What is a crypto trading journal?
A coin-level record with size, fees, optional leverage, and a note — so 24/7 P&L is reviewed by coin and setup, not only on the exchange balance screen.

Crypto trading journal for coins and exchanges
BTC and alts on a 24/7 calendar, with leverage on the trade when you use it — then fee drag and overtrading show up in coin reports instead of in an exchange CSV pile.

What is a crypto trading journal?
A crypto trading journal is the book that sits next to the exchange: coin, size, optional leverage, fees, and a note on narrative or funding — so 24/7 sessions have a review, not just a balance. TradeReview logs crypto by hand on Free (including leverage), accepts Alpaca, Webull, cTrader, TradingView paper, MT4/MT5, and generic CSV on paid plans, and Auto Syncs Alpaca or cTrader on Pro. It is not a Binance, Coinbase, or Bybit connector yet.
What a crypto journal has to survive
Leverage on the trade, not in a comment
When you size a leveraged position, the field is on the fill so later stats are not “spot BTC” mixed with 10x by accident.
The connectors that actually exist
Alpaca and cTrader Auto Sync on Pro; Webull, TradingView paper, MT4/MT5, and generic CSV on Basic and Pro. If your venue is only on Binance or Bybit, type or CSV — do not expect a fake sync.
Fee drag by coin
Net P&L after fees, then symbol reports so a high-turnover alt is not hiding behind one BTC winner.
A calendar that does not assume cash hours
24/7 sessions: weekend dumps, Sunday gaps, and the hours you overtrade after funding prints.
Narrative and funding as tags
ETF-flow days, unlocks, funding squeezes — fills do not record those. Tags and notebook notes do.
Crypto next to stocks or FX, on purpose
Same journal if you rotate. Filter when you want a coin-only review so an equity day does not flatten BTC stats.
How it works
Import what we actually connect
Auto Sync Alpaca or cTrader on Pro, or upload Webull / TradingView paper / generic CSV on Basic. Everything else — including most coin exchanges — is still typed, with leverage if you used it.
Tag the coin and the story
Breakout versus range versus narrative. BTC and a low-cap alt should not share a nameless bucket in the same report.
Find the hour you overtrade
24/7 day/time and symbol reports show fee drag, late-session revenge size, and leverage that only looks fine on the exchange screen.
What you need for crypto, by plan
Typing coins — including leverage — is free. You pay for Alpaca/cTrader sync or CSV, not for a Binance API we do not have.

Crypto journal questions
Do you sync Binance, Coinbase, or Bybit?
Not today. Crypto import is Alpaca and cTrader Auto Sync (Pro), plus Webull, TradingView paper, MT4/MT5, and generic CSV on paid plans. See supported brokers. Other venues are manual or CSV until a connector exists.
Can I journal spot crypto next to stocks?
Yes. Keep them in one journal and filter when you want a crypto-only review.
Is there a free crypto trading journal?
Manual crypto logging — including leverage — is free. File import is Basic/Pro; Auto Sync is Pro. See pricing.
Why not stay in a spreadsheet for crypto?
Fee columns, leverage, and a market that never closes break most sheets. A journal keeps notes on the trade and calculates win rate and drawdown after import.
