on every plan including the post-beta Free tier: IBKR via Flex Web Service, cTrader via OAuth (IC Markets, Pepperstone, FP Markets, FxPro, Fusion Markets + 250 more), SnapTrade aggregator (Robinhood, Schwab, Questrade, Trading 212, DEGIRO + 30 more), and CSV in 8 formats. MT4/MT5 via MetaApi with real-time live balance sync is the Elite plan ($50/mo). During beta all five methods are fully unlocked. See all supported brokers →
SignalDeck supports forex natively and is free during beta. Pip-level precision, lot sizes, session tracking (London/NY/Asia), DXY context, swap fees, R-Multiple in pips, and the full analytics stack (SQN, Kelly Criterion, Post Mortem). Connect via cTrader OAuth (IC Markets, Pepperstone, FP Markets + 250 brokers) or MT4/MT5 via MetaApi for automatic trade import. No other free trading journal supports forex at this depth.
SignalDeck supports ES (E-mini S&P 500), NQ (E-mini Nasdaq-100), CL (Crude Oil), and GC (Gold) futures during beta (currently in early-access Beta). Tick-aligned P&L math, CME Globex session monitoring, and front-month contract search are built in. No other free trading journal includes native futures contract-spec math.
