SignalDeck is building this alongside serious traders. Active beta testers who join Discord and provide product feedback — bug reports, feature requests, honest opinions — receive Founder Status: a free-for-life subscription to the entire platform, including all Pro and Team features, even after we transition to paid pricing.
After beta, SignalDeck will move to a freemium model: a limited free tier (20 trades/month), Pro ($19/mo), and Team ($29/mo). Founders never pay — ever.
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 — 15+ 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.
After beta, SignalDeck will offer a limited free tier (20 trades/month), a Pro tier ($19/mo) with full backtester and analytics, and a Team tier ($29/mo) with the Borg social layer. Active beta testers who provide feedback receive Founder Status — free for life with unlimited trades and all future features, no exceptions.
Yes. MT4/MT5 import via MetaApi is fully included during beta. Trades import automatically — fills, P&L, symbol, volume, execution price, no manual entry. Live account balance syncs in real time for accurate Kelly Criterion sizing. Stop loss still requires manual entry after import for R-Multiple calculation (MetaApi fills don't carry order-level SL/TP data).
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). MT4 and MT5 accounts connect via MetaApi for automatic import. No other free trading journal supports forex at this depth.
