My name is **Janis**. Many know me as **TradeJanis**. For years, my trading felt like one step forward, two steps back. After every session, I'd stare at my charts asking the same frustrating question: *"Why did I really take that trade?"*
I knew the answers were buried in my trading history, but my notes were a chaotic mix of spreadsheets and wishful thinking. I was drowning in data but starved for the clarity I needed to improve. The tools available were either too simple or too complicated, and none of them felt like they were built by someone who actually understood the trader's mindset.
PNLog wasn't a business idea; it was a necessity. It started as my private journal, a tool I coded just for myself to cut through the noise, hold myself accountable, and finally see the patterns in my own psychology. For the first time, I had a mirror reflecting my habits, and it transformed my consistency.
After it made such a difference for me, I shared it with a few other traders. The response was incredible. Their feedback, ideas, and feature requests became my roadmap. While I'm the one behind the curtain writing every line of code, PNLog has been shaped and refined by the real-world experiences of traders from every background. Their insights have been invaluable in making it the tool it is today.
More recently, I’ve integrated AI insights to act as a mentor looking over your shoulder. It analyzes your unique trading patterns to help you spot recurring mistakes—something I personally wished for during my own long nights of analysis.
PNLog was never a pitch-deck idea; it came from late nights at my desk after the market closed, trying to understand my own decisions.
Today I personally write every line of code. PNLog keeps evolving because real traders share what actually moves their performance forward. If you want analytical clarity, rule enforcement, and emotion tracking in one place, I built this platform for you.
My goal is simple: to build the most effective trading journal I can, to help you find clarity and achieve the consistency we're all working for.
