Most journals ask you for a lot and give very little back. This update is about the other direction: you log a trade, and your own history tells you something useful right away. Here is what changed through September 24, 2026.

Feedback the moment you save a trade
When you save a trade, the confirmation now includes up to three short observations about that trade, drawn only from your own journal. It is plain arithmetic on your history, so it shows up right away and never makes anything up. When nothing stands out, you just see "Trade saved."
A line only appears when there is enough history behind it:
- Your biggest win or largest loss so far, or in the last 30 days
- A run of three or more wins or losses in a row
- A trade opened within 30 minutes of a losing exit, with your record on trades like that once there are enough of them
- Holding time against your average winner or loser, after at least five similar trades
- Size against your usual size on that instrument, after at least five trades on it
- Your record on that instrument, that setup, or that hour of the day
- How many trades you have taken that day and where you stand
Futures contracts are grouped by product, so NQZ6 and NQH7 both count toward NQ. A trade copied to several accounts counts once. On a phone the card shows two lines so it stays compact.
What your data says, at the top of Analytics
Pro members now see a short card at the top of the Analytics overview with three findings for the period you picked:
- Biggest leak: the group of trades that cost you the most
- Best edge: the group that made you the most
- Watch: one habit worth watching, such as trades opened soon after a loss, holding losers longer than winners, or an average loss much larger than your average win
Groups are hour of day, day of the week, instrument, setup, and long or short, and each one needs at least five closed trades. The card stays hidden until you have ten closed trades in the period, so it never guesses. If you hide balances, the findings show wins, losses and win rate without dollar amounts.
Custom setups with rules (Pro)
The setup list used to be fixed, and every trade marked Custom ended up in one pile you could not analyze. Pro members can now build their own setups.
- Pick + New setup from the Setup field when you log a trade, on the web or in the app
- Give it a name and, if you want, up to five rules that make it valid, such as "Reclaims a key level on a 5 minute close"
- Save it, and it is selected on that trade and shows up in every setup picker from then on
When a setup has rules, a small Rules followed checklist appears under it while you log. It starts collapsed and is optional, so logging stays fast. Tick what you actually did.
The new Setups page is where you manage all of it. Edit or rename a setup, and past trades and plans that used the old name follow the new one. Archive setups you have stopped trading and restore them later. Turn off built-in setups you never use so your pickers stay short. Past trades are not changed.
The same page shows how each setup performs, all time: trades, win rate, total, average win and loss, and the hour it works best once there are enough trades. For setups with rules, it compares trades where you met every rule against trades where you skipped one. That comparison is the honest answer to "am I trading my own playbook," and it only counts trades where you ticked the rules.
Plans link to the contract you actually traded
Plans in the Pre-Trade Planner name a product, and trades name a contract. Before, a plan for MNQ never matched a trade on MNQZ6. Now the match understands futures:
- A plan for MNQ matches MNQZ6, MNQZ26, MNQZ and /MNQZ5
- Micro and mini contracts on the same product match each other, such as MNQ and NQ, MES and ES, or MGC and GC
- The closest match wins: the exact contract first, then the same product, then its micro or mini sibling
This powers the "You have a plan" prompt when you log a trade or use Snap Trade. CSV imports now link trades to plans too. Each imported trade links to an unlinked plan in the same direction that you made within the 24 hours before its entry, and each plan links to one trade.
Ollie gets to the point
Ollie, the AI coach for Pro members, answers differently now:
- The answer comes first, in one sentence
- Then up to three short points, each backed by a number from your journal
- Then one next step when there is a useful one
When your data is thin, such as a few trades with no setup tags, Ollie gives its best read from what is there and asks for at most one small thing, instead of listing what is missing. It can also comment on your own habits, like sizing, holding time, time of day or trading right after a loss, and it can read your custom setups and their results.
What has not changed: Ollie never recommends a trade, an entry, an exit or a ticker, and never predicts the market. For more on how it works, read Meet Ollie, your AI coach.
Try it
Log your next trade and read the card that comes back. If you are on Pro, open Setups and turn your most common trade into a setup with two or three rules, then check it again after a week of trading. New to TradeDeck? Start free on the web or in the iOS app.
