Forex Trading Journal
Stax is a complete trading journal and analytics suite — and its deep stats work for any market you trade, forex included. Fee-inclusive Net Risk / Net R:R, a Hyper Edge finder, Time Analysis heatmaps, and a Full Report of 100+ metrics come standard, whatever the instrument.
And it has exactly what forex needs. The costs that actually decide a trade — spread, overnight swap, and commission — are summed automatically into your Net R:R, so the result you see is the real one, not the gross. Anything else you want on a trade, you can add as a custom column.
So if you trade forex, Stax fits — come in and use it. Bring your trades in with auto-sync or a file import, and start free and fully local.

Forex journal — FAQ
Which forex brokers can I connect?
Most major forex brokers work — popular ones auto-sync your trades automatically, and any other broker imports by file, with manual entry always available. See the full list of supported brokers on the Connections page.
Does Stax account for spread, swap, and commission?
Yes — it's the core idea. Spread, overnight swap, and commission are netted into every result, so your Net Risk and Net R:R reflect what you actually kept after costs, not a gross number that flatters your edge. A 3R setup is measured after the broker and the financing took their cut.
Can Stax help with prop-firm challenges?
Yes. The Prop Firm Calculator reads your real trades and tracks drawdown, daily-loss limits, and profit targets for prop-firm evaluations and funded accounts, so you can see how much room you have before a breach. It's a planning and tracking tool, not connected order management.
Is there a free version, and is my data private?
Yes. Stax is free to start and runs fully local by default, so your trade data stays on your machine — no credit card. Paid plans automatically sync your trades from your brokers (plus cloud backup) and come with a 30-day trial. It's a native desktop app for macOS and Windows.
