Stonk Journal

Stonk Journal is a free web-based trading journal built for retail traders who want a clean, capable journaling experience without subscriptions, ads, or data monetization. The platform launched as a personal project and has grown to thousands of users who rely on it daily to log and review their trades across multiple asset classes.

The platform centers on fast trade entry with rich metadata: each trade entry supports tags, a confidence meter, image attachments, and freeform notes. Trade setups automatically calculate Risk/Reward ratios, helping traders maintain strategy consistency before entering a position. Setups can be converted into live trades with a single click, streamlining the pre-trade and post-trade workflow.

Performance analytics are a core strength. Stonk Journal generates charts visualizing trade executions alongside actionable statistics including win rate, profit factor, average winner, and average loser. Multiple accounts and portfolios can be maintained simultaneously, making it easy to segregate strategies, brokers, or asset classes without mixing data.

The primary trade-off for being entirely free is the lack of broker integration or automatic trade import—all trades must be entered manually. Stonk Journal sustains itself through voluntary user donations and maintains an educational blog covering trading psychology, journaling best practices, and risk management concepts. For traders seeking a zero-cost, privacy-respecting alternative to premium journaling tools, Stonk Journal delivers a surprisingly complete feature set.
