The end-to-end trading journal Trade. Journal.
Evolve.

1. 01

   You place the order

   Market, limit or stop, from the Trade Ticket. Pick a playbook, and set a trailing stop that arms on fill.

2. 02

   Your rules check it

   Stop-loss required, risk capped against your account balance, tilt-lock after a loss streak, and your playbook's hard rules enforced server-side.

3. 03

   Sent, or blocked and priced

   Allowed orders go to your broker. Blocked ones land in the Shadow Book, tracked to their would-be outcome: "rules saved you $1,240."

• Broker auto-sync

  Open a trade in MT5 — it appears in your journal within minutes: entry, exit, commissions and swaps, chart snapshots at entry and exit. Indian brokers pull the tradebook through the broker API — Zerodha via Kite Connect, plus Dhan, Upstox, Angel One and Fyers; Groww, 5paisa, ICICI Direct, HDFC Securities and Kotak backfill from CSV.

  Zero manual entry

• Trades on real charts

  Every trade replayed on live candles: entry and exit marked, stop-loss and target zones drawn, risk-reward computed. See exactly what you did — and what the market did next.

  Powered by TradingView™ charts

• Prop objectives, live

  Prop-firm-exact daily-loss and max-drawdown tracking with your floating P&L counted in real time. Know your distance to the floor while the trade is still running.

  Breach-proof discipline

• Trade through the gate

  Place market, limit and stop orders from the journal. Every order passes a discipline gate first: stop-loss required, risk capped against your account balance, tilt-lock after a loss streak. Trailing stop on the ticket, armed on fill. The journal that says no when you shouldn't.

  The journal that executes

• SL Integrity Guard

  Widen or delete a stop-loss in MT5 and your phone buzzes in seconds — the move is flagged on your permanent record. Strict mode goes further: the cloud puts your original stop straight back.

  Your stop, made immovable

• The Shadow Book

  Trades the gate blocks — and setups you log as skipped — are tracked against live price to their would-be outcome. Month end, your discipline gets a dollar value: "rules saved you $1,240."

  Proof your rules pay

Execute & protect

• Playbooks, enforced

  Nine starter setups, ICT order blocks to short strangles, with hard and soft rules. Pick one on the ticket; hard rules are enforced server-side before the order reaches the broker. Blocked orders land in the Shadow Book. Each broken rule is priced as edge leak.

  Hard rules enforced. Leaks priced.

• Manage live positions

  Run open MT5 positions from the journal: move to breakeven, partial close by percent, close all, close only the winners or only the losers. Trail any open position from the list. Type your risk percent and the lot size fills the ticket before you commit.

  Stops that only tighten

• What-If Simulator

  Replay your closed trades under the rules you skipped: stop after N losses, daily loss stop, profit lock, no revenge entries, top winners removed to test luck. Original versus simulated P&L, win rate, profit factor, expectancy, max drawdown, equity curves overlaid. Save named scenarios.

  Backtest your own behaviour

• High-impact news alerts

  A morning summary of the day's high-impact releases, then a push ten minutes before each one. Pick the currencies and impact levels you trade; the rest stays quiet. Delivered by the journal's web push to your lockscreen, alongside chat and trade-idea alerts. No extra app.

  Ten minutes' warning. No surprises.

• MTM Guard

  Account-wide day MTM target and stop loss: when hit, every position is squared off. A trailing MTM stop locks a profit floor that only rises. Kill switch closes everything. After a stop, new orders can stay blocked for the day. On your linked MT5 account.

  Target, stop, trail, kill switch

• Trailing stop at entry

  Set the trailing stop on the Trade Ticket itself: distance, step, optional start after +N in your favour. It attaches to the position automatically, even when a limit or stop order fills later. Server-side, it runs with the app closed and only ever tightens.

  Set once. Armed on fill.

Prop-firm challenge toolkit

• The prop rule engine

  Static, trailing and end-of-day trailing drawdown with breakeven lock, consistency rule, minimum profitable days, payout cycle and split, per challenge. Presets for 19 firms, from FTMO and QuantTekel to Topstep; verify on the firm's site. Live board: distance to floor, "safe to make today", breach history, payout-readiness checklist.

  19 firm presets, one engine

• Prop Economics Ledger

  Log every evaluation fee, reset, refund and payout by firm, account size and phase. Then the numbers: ROI, pass rate per firm and size, average days to pass, a failure-reason histogram — daily loss, max drawdown, time, consistency — and your best and worst firm.

  The evaluation grind, costed

• Breach Horizon + Payout Cockpit

  Your live MT5 or cTrader account measured against the challenge's daily-loss and drawdown limits: headroom in dollars and the exact price that would fail the account, with alerts at 50, 75 and 90%. Orders whose stop would breach are refused. Breach Shield can tighten stops at 90%. The cockpit shows how much profit you can still bank today without breaking the consistency rule.

  Know the price that fails you

For Indian traders: Zerodha, F&O tax, results

• Zerodha Kite sync

  Connect Zerodha through Kite Connect and the tradebook flows in: FIFO-paired trades, segment detected, exact Indian charges. History elsewhere? Drop a CSV: Zerodha Console, Groww, 5paisa, ICICI Direct, HDFC Securities and Kotak map automatically; anything else gets a manual column mapper.

  Kite Connect + CSV backfill

• India FY Tax P&L

  April to March, bucketed for your CA: intraday equity as speculative, delivery split STCG/LTCG by holding period, F&O, commodity, currency; foreign, CFD and crypto kept apart. Section 44AB turnover per the ICAI guidance note, audit-threshold indicator, loss carry-forward notes, CA-ready Excel. Informational, not tax advice.

  CA-ready. Not tax advice.

• India Calendar

  RBI decisions, CPI, GDP, IIP, WPI, PMI and trade data with Kalmat's own impact ratings and a ten-minute warning. Results dates for Nifty 50, Nifty Next 50, the F&O list and your symbols; a push with EPS versus estimate within minutes of publication.

  RBI to results, rated right

Market read, graded in public

• Signal scorecard

  Every Market Sentiment rating and every Key Level is recorded and graded bar by bar. Each rating carries its own 30-day record, such as "Buy · 1h · right 50%", next to the share of bars that simply rose. Levels are scored against random price lines. When a signal has no edge, Kalmat says so.

  A track record, not a promise

• You vs sentiment

  Every closed trade is matched to the 1-hour and daily rating at entry. You see win rate and P&L when you traded with it, against it, or with no rating, split by longs and shorts. Learn whether the rating helps you, or whether fading it does.

  Your results against the rating

• Flows & positioning

  For India: FII/DII cash flows, the share of FII index futures that are long, Nifty and Bank Nifty put/call ratio with OI walls and max pain, and India VIX. Beyond it: CFTC positioning extremes, crypto funding and open interest, and a strength meter across the 8 major currencies.

  What indicators can't see

Journal faster, analyse deeper

• Journal in seconds

  A synced fill closes and your phone nudges: journal this. The quick drawer opens — paste a screenshot with Ctrl+V, attach a TradingView snapshot link, record a voice note up to 90 seconds, tap tags and emotion chips. An in-app pill lists every unjournaled fill.

  No trade left unjournaled

• The Day page

  One page per trading day. Pre-market, plan and review notes from templates, mood and energy, tags, autosave. Your intraday cumulative P&L curve and day stats sit beside the words. A 14-day strip with P&L dots and note markers, plus full-text search across everything you wrote.

  Plan. Trade. Review. Repeat.

• Export everything

  One click to CSV or real Excel, every column: Indian charges split six ways, tags, setup, checklist scores, images. A PDF period report: equity by day, top winners and losers, per-symbol, per-weekday. A prop compliance ledger, day by day: daily-loss usage, floor distance, breach flags.

  Your data, never hostage

• MT5, through MetaApi

  Your MT5 account is connected through MetaApi, a cloud bridge for MetaTrader. You type your MT5 password only on MetaApi's secure page — Kalmat never sees or stores it. Connected with the investor password, it can only read your trades. Placing orders, closing positions and restoring a stop need the master password — link that only if you want those features.

• Zerodha and Indian brokers

  For Zerodha you create your own Kite Connect app and save its key; the journal reads your tradebook and cannot place orders there. The app secret and the daily access token are stored encrypted (AES-256-GCM) and are never sent back to your browser. The token expires every morning, so a fresh login is needed each day. CSV imports need no broker access at all.

• Revoke it any time

  Remove a link in Settings and it is deleted from Kalmat's database. You can also cut access at the source: delete the Kite Connect app, or change your MT5 password.

• Your login

  Account passwords are stored only as bcrypt hashes, and a signed-in session expires after seven days. Turn on two-factor sign-in with Google Authenticator or any authenticator app, get an email when a new device signs in, and log out every other device in one tap.
