Mind Journal
The trade is only half the story.
Every other journal stops at the chart. Candela journals the trader — sleep, stress, energy, routine — then shows you the state you actually make money in.
- A minute a dayHow you slept, how you felt, what was pulling at your attention. One check-in, and the day is on record.
- Your Mind ScoreFive signals — consistency, sleep, calm, energy and routine — read over 30 days and scored like the rest of your game.
- Mind against marketYour P&L split by how you turned up: rested days beside tired ones, calm beside stressed. The pattern is usually obvious.
Included with Pro.

Journal it properly
The chart before. Your thinking going in. The setup you took. The chart after, and what you'd repeat — or never do again.

Retire the spreadsheet
You've tried Excel. You've tried Notion. Drag the slider — this is what a journal built for trading changes.
No formulas to babysit
P&L, R-multiples and win rates computed for you — nothing to break three weeks in.
Screenshots live with the trade
Before and after charts attached to every position — not lost in a downloads folder.
It talks back
An AI coach that reads your history and shows you your patterns. A spreadsheet never will.

One of my favourite features on Candela is being able to screenshot my chart 1 day, 1 week and 1 month after taking a trade. It makes it really easy to see how price developed after my entry and helps me understand whether my analysis was actually correct. A simple feature, but really useful for improving over time.
I've been trading prop firms and my own account for 5 years and have tried several journaling platforms. Candela stands out because of its psychology features. The AI Coach is incredibly accurate and a great bonus when I need quick insights while journaling.
The Friday pattern was invisible until the calendar put three red weeks in a row in front of me.
