The real problem

Most traders don't know why a trade worked

You blame the strategy, the markets, your broker, or your discipline. But the real story is in your trade history and the market events around it — where you can't easily see it.

  • You don't know what moved the market

    Was it skill or a Fed announcement you didn't notice? Without the context, you can't tell a good decision from a lucky one.

  • A strong win rate that collapses after fees

    Your raw win rate might look great. After commissions and spread, the real number can tell a very different story.

  • One pair quietly draining your month

    A single instrument you keep trading badly can wipe out the edge you've built everywhere else.

  • Emotion-driven trades you can't spot

    The trades you take on FOMO or to "win it back" are often the ones doing the most damage — and they hide in plain sight.

  • Hours lost to spreadsheets

    Manual journals are tedious, easy to abandon, and never tell you what was happening in the market at the time.

  • Your best setup buried in your own data

    The strategy that actually makes you money may be hidden under everything else you trade. Most traders never find it.

You can't improve what you don't understand. Tradelytic's AI reads every trade in the context of the market that moved it.

AI built in

The first journal that explains your trades back to you

Most journals just store your trades. Tradelytic's AI tells you what was happening in the market — and whether your decision actually matched it.

AI Trade Analysis

Every trade, analysed in real market context

For each trade, Tradelytic gathers what was actually happening in the market — central-bank decisions, inflation and employment data, and major news — then reviews your entry, timing, hold time and risk against it.

  • A plain-English summary of the market context
  • Tags describing your trade style and discipline
  • The key factor that moved price (e.g. "Fed rate hike")
  • For open trades, what to watch next

TRADE #4081 · LONG EUR/USD

AI ANALYSIS

Entry was placed shortly after the ECB held rates steady, with inflation data supporting near-term euro strength. The position aligned with the prevailing trend and was closed before the New York session added volatility.

  • trend-following
  • disciplined entry
  • news-aware
  • 2.1R
Key factor ECB inflation outlook → EUR strength

News AI Analysis

One headline. Every market it touches.

Drop in a single news event — a rate decision, an inflation print, geopolitical tension — and the AI tells you what it means across the pairs you trade. A Fed cut doesn't just move USD; it moves EUR/USD, GBP/USD and XAU/USD too.

  • Positive, negative or neutral sentiment per pair
  • A short summary of the main takeaway
  • See how one event ripples across markets at once

NEWS IMPACT

  • GBP/USD NEGATIVE
  • USD/JPY POSITIVE
  • XAU/USD NEUTRAL

Multi-News Sentiment

The whole news flow, scored 1–10

Instead of reacting to one headline, Tradelytic combines the recent news for a pair into a single, balanced view — and condenses it into a StrengthScore so you can judge tone and intensity at a glance.

  • A 3–5 sentence professional summary
  • A StrengthScore from 1 (very weak) to 10 (very strong)
  • Both 24-hour and 7-day views, so you see momentum

EUR · 7-DAY OUTLOOK

AI SUMMARY

The recent flow leans moderately bullish for the euro. Several reports point to firmer inflation and steady ECB guidance, though softer growth data adds some caution. On balance, news supports near-term EUR strength.

StrengthScore (EUR) 7 / 10

The full toolkit

Everything in one place

Beyond the AI, Tradelytic is a complete journal — auto-sync, deep reports, journaling, and a full backtesting studio.

  • Automatic sync

    Connect MT5 once and your trades sync every night at midnight. Manual MT4/MT5/.xlsx import is there when you need it.

  • AI trade & news analysis

    Every trade explained in market context, plus AI sentiment on the news driving the pairs you trade.

  • Journaling that asks the right questions

    A guided questionnaire captures sentiment, strategy, confluence and risk — then feeds your reports automatically.

  • Reports & real metrics

    Win rate after fees, profit factor, R multiples, drawdown, psychology, risk and strategy dashboards — not vibes.

  • Backtesting & chart replay

    Test strategies on real historical data with a TradingView chart. Step through candles, place trades, and replay bar by bar.

  • Trading calendar & multiple accounts

    See winning and losing days at a glance, and track unlimited trading accounts in one connected hub.

Security

Safe to connect.
Impossible to withdraw.

Tradelytic connects to MetaTrader using read-only investor access. It can see your trade history and statistics — and nothing else.

  • Read-only MetaTrader access — we use the investor login, not your master password.

  • Cannot place trades on your account, ever.

  • Cannot withdraw or move funds — the access simply doesn't allow it.

  • Imports trade history and statistics only — your trades, fills, and performance data.

  • Private by default — you choose if and what you ever share.

  • Disconnect anytime — remove access in one click whenever you want.

Read-only investor access

Here's exactly what the connection can and can't do.

  • View trade history Allowed
  • Read account statistics Allowed
  • Place or close trades Blocked
  • Withdraw or move funds Blocked

Honest fit

Is Tradelytic right for you?

We'd rather you know before you sign up. Here's who gets the most out of Tradelytic — and who doesn't.

Tradelytic is for

  • Forex traders using MT4 or MT5
  • Prop-firm traders tracking discipline and rules
  • Traders who overtrade and want to see the cost
  • Anyone paying for a journal but barely using it
  • Traders who want AI-backed insight, not spreadsheets

Tradelytic is not for

  • Traders looking for buy/sell signals
  • Anyone expecting guaranteed profits
  • People unwilling to review their own behaviour

Tradelytic is a journaling and analytics tool. Its AI explains and contextualises your trading — it doesn't tell you what to trade or predict the future.

No catch

How is Tradelytic free?

Tradelytic is free because we monetise through optional broker, prop-firm and education partnerships — not by charging traders for journaling. Your journal, AI tools and reports stay free, and you choose whether to explore any partner offers.

Optional partnerships

We earn from broker, prop-firm and education partners — only if you choose to explore them.

No charge for the product

Journaling, dashboards, reports and the AI tools stay free for early users — that's the core product.

Your choice, always

Partner offers are entirely optional. Use Tradelytic purely as a journal and never see a thing you didn't ask for.

Word from traders

Traders who finally understood their data

Honest feedback from forex and prop-firm traders who journal with Tradelytic.

The AI analysis pointed out my best trades all lined up with scheduled news in the trend. I had no idea that was my edge until I saw it written out.

DM Daniel M. Forex day trader · UK

I imported 400+ MT5 trades in one go. The news sentiment tool is genuinely useful before the London open — and it costs me nothing.

PR Priya R. Prop-firm trader · UAE

I backtested a scalping idea on real data with the chart replay before risking my funded account. Caught the flaw in an afternoon instead of blowing a challenge.

Frequently asked questions

Still wondering about something? These are the questions traders ask us most.

Why Is It Free?

We run limited, clearly labeled sponsored placements in our Broker Reviews section to help cover costs – they never affect a broker’s trust score, which is calculated only from verified trader reviews.

How Do I Add My MetaTrader Account?

Once you create your account, you will be prompted to add your MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5 account, this will be the details that your broker provided to you, type these details in, along with your server name and then login.

Does It Work With MT5?

Yes, we now support both MT4 and MT5!

Is my Data Secure?

Yes – Your details are extremely safe, Also remember these details are not your broker login details so its pointless in someone even trying to attempt to hack these, as they could never withdraw funds with just our MetaTrader details.
