What Strebell does differently
Your whole trading day, not just your trades
Strebell starts before the open with a day journal and trade plans, and ends with a weekly review and a plan for the new week, including news, earnings and your own appointments.
Your feeling, captured in the moment
You log a trade while you take it, so how you felt is real, not reconstructed afterwards. That's why Strebell deliberately doesn't import trades.
Discipline you can measure
After every trade you review whether you followed your plan, separately from the result, and your own trading rules trigger alerts.
Private by default, in four languages
Your data is stored in the EU and nobody looks inside your journal without your permission. Strebell is available in English, Dutch, Spanish and German.
Where TradeZella is the better choice
TradeZella connects to more than 500 brokers and prop firms and combines journaling with backtesting and AI. If you want one tool for importing, replaying and backtesting, it covers more ground. Its higher plans go up to $99 per month.
Switching from TradeZella
Strebell doesn't import your TradeZella history. That's deliberate: analyses are only meaningful when every field, including how you felt, was filled in at the moment itself.
Our advice: keep your TradeZella export for reference and start fresh in Strebell. Within a few weeks you'll see what your plan, your feeling and your timing are worth.
