Built by a trader, for traders who want to grow

Why I built Strebell
I started building Strebell a year and a half ago, because I couldn't find a system that had everything in one place: from planning my trades to logging them and preparing a new week.
I wanted checklists per strategy and a playbook every trade has to meet before I'm allowed to take it. I wanted to plan every week ahead: look up earnings, keep an eye on economic meetings and shape my trading day around them. Know when to trade and when not to.
Spreadsheets couldn't connect the dots. Notion took ages to set up and still didn't quite work. Other trading journals focused on what happens after the trade, almost never on planning it. So I built it myself.
What my own journal taught me
I found out I have several strategies that work, but only at certain times of the day, around certain events or on certain tickers and markets.
“Once I knew when I'm at my best, my losses got smaller and my wins got bigger.”
What Strebell stands for
Calm
Your week is planned and your day has a fixed structure. No more improvising.
Honest
You capture real data and real feelings in the moment. That gives you an honest picture, even when it isn't pretty.
Professional
Real connections and insights you wouldn't see yourself, without building spreadsheets.
What we promise
- If you fill everything in consistently, you'll gain insight into your trading.
- You'll build discipline, and that can only help your results.
- We won't make things look better than they are.
What we never promise
- That you'll become profitable.
- Signals, tips or financial advice.
- Good insights from bad data. If you fool yourself in your journal, you get a distorted picture back.
What does Strebell mean?
Strebell comes from the Dutch word ‘streven’: to strive. You strive for perfection in your trading career: in your trades, your mindset and your discipline. You'll never be perfect, but you can be one step better every day.
Your journal stays yours
Your trades, plans and feelings are personal. Your data is stored in the EU, analyses run inside your own account without external AI, and support only looks in when you allow it.
How we protect your dataWhat we're working on
