Release Notes

Everything new, improved, and fixed in FreeTradeJournal.

v2.99.0Latest
Improved

Clearer emails, fewer getting-started reminders and easier-to-read weekly results.

Improvements

  • Emails that feel like your journal

    Welcome messages, account updates and weekly recaps now have clearer headings, useful product screenshots and layouts that fit your phone. Getting-started reminders focus on adding your trades and finding help, with a follow-up to review a trade once you have started.

  • Weekly results keep currencies separate

v2.98.0
Improved

Profit Factor gets its own card in the Trade Log, and follows your filters.

Improvements

  • Profit Factor has its own card

    Profit Factor used to sit in small print under Avg R:R. It is now a card of its own, with the money won and lost for the trades shown, and it is in the summary on phones too. Filter to a month or a setup and the figure follows.

v2.97.0
NewImproved

Insights show hold time, trading costs and ranked ideas; the sessions widget and Trade Log stat cards get a refresh.

New features

  • Hold time: winners versus losers

    See how long you typically stay in a winning trade against a losing one, and your P&L by hold time from under five minutes to over a day. If you sit in losers longer than winners, it says so.

  • Cost of trading

    Your results before and after commissions, fees and swap, the cost per trade, what share of your profit the broker took, and how many trades made money before costs and lost after them.

Improvements

  • Actionable Ideas rebuilt around what is costing you

    Ideas now start from the money you are losing, ranked biggest first with the figure at stake on each one: losers held longer than winners, trades that only paid fees, the trade straight after a loss, busy days, a losing weekday, symbol, strategy, hour or side. Each is one fact and one change. Mark any as not relevant and it stays out of the way.

  • Market Sessions widget redesigned

    Four rows now: Asia, London, New York and CME futures, the same four the Time of Day chart uses. Each row shows that market's own clock and a countdown to its open or close, on phones too. Open sessions fill solid green. On weekends it shows Monday's hours instead of empty bars.

  • Trade Log stat cards show a picture of the number

  • Insights wait for enough trades before they speak

v2.96.3
ImprovedFixed

No more duplicate starter account, and clearer import messages.

Improvements

  • Empty exports get a plain answer

    Importing a file that has a header row but no trades now tells you exactly that, instead of opening the column mapper. Check the account or date range you exported and try again.

Fixes

  • Your first account no longer comes with a spare

    Setting up your first account used to leave a second "Main Account" placeholder next to it. Now the account you create during setup is the only one, which also frees up your second account slot on the free plan.

  • Leftover placeholder accounts are removed

  • Dropping a file on the import dialog no longer imports it twice

v2.96.2
Improved

A shorter, simpler feedback form.

Improvements

  • Feedback form redesigned

    Pick bug, feature or general from one row instead of three big cards, so the whole form fits on screen. Same stars, message box and reply option as before.
