If you found us through a Telegram channel, a Reddit thread, or a comparison article, the first thing you should do is exactly what you're doing now: check whether we're real before you connect anything to your broker account.
This is that page. It's written by the person who built the product, and it includes the parts that don't flatter us — because a page that only lists strengths tells you nothing you couldn't guess.
Who actually runs this
TradeJournal Pro is built and run by me, Islam Ahmed, a solo founder based in Egypt. There is no venture fund behind it, no offshore holding company, and no team of twenty. When you email support, I answer.
That is a genuine trade-off, and I'd rather you weigh it now than discover it later. A one-person company means fast fixes and direct access to the person who wrote the code. It also means no 24/7 support desk and no guarantee I'll still be here in ten years. If that risk is unacceptable for how you trade, that's a completely reasonable conclusion.
What you can verify without trusting me
Claims are cheap. These are checkable:
| Claim | How to verify it yourself |
|---|---|
| The copier actually executes | Sign up free, no card. Post a test signal in your own channel. |
| Channel win rates are real | Open /verify — every outcome is hash-chained and publicly recomputable |
| The service is up | /status shows live health checks of every dependency |
| Pricing is what we say | /pricing lists every tier publicly, no "contact us for a quote" |
| Refunds are real | The refund policy states the terms in writing |
The public outcome ledger is designed to be more inspectable than a screenshot: records are hash-linked and the page recomputes the returned sequence. You can calculate the win rate of the outcomes present and detect changes or gaps inside that chain. It is still not an independent broker audit, an external timestamped anchor, or proof that every source message was captured.
What it costs, plainly
- EA line — Starter $25/month billed monthly or $240/year paid upfront. You run MT4/MT5 on your own PC or VPS.
- Cloud line — Starter $39/month billed monthly or $372/year paid upfront. A supported provider-hosted connection means your own device does not need to stay on; provider fees and availability still apply.
- Desktop line — Starter $35/month billed monthly or $336/year paid upfront. A local app that keeps the Telegram session and terminal bridge on your PC.
- Lifetime — $699 one-time for EA, $999 for Desktop. No recurring fee.
- Free forever: the EA copier on 1 Telegram channel with 12 signals a month on your own MT4/MT5, plus unlimited trade logging, analytics and CSV/PDF export. No card. The Desktop app has a separate one-time 3-day trial, then requires a Desktop plan.
The free EA allowance does not expire. Desktop has a separate one-time 3-day trial with no credit card. Eligible card purchases have the refund terms shown on the current refund policy; crypto payments are excluded. Contact support@tradejournalpro.net if you need help.
Four honest reasons to wait
1. Payment choices are limited. Hosted card checkout currently uses Gumroad, and USDT (TRC20) is also available. Crypto payments are irreversible and are not covered by the card-payment refund policy. If those options do not suit you, waiting for another supported checkout method is reasonable.
2. We're new. The product launched recently. Our Google footprint is thin, third-party reviews are few, and you will not find ten years of forum history about us. Some people are fine being early; many shouldn't be.
3. A copier cannot fix bad signals. If you copy a losing strategy, automation can reproduce those losses. Channel grading and backtesting provide historical context from available records, but paper assumptions can differ from live execution and no software makes an unprofitable strategy profitable.
4. Trading is risky and we are not advisers. We don't sell signals, we don't tell you what to trade, and we're not a broker or a regulated investment firm. You keep your own broker account; we execute the rules you configure on it. Most retail traders lose money. That doesn't change because the execution got better.
What we can and cannot touch
Reasonable question, since you're connecting a trading account.
- Your broker account stays yours. You keep the login. We place trades according to the rules you set, and you can revoke access at any time by removing the EA, closing the desktop app, or disconnecting the cloud account.
- Telegram connects through your own account so private channels can be read. We read messages from the channels you select. We don't send messages as you, and we don't touch your contacts or personal chats.
- We cannot withdraw funds. No copier can. Broker APIs and EAs place and manage orders; they have no withdrawal permission. If any trading tool ever asks for withdrawal rights, that is your signal to walk away immediately.
- Deleting your data is self-service at /data-deletion — not a support ticket we can quietly ignore.
How to check us out properly (30 minutes, zero risk)
- Sign up free. No card. Connect one channel and watch it copy, and log a few past trades to see whether the analytics tell you anything useful.
- Open /verify and look up a channel you already follow. Compare its real numbers to its screenshots. This is often uncomfortable reading.
- Run the copier in paper mode during the trial. Signals execute against simulated fills, so you see exactly what would have happened on your account without a cent at risk.
- Then, and only then, connect a real account — and start with the smallest position size you can.
Anyone who pressures you to skip step 3 is selling something. That includes us.
The bottom line
We're a small, new, verifiable product with public pricing, a real refund policy, and a free tier that doesn't expire. We're also crypto-only for payments this month, young enough to lack a long track record, and completely unable to make a bad signal channel profitable.
If that's an acceptable trade, the trial costs you nothing and needs no card. If it isn't, bookmark the verification tool anyway and use it on whichever channel you're following — it's free, and it works whether or not you ever pay us.
