Monday **Fills sync in** On Plus or Pro, every fill arrives verified with its costs 2. Tuesday **Tag the setup** Setup, session and pattern, on the trade itself 3. Wednesday **Read it in R** Size differences stop hiding which setup pays 4. Thursday **Net, not gross** The broker’s own commission and swap ride along 5. Friday **Replay the stop-out** Bar by bar, then move the stop and see, on Pro How it works 1. **Sync or import** On Plus and Pro, a read-only MT4 or MT5 login fills the log on its own. Or export from your platform and drop the CSV in. 2. **Tag the setup** Three tags on a trade covers setup, session and pattern. Tagging is what makes a hundred trades readable. 3. **Read it in R** Each trade carries its R multiple, so size differences stop hiding which setup actually pays. Volume ## A log that holds a real scalping week. Partials, scale-ins and stop moves arrive the way the server saw them, so the numbers are not a reconstruction from memory two days later. - Unlimited trades on every plan - Partials and scale-ins matched to the position - Orders matched to the fill they became Costs ## Commission and swap ride along with the fill. A scalper lives or dies on costs. Synced trades carry the broker's own commission and swap, so the net R is the one on your statement rather than the gross one that flatters you. - Costs read from the broker, not estimated - Net R on the trade and in every breakdown - Per-lot commission set once in the backtester Tags ## A hundred trades, sorted by what they were. Tag the setup and the record stops being a list and starts being an argument. Filter to one tag and the win rate, expectancy and drawdown recompute for it alone. - 15 custom tags on free, unlimited on Plus and Pro - Up to three tags on any one trade - Filter every stat by tag on Plus and Pro Replay ## Watch the one that stopped you out. Open a trade and the chart rewinds to the entry and plays forward bar by bar, with your levels drawn where they were. Then move the stop and see what the same trade would have paid. - Bar by bar, at the speed you choose - What-if exits tested against the tape - Pro feature, on our own charts What is free ## Log and tag for free, and sync one account that is not MT4 or MT5.

FAQ ### Can it handle thirty or forty trades a day? Yes. Trades are unlimited on every plan. The part that does not scale is typing them, which is what broker sync is for. ### How do I get a day of scalps in without typing? Connect an MT4 or MT5 account read-only on Plus or Pro and fills arrive on their own. On free you can import a CSV, 50 trades at a time. ### Are commission and swap included? On synced trades, yes: they come from the broker with the fill and are part of the net result. On a trade you type or import, you enter the cost yourself. ### How many tags do I get? 15 custom tags on the free plan, with up to three on any single trade. Plus and Pro remove both caps. ### Is there a written method for scalping? The Scalper and Day Trader playbook is free to read at /playbook/scalper-playbook. It covers entries, management, when to stop for the day and how to review a high-volume record. ## Sync a week and sort it by setup. Free to log and tag, and one account syncs free. MT4 and MT5 sync starts on Plus.
