Forex trading journal

Your MT4, MT5 and cTrader trades, journalled for you.

Connect the broker once. Every closed trade arrives on its own, priced in the account's own currency, with pips, lots and swap already worked out — and grouped by the session you were actually trading in.

No credit card required

Pip value worked out per pair, not assumed

Most journals apply one pip rule to everything and quietly mis-state your results on anything that is not a four-decimal major. SureInsight derives the value from the instrument, so a JPY cross and a gold position are each priced the way the broker priced them.

Standard pairs

EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD — pip is the fourth decimal.

JPY pairs

USDJPY, EURJPY — pip is the second decimal, and the value moves with the rate.

Metals through a forex broker

XAUUSD and XAGUSD priced per ounce, not treated as a currency pair.

Indices on an FX account

US30, GER40 and similar CFDs priced per index point.

Which session is actually paying you?

Forex is the one market where the clock changes the instrument. The same pair behaves differently at 02:00 and 14:00, and most traders make their money in a narrower window than they think. Your trades are grouped by session automatically — no tagging.

Sydney
22:00 – 07:00 UTCThin liquidity. Ranges hold more often than they break.
Tokyo
00:00 – 09:00 UTCJPY crosses lead. AUD and NZD follow the data.
London
07:00 – 16:00 UTCThe largest share of daily volume. Most false breaks, too.
New York
12:00 – 21:00 UTCOverlaps London for four hours — the widest ranges of the day.

Connected once, then left alone

MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and cTrader sync automatically — closed positions appear without an export. Everything else imports from the broker's own CSV or HTML statement, including the 30-plus formats we already recognise.

  • Broker-local timestamps stored correctly, so a trade does not drift a day
  • Swap and commission kept separate from gross P&L
  • Re-syncing will not duplicate a position you already have
  • Deposits and withdrawals recorded, not counted as trades

Questions forex traders ask

Does it connect to MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5?

Yes. MT4, MT5 and cTrader sync automatically once connected — closed trades arrive without you exporting anything. Any other broker can be imported from a CSV or HTML statement.

Does it calculate pips and lot sizes correctly?

Yes. Pip value is derived per pair rather than assumed, including JPY pairs where the pip is the second decimal, and metals and indices quoted through a forex broker.

Can I see which trading session I perform best in?

Yes. Trades are grouped by London, New York, Tokyo and Sydney sessions, and by the overlap hours, so you can compare results by the hours you actually trade.

Is the forex journal free?

There is a free tier that stays free. Pro adds broker auto-sync, AI coaching and backtesting from $7.50 a month billed annually.
