Ten trades before lunch
Every fill, stop move and close lands as it happens, so a busy session is journaled by the time it ends.
Built for day traders · early access soon
Every trade confesses.
The day trading journal that writes itself straight from MetaTrader, guards your rules through every session, and shows you, in pips, points or R, exactly where your edge lives and where it leaks.

Built for day traders
Made for the way you trade the day.
Swing traders can journal on Sunday. Day traders take a dozen decisions a session and need the journal to keep up. And you measure it your way: in pips or points, in R, or as a percentage.
17:00
New York rollover
Sessions, not calendar days
Your trading day rolls over at the forex close, the CME close, midnight UTC or your prop firm's reset, so every stat matches the session you traded.
3 → STOP
losses in a row
Intraday rules, enforced
Stop after three losses, a daily drawdown limit, a maximum trade count: warned on the approach, red the moment one breaks.

your best 15 minutes
Find your hour
Results by time of day in 5, 15 or 60 minute buckets, so you know when to trade and when to walk away.
Everything a serious day trader needs
Stop guessing. Start knowing.
Your P&L tells you what happened today. Candle Confessional tells you why, and stops you repeating it tomorrow.
Auto-journaling
Your terminal writes the journal.
Connect MetaTrader once. Every fill, stop move, target change and close lands in your journal the moment it happens. No spreadsheets, no copy-paste, no trade forgotten.

Trade Guardian
A guardian that won't let you tilt.
Set limits on losing streaks, drawdown and trade count, and targets in points, R or %. It warns you on the approach and turns red the moment you break a rule, and a breach stays on the record.

How it's different
Built for the trading, not the typing.
A day trader can take ten trades before lunch. So every decision in Candle Confessional starts with one question: does this make journaling faster? The less time you spend recording trades, the more you spend on the trading itself, and on the analysis before and after it.
The usual journal
- Retype symbol, entry, stop and target after every trade
- Screenshot, save, find the file, upload it
- Work out points and R by hand, and hope you got them right
- Tag the setup later, from memory
- Skipped on the days you were tired, tilted or late
- Find out you broke your rules at the weekly review, not in the moment
- Guess what the market offered after you closed the trade
- Build a spreadsheet to work out which setup or hour actually pays
- Rebuild the day from screenshots before you can post it to your group
Candle Confessional
- LIVE Never type a trade in again. Every fill, stop move and close is already there, straight from MetaTrader 4
- Copy Your plan is captured the moment you've drawn it. Copy the TradingView Position tool: no forms, no retyping levels
- Paste Charts land on the right trade in one keystroke. No save, no hunting for files, no upload dialogs
- PTS Numbers you can trust. Points and R come straight from the price levels, never from mental maths
- VWAP Tag a trade while it's still fresh, in the time it takes to type one line
- STOP Know you're breaking a rule while there's still time to stop, not at Sunday's review
- MFE See what every trade offered you, and what you left on the table, without lifting a finger
- EDGE Your best setup, hour and weekday, already worked out. No spreadsheet required
- SHARE Your whole session, ready to post to Discord in one click
A journal you actually keep, because keeping it costs you seconds.
-
Before
Plan the session
Paste the trade plan straight from TradingView and answer your checklist for each timeframe. Your time goes on the analysis, not the admin.
-
During
Trade the session
The journal fills itself from MetaTrader while the Guardian watches your loss streak, drawdown and trade count.
-
After
Review the session
Every trade from the session is already there, in points and R, with what the market offered you. Spend the review finding your edge, not rebuilding the day.
Setup is once: drop the publisher into MetaTrader 4 and point it at your account.
Beta tester program
Help build it. Pay less for it.
We're opening Candle Confessional to a small, hand-picked group of day traders first. Beta testers trade with it before anyone else, shape what it becomes, and keep a founding price when we launch.
- 01 First inBeta builds before anyone else, on your own trades.
- 02 A real sayYour feedback decides what gets built next, and in what order.
- 03 Founding price, locked inA cheaper rate when we launch, kept for as long as you stay.
What we ask in return: use it on real trades, and tell us honestly what works and what breaks.
Apply for the beta
Places are limited, so applying doesn't guarantee a spot. Once you confirm your address, we'll email you four quick questions. The beta is part of our early access list, so applying also signs you up for our emails, and unsubscribing withdraws your application.
“The market doesn't care about your feelings. Your journal should care even less.”
