Forex is session-based, pair-specific, and pip-denominated. Logging EURUSD trades in a stock-centric journal loses all of that. Journali speaks FX natively — pip P&L per trade, auto-tagged Asia/London/NY sessions, per-pair analytics, and built-in support for FTMO, FundedNext, and The Trading Pit.
The P&L unit in forex is the pip, not the dollar. Dollar P&L hides everything that matters — whether you made 20 pips on 0.1 lots or 5 pips on 2.0 lots is the difference between a clean trade and a leveraged save. A journal that logs only dollars is a journal that can't distinguish edge from leverage.
The second FX-specific quirk: session structure. A trade taken at 02:00 GMT (Asia) is a completely different animal from a trade taken at 08:00 GMT (London open). The volatility, the pairs that move, the typical range — everything changes per session. A generic journal with no session concept leaves this context unlogged, and the resulting analytics can't tell you which session you should trade.
An FX journal has to think in pips, sessions, and pairs. Dollar P&L is downstream of lot size — useful for the brokerage but misleading for analysis. Journali logs trades natively in pips, auto-tags the session, and breaks every metric down per pair so you can see your real edge at the level it exists.
Every major, minor, and top cross pre-configured with correct pip value per standard lot. Micro (0.01), mini (0.1), and standard (1.0) lot sizes all supported.
Every trade records pips gained/lost alongside dollar P&L. Your equity curve and setup analytics can render in either unit — pips reveal real skill, dollars show the leverage.
Auto-tag as Asia, London, or NY based on entry time. See exactly which session carries your P&L — most traders find their edge lives in one and leaks in another.
Per-pair win rate, expectancy, avg pips, and drawdown. Many traders discover their "forex edge" is really a EUR/USD edge with noise elsewhere.
Standard (1.0), mini (0.1), micro (0.01) lot sizing all first-class. Position-size calculator embeds in the trade-entry flow so risk stays in % of account.
Log per-trade commission and overnight swap/rollover cost. Net P&L after financing costs — essential for anything held past 5pm ET.
FTMO, FundedNext, The Trading Pit rulesets pre-loaded. Daily loss, max drawdown, consistency, and news-trading restrictions tracked live as you log.
FX and prop firm evaluations overlap more than any other asset class. FTMO alone has hundreds of thousands of FX traders running evaluations at any given time. FundedNext and The Trading Pit added to that market. The rulebooks are dense, the daily-loss cutover times vary by firm, and one drawdown breach invalidates the funded account entirely.
Journali's Prop Firm Mode reads your logged trades and simulates each firm's rulebook live. Running an FTMO Challenge and a FundedNext Stellar at the same time? Stack them side by side and watch the live drawdown bars. Never bust on a news-trading restriction you forgot about.
Yes. MT4 and MT5 both auto-sync via SnapTrade's MetaTrader integration — trades flow in without manual export. That said, many forex prop firms require you use their specific MT server, and sync varies per broker configuration. See the Broker Auto-Sync page for details.
JPY pairs have 2 decimal places of quote precision (e.g. USD/JPY at 153.42), so a "pip" in JPY pairs is the 2nd decimal place — versus the 4th decimal place for most other pairs. Journali applies the correct pip definition automatically per pair; you never have to configure it.
Yes. Gold is a common FX-adjacent trade and ships pre-configured with the standard "pip = 0.1" convention most brokers use, plus correct pip value per lot. Silver (XAG/USD) and indices CFDs also supported.
Yes. Prop Firm Mode knows FTMO's high-impact news restrictions and flags trades taken within the 2-minute window before/after listed releases. The alert fires in your journal view — doesn't stop execution on the broker side, but catches the violation before the daily audit does.
Free is capped at 6 trades total — enough to test the UI but not usable for serious FX journaling where 10+ trades per day is common. Pro ($20/mo) removes the limit and adds Prop Firm Mode, calendar, and setup library. Premier ($30/mo) adds AI Coach.
Pips, sessions, pairs, and prop firm rulebooks — all handled natively. Stop forcing FX into a stock-trader's journal.
