The problem it solves

Typing every trade into a spreadsheet after the fact is tedious enough that you skip it half the time, which makes it hard to actually learn from your trading history. You want a fast way to capture a trade the moment you make it.

Who it fits

Individual traders and prop traders who want a fast, hands-free trading journal.

How it works

  1. You send a message describing your trade to your Telegram bot
  2. AI extracts the asset, entry price, stop loss, take profit, direction, and notes
  3. The trade is logged in Google Sheets with a unique trade ID
  4. You send a follow-up message with that ID to add profit, loss, or notes later
  5. Your journal updates automatically with the closing details
What you get

A trading journal you never fill out yourself

You text your trade details to a bot and watch your personal trading journal fill itself in.

What you get

A running Google Sheets trading journal with entry and outcome details for every trade.

What you need

A Telegram bot and a Google Sheets account, plus an AI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
