Our founder started journaling on paper in 2011, then spent two years building a public Google Sheet to organize every trade and surface statistics—years before TradeJournal.co became an app.
That sheet helped students and mentors review real data together. When manual entry couldn't keep up, we built the platform: same discipline, with automatic imports and analytics.
