RizeTrade vs StonkJournal

Both RizeTrade and StonkJournal help traders record trades, review performance and identify patterns in their trading.

The biggest difference starts before the analysis even begins.

StonkJournal currently relies on manual trade entry or CSV imports.

RizeTrade can automatically sync trades from supported brokers, prop firms and trading platforms.

That means your trading journal can stay updated without manually entering trades or exporting another CSV after every session.

Choose StonkJournal if you want a capable free journal and don't mind entering or importing your trades yourself.

Choose RizeTrade if you want your trades automatically synced and a more structured workflow for analysing discipline and execution.

Stop Manually Updating Your Trading Journal

Let your broker keep RizeTrade updated

A trading journal only works if your trades actually make it into it.

With StonkJournal, trades currently need to be entered manually or uploaded from a broker export.

RizeTrade supports automatic broker syncing.

Connect a supported broker or trading platform and let RizeTrade import your executions automatically.

You can still:

  • Upload CSV files
  • Enter trades manually
  • Import historical trades
  • Separate multiple trading accounts
  • Track commissions and fees
  • Use multiple currencies

But you don't need to make importing trades part of your daily routine.

  • Trade first. Review afterwards.
The trades table listing imported fills with entry, exit, net profit and R, its net, gross and R filter alongside

Built for Daily Trade Review

Go from imported trade to useful answer quickly

Once your trades are inside RizeTrade, they automatically feed into the rest of your journal.

Review them through:

  • Historical charts
  • Daily journal
  • P&L calendar
  • Strategy reports
  • Trading playbooks
  • Discipline Tracker
  • Emotion tracking
  • Execution statistics
  • 50+ reports

You don't need to recreate the same information in several places.

The trade becomes the starting point for the entire review.

Strategy Playbooks

Define exactly what your strategy is supposed to look like

Create a playbook for every strategy you trade.

Add the rules that define a valid setup, including:

  • Market conditions
  • Entry criteria
  • Confirmation
  • Risk
  • Stop placement
  • Trade management
  • Exit criteria

Then compare each completed trade against that playbook.

RizeTrade calculates your Playbook Compliance Score so you can see whether you actually followed your strategy.

That separates two completely different problems:

  • The strategy doesn't work.
  • and You didn't follow the strategy.

Track Your Discipline

See which rules you keep breaking

RizeTrade gives discipline its own place in your journal.

Track rules around:

  • Daily loss limits
  • Maximum number of trades
  • Trading times
  • Position risk
  • Setup requirements
  • Stops
  • Trade management
  • Pre-market preparation
  • Daily review

Then monitor whether you're actually following them.

Instead of writing “I need to be more disciplined”, you can see where your discipline broke down and which rules are causing the most problems.

See Your Consistency Over Time

One good day doesn't mean the problem is fixed

Use RizeTrade's Progress Tracker and consistency heat map to review your process across multiple trading days.

See when you consistently followed your rules.

See when your behaviour started slipping.

And compare those periods against your actual trading results.

P&L tells you whether you made money.

Consistency tells you whether you're building a process you can repeat.

Track Trading Emotions

Connect how you felt with how you traded

Record emotions and behaviours alongside individual trades.

Track things such as:

  • FOMO
  • Fear
  • Revenge trading
  • Frustration
  • Boredom
  • Hesitation
  • Overconfidence

Then analyse those trades separately.

You may discover that FOMO trades have worse entries.

Or that revenge trading appears after specific types of losses.

Or that your exit efficiency collapses when you're trading scared.

RizeTrade lets you connect those behaviours with the actual performance of the trade.

Grade Your Trades

Don't let P&L decide whether you traded well

A winning trade can still be poorly executed.

A losing trade can follow your strategy perfectly.

Trade Grade lets you score the quality of the trade independently from its financial result.

That helps you identify which decisions are actually worth repeating rather than rewarding bad behaviour just because one trade happened to make money.

Review Your Trades on the Chart

See every execution in context

Open a completed trade and view it against the historical price chart.

See where you:

  • Entered
  • Added
  • Reduced
  • Exited
  • Set your stop
  • Set your profit target

Review what happened around each execution instead of looking at entry and exit prices in a table.

Combine the chart with your notes, strategy, emotions and rule compliance to understand the complete trade.

Analyse Your Exit Efficiency

Find out what happened after you entered

Good entries can still produce bad results when trade management is poor.

RizeTrade gives you dedicated execution metrics including:

  • MAE
  • MFE
  • R-Multiple
  • Best Exit Analysis
  • Exit Efficiency Score
  • Running P&L
  • Stop loss
  • Profit target
  • Drawdown

Use them to identify whether you consistently:

  • Exit winners too early
  • Give back open profit
  • Hold losers too long
  • Place inefficient stops
  • Manage otherwise good setups poorly
  • That tells you whether the problem is finding the trade or managing it.

50+ Trading Reports

Break down your results automatically

RizeTrade generates more than 50 reports from your imported trades.

Analyse performance by:

  • Date
  • Time
  • Symbol
  • Instrument
  • Strategy
  • Playbook
  • Tags
  • Risk
  • Position size
  • Trade duration
  • Price
  • Quantity
  • Wins and losses

Stack filters when you want to answer a more specific question.

For example:

  • How does this strategy perform before 10:00 AM?
  • What is my win rate when I follow every playbook rule?
  • Which setups have the highest exit efficiency?
  • What happens after two consecutive losing trades?

The point isn't collecting more statistics.

It's finding the pattern that changes what you do next.

Ask Trading Mentor AI

Ask questions about your own trading history

RizeTrade's Trading Mentor AI gives you another way to analyse your journal.

Ask questions such as:

  • “Which rules do I break most often?”
  • “When do I exit winners too early?”
  • “Which emotions appear on my worst trades?”
  • “Which strategy performs best when I follow every rule?”
  • “What happens to my performance later in the trading session?”

Start with the question instead of manually searching through your trading history.
