Chartself - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

Chartself is a web based trading journal for individual traders across forex, crypto, stocks, and futures. Trade data can be entered four ways: manual entry, CSV import, a natural language AI chat that extracts trade fields automatically, or direct broker sync.

Broker sync currently supports Binance, Kraken, and Luno, pulling trade history in automatically rather than requiring manual entry.

Core functionality includes behavioral pattern detection (revenge trading, FOMO entries, broken risk rules, time of day performance leaks, each with a dollar cost attached), custom risk rules with a live risk score and real time alerts, an analytics dashboard broken down by symbol, setup, time of day, and emotion, a psychology section tracking rule adherence, equity curve and calendar views, a trade playbook for documenting strategies, and weekly AI generated performance reports delivered by email.

On security, AI features use a bring your own key model. Each user supplies their own AI provider API key, which is encrypted at rest, and trade data is never used to train a shared model. Authentication uses httpOnly cookie sessions rather than client accessible tokens.

Higher tier plans add paper trading with a virtual balance for practicing without risk, and a CSV tax report export of closed trades by year.

The platform is browser based with no native desktop or mobile app, and works on any modern browser. Pricing is freemium: a free plan with unlimited trade journaling, a Pro plan adding pattern detection and broker sync, and an Elite plan adding paper trading and tax reports.
