Built an AI layer into my trading journal, here’s what actually helped after 2 months
Quick context, I trade DAX40 mostly, indices and forex on liquidity sweeps, MSS and BPR. I built a journaling platform for myself last year because I was tired of Notion templates and bloated tools, ended up opening it up and now there's a small community using it.
The last few weeks I rolled out some AI features and honestly some of them changed how I review trades, so wanted to share what works and what doesn't from a trader perspective, not a product one.
What I added:
AI verdict per trade. After you close a trade and log it (entry, SL, TP, screenshots, notes), an AI gives you a verdict. Was it actually a valid setup, did you respect your rules, did you size correctly. Sounds gimmicky but when you log 30+ trades a month it catches the pattern of "I keep entering before candle close on Tuesdays" way faster than I would.
Coach profile. You define your own strategy (mine is liquidity + MSS + BPR + candle close confirmation), risk rules, instruments, and the coach updates as you log more trades. So the verdict isn't generic, it's against YOUR rules, not some ICT bro checklist.
AI chat with full access to your trades. This is the one I use the most. I can ask stuff like "show me all my losing DAX trades in London session where I entered before candle close" and it actually answers with the data. No more scrolling through 200 entries.
Analytics with confluence breakdowns. Best/worst confluences, profitability per setup combo, session performance, the usual but cross referenced. Found out my BPR + sweep combo is 68% win rate, BPR alone is 41%. Wouldn't have caught that manually.
Not a pitch, more curious if other people here use AI in their journaling or still old school spreadsheet. The verdict thing is what surprised me the most, brutal honesty when you ask for it.
Platform is TradingSFX if anyone wants to check, has a free tier. Happy to answer questions about how the AI is set up or how I trained the coach on my own methodology.
