GOOD QUESTIONS

Before your first entry.

What can I use right now?

The beta includes a private trading journal, week/month/year calendars, goals, session reviews, portfolio tracking, CSV imports, and the supported connections. All current features are free during beta.

How do I create an account?

Select Start free and sign in with ChatGPT. Your journal is tied to your account. Other members cannot view your trades, notes, balances, or connections.

Which brokers and crypto accounts can I connect?

Connect Kraken with dedicated read-only API credentials for asset balances and up to 50 recent executions. Track a public Bitcoin address, import supported Topstep futures CSVs (MNQ, MES, and MGC), or send completed USD trades through your personal import API. Other brokers need a compatible bridge or manual entry.

Does everything sync automatically?

Kraken and Bitcoin connections support manual refresh and an optional refresh every five minutes while the Connections tab is open. Your personal import API can receive completed trades from your own bridge or script. Background syncing while the app is closed is not currently available.

Will importing trades update my account balance?

After you record a confirmed balance and its date, BDF Journal estimates changes from later closed trades in your journal. Deposits, withdrawals, missing trades, and open positions can make it differ from your broker. Kraken and Bitcoin snapshots are separate from your journal balance.

When will the paid plans start?

Pro and Connected are planned launch tiers. Checkout is not open and you will not be charged during beta. Final features and subscription terms will be shown before you choose a paid plan. Starting the beta does not enroll you in a subscription.

Can I take my data with me?

Yes. Export your journal backup or trade records from Data & method. You can disconnect providers, revoke import tokens, and delete your BDF Journal data from Connections.
