FREE TRADING JOURNAL

Free Trading Journal for Futures Traders

Aurafy is a free trading journal built for serious review, no card, free forever. Every new account also gets 14 days of full Pro first. Journal every trade, track win rate, P&L, and R-multiples, right in your browser at app.aurafy.dev. Aurafy Pro ($48.88/mo) replaces the ~$103/mo stack of TradeZella + Loom + FX Replay, journal, screen recording, and a bar-replay backtester (the chart is free for everyone) in one tool, ~50% off the stack, with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Why traders can try Aurafy safely

Why another trading journal?

Most trading journals stop at P&L and a few charts. Aurafy helps traders track trades, analyze performance, and review the behavior behind each entry. Free is a real, usable journal, log every trade and see your core stats. Pro ($48.88/month) adds full all-time history, advanced analytics, mistake tracking, screen recording with auto-linked replay, prop firm tracking, and unlimited use of the bar-replay backtester (whose chart is free for everyone).

What's in Free?

Free is a genuine journal, not a teaser, and it never expires: unlimited trade logging via manual entry or CSV import from every supported broker with no cap, the full trade log, core stats (win rate, P&L, expectancy, profit factor), the daily journal with notes, tags and the calendar, and 1 trading account, all in your browser at app.aurafy.dev. Every new account also starts with 14 days of full Pro, no card needed, before settling onto Free. The one limit worth knowing up front: the trade log and stats show your last 12 months, every trade still saves, but the older history and the deeper analytics live in Pro. Pro ($48.88/month, monthly only) unlocks trade auto-sync from the Recorder, screen recording, full all-time history, advanced analytics, mistake tracking, time-of-day breakdowns, unlimited accounts, the setup playbook, prop firm tracking, and the full bar-replay backtester (the chart is free for everyone).

Import from Tradovate and NinjaTrader

CSV import is in Free. Drop your CSV export in and Aurafy pairs buy/sell executions into closed trades, extracts stop prices from order files when present, handles accounting-format fees like $(8.50), and calculates P&L and R-multiples. Works with Tradovate's Orders and Fills CSVs and NinjaTrader 8 executions.

Recording review on Pro

Screen recording is handled by the free standalone Aurafy Recorder app (Mac, Windows, Linux), it records any app with a camera bubble and a ⌘⇧A hotkey, then auto-links each recording to the trades from that session window so the decision context is one click away. Recording review is a Pro feature.

R-multiple and tick-level analytics

Set a stop price and Aurafy computes your risk in dollars, then expresses each outcome as a multiple of that risk. Grouped stats by setup, instrument, time of day, day of week, the usual slicing, but built around R rather than dollar P&L.

Setup playbook (Pro)

Attach reference chart images to each A+ setup, write your rules, and flip through the playbook before every session. Nothing fancy, just a way to keep the high-quality patterns visible. The setup playbook is a Pro feature.

Psychology and mistake tags

Four tag categories: setup, emotion, mistake, custom. Tag every trade in under a second and review the patterns. Most traders find a single emotion, usually FOMO or revenge, accounts for 80% of their red days.

What happens to early users?

On 16 August 2026 Free became a complete but plain journal instead of the whole product with caps, and free history went up from 30 days to 12 months at the same time. Trade auto-sync, screen recording, the setup playbook, the deeper analytics and the backtester wrapper are Pro. Free accounts that already had backtest sessions keep them uncapped, and no trade anyone logged was deleted.

Where do I use it?

Aurafy is a web app, you journal at app.aurafy.dev from any machine with a browser, nothing to install. Your trades live in your account, so the same journal is there whether you sign in from your trading desktop, a laptop, or a phone. Screen recording is handled separately by the free standalone Aurafy Recorder app (Mac, Windows, Linux), which records your session and auto-links each recording to your trades.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get started?
Sign up at app.aurafy.dev and journal right in your browser, nothing to install. Free covers core journaling and stats; Pro unlocks full all-time history, advanced analytics, screen recording, unlimited accounts, and the setup playbook on top.
What does the 12-month limit mean?
On the Free tier, every trade you log is saved permanently, nothing is deleted. The trade log and stats just display your most recent 12 months. Upgrade to Pro to see and analyze your full all-time history.
How many trading accounts can I have on Free?
Free includes 1 trading account. Pro includes unlimited accounts, which is useful if you run separate personal and prop-firm accounts.
Will existing users lose access?
No trade is ever deleted. Accounts from before the limits launched keep the history they had.
Is Aurafy trading education?
No. Aurafy does not teach you how to trade. It helps you track, review, and understand your own trading behavior.
Why $48.88 for Pro?
Most futures traders cobble together TradeZella ($49/mo journal) + Loom ($15/mo screen recorder) + FX Replay ($39/mo backtester) = ~$103/mo. Aurafy Pro bundles the journal, screen recording, and a bar-replay backtester whose chart is free for everyone, for $48.88/month, monthly only, cancel anytime. Same price as TradeZella alone, ~50% off the stack.
What brokers does it support?
Tradovate and NinjaTrader have native auto-import. Any broker that exports a CSV works with the manual mapper. Interactive Brokers, Rithmic, and CQG exports have been tested.
Does it work on Mac and Windows?
Yes, Aurafy runs in any modern browser, so Mac, Windows, and Linux all work the same. There is nothing to install, just open app.aurafy.dev.
Where does my data go?
Your trades are stored in your Aurafy account in encrypted Cloudflare storage. You can export everything to CSV anytime, there is no lock-in, and we never sell your data.
Can I import from TradeZella or TraderSync?
If you can export your trades as CSV, use Aurafy's generic CSV importer. Import a small sample first, map the columns, and confirm the results before moving a full history.
Is there a mobile app?
Not yet. A native mobile app is on the roadmap. Today Aurafy is a web app (app.aurafy.dev); it works in a mobile browser but is built desktop-first.
