What TradeBench does for your trading
TradeBench gives you a structured process for every trade: plan it before you enter, manage it while it’s open, and review it after you close. Each step uses your personal risk parameters to calculate exactly how much to invest and risk.
Over 100,000 traders worldwide have signed up for TradeBench to use it as their trading journal and trading diary – to document trades, spot patterns in their results, and make better decisions. The tools support stocks, futures, forex, crypto, and CFDs across any exchange and with any broker. Explore all features.
All features are free. No paid plans, no credit card, no upsells. Learn how we keep it free.
How traders use TradeBench
Plan before you trade – Enter your setup, stop loss, and target. TradeBench calculates your position size, risk amount, and reward/risk ratio automatically. Customizable checklists help you confirm your criteria are met before every entry. See how our position sizing tool works.
Compare setups side by side – Watching multiple opportunities? Add them to the comparison table and sort by reward/risk ratio or your personal rating. When you’re ready to trade, transfer to a full trade plan with one click.
Track open trades in real time – See all your positions in one dashboard with live prices, unrealized P&L, what-if calculations, and TradingView charts. Supports scaling in/out and both long and short positions.
Review and learn from closed trades – Go back to any trade in your journal, paste chart screenshots directly from TradingView, and write notes on what worked and what didn’t. The best insights come weeks after closing, when the emotions have settled.
Run reports to find your edge – Filter your results by strategy, instrument type, label, time period, or long vs. short. See profit factor, win rate, average P&L, hold time, and more. Double down on what makes you money.
How we stay 100% free
No paid tiers, no credit card input, and no upsell waiting for you upon signup. Every tool in TradeBench is free for every trader and has been so since 2011.
Here is exactly how that works: TradeBench is funded by sponsors. In return for unlimited use of the journal and all the tools, all we ask is that you click one sponsor link a month. We show it to you when you log in and send it in an email – maximum one email a month, always from us as we never share your email address anyone. If you would rather not receive that email, you can delete your account and opt out at any time.
That is whole entire deal and how our full-featured trading journal – the kind competitors charge a monthly subscription for – has stayed completely free for over a decade.
Why traders have trusted TradeBench since 2011
TradeBench was built by a trader, for traders.
After an investment fund lost 80% of the capital invested in it by our founder during the 2008 financial crisis, he set out to learn to trade and recover it himself.
He discovered that consistent results come from trade planning, disciplined risk management, and honestly documenting every trade and reviewing it after the fact.
As no existing trading tool did all of that in one place, he built TradeBench in 2011.
