TradingGrove turns your trade history into trading analytics you can act on: an equity curve, strategy breakdowns, an hour heatmap and mood tracking. See exactly where you make money, where you lose it, and what to change next. No spreadsheets, no formulas.

A spreadsheet can hold your numbers, but it will never tell you which hours drain your account, which setup deserves more size, or how your mood shows up in your results. A proper trade journal does. Here is what your own history can answer.
Every trader knows tilt exists. Very few know what it costs them per month. Tag each trade with how you felt and the Mood vs Performance chart puts a number on it. Once revenge trades have a dollar figure attached, they get much harder to justify.
Mood vs Performance chartMorning trader or night owl, your results are not evenly spread across the day. The hour heatmap breaks your average PNL down by time of day, so you can stop giving back your best session's profit during your worst one.
Hour Performance heatmapThe setup you trade most is not always the one that pays. Comparing strategies side by side, with wins, losses and total result, shows where your edge really is. Some traders discover their favourite setup has been subsidised by a boring one for months.
Strategy PNL breakdownWin rate alone says very little. Your equity curve shows the shape of your trading: how deep the drawdowns go, how you recover, and whether a few oversized losses keep undoing weeks of discipline. That shape is where risk management problems show up first.
Equity Curve and drawdown viewSix tools that cover the full loop: plan the session, log the trades, review the results.
Stop reconstructing trades from memory. Capture pair, direction, strategy, timeframe, PNL, R-multiple, confidence and mood in seconds, then filter and search the lot when you need answers.
CoreThe cheapest trade to fix is the one you never take. Set your bias, check the news and run through your rules before the first entry, then reflect when the session closes.
DisciplineFind your edge instead of guessing at it. Equity curve, strategy PNL, mood vs performance, hour and day-of-week breakdowns, Long vs Short and most-traded pairs, computed for you on every trade you log.
InsightsSee your month the way your account does: green days, red days and the streaks between them. Click any day to open the trades behind it and find out what actually happened.
VisualYour chart at entry is evidence your memory will rewrite. Paste screenshots straight from your clipboard, add notes with autosave, and review past setups exactly as you saw them.
Pro · Unlimited ImagesPosition sizing decided before the trade, not after. Enter account size, entry and stop loss to get your position size, risk amount and R:R while the setup is still forming.
RiskThe demo below shows six months from a disciplined trader: 86 losses against 61 wins, and still up $6,480. Not because of a high win rate, but because the average winner made 2.7R while the average loser was cut at 1R. This is the story good trading analytics should tell.
Which setup actually earns the money? Here, Break & Retest and FVG carry the account while scalping quietly loses $1,120. That is a strategy to cut or fix, and without a journal it hides inside the total.
Losing more often than you win is normal in trading. This account loses 58.5% of the time and still profits, because winners average 2.7R against 1R losers. Expectancy pays the bills, not win rate.
When do you trade at your best? For this trader the London and New York morning overlap pays, and the mid-afternoon chop takes it back. Two hours less screen time, more profit kept.
Seven losses in a row happened here, and the account survived because every one of them was capped at 1R. A streak view tells you whether your sizing can outlive your worst run.
Do your emotions show up in your PNL? Here every dollar of profit came from calm or focused sessions, while tired and frustrated trading cost $1,060. That is trading psychology as a number instead of a feeling.
Are all your pairs pulling their weight? Thirty trades on XRP and DOGE returned minus $810 here. The breakdown shows which markets deserve your risk and which are just habit.
Nine red days, eight green ones, and the month still closed up $1,230. Two well-managed winners paid for every losing day. Zoomed out like this, a rough week stops feeling like a broken system.
Am I actually improving? The curve answers what no single stat can: the April drawdown stayed inside 8.7%, recovery took three weeks, and the trend kept its shape. That is a system working, losses included.

"Three months in and I finally know my real win rate. It was not what I thought, lol. Wish I had started logging from my first trade."
"I trade the London open. The day-of-week breakdown showed Fridays were eating close to a third of my monthly profit, and my own notes told me why: I was forcing trades before the weekend. I cut Fridays entirely and my equity curve smoothed out within two months. No coach ever spotted that. My journal did."
"After a red trade I used to jump straight back in. Seeing 'frustrated' tagged next to my worst losses week after week made it impossible to ignore. New rule: two losses and the laptop closes. Boring, but my drawdowns are about half what they were."
"I lose six trades out of ten and still end the month green. The stats keep me honest about which setups earn that math and which ones just feel good to take."
"My notes used to live in three apps and a paper notebook. With entries, screenshots and the plan in one place, my weekend review actually happens now. Position sizing mistakes dropped once I started seeing them every Sunday."
"I work full time and trade maybe two hours a night. The hour heatmap showed my second hour was consistently negative. I was overtrading just to feel productive. One hour a night now. Fewer trades, better month."
