    Illustrative interface preview. The figures are sample data, not a live account and not a performance record.

    Instruments covered

    The market punishes guesswork.
    It rewards a review habit.

    SEBI's study found 93% of individual traders lost money in equity F&O between FY22 and FY24 — aggregate losses crossed ₹1.8 lakh crore. The traders who survive treat every loss as data, not destiny. TradeBook turns that data into rules.

    The daily review habit TradeBook is built around.

    Source: SEBI press release, September 2024 (Equity F&O study, FY22–FY24).

    The desk, in full

    Everything that actually runs.

    No teaser features, and no roadmap dressed up as a product. Four pillars, twelve working surfaces, and every real limit written next to the thing it limits.

    01 — Guardrails

    Rules that run before you click, not after you lose.

    Risk Guardian

    Set the daily loss you are willing to take. The desk enforces it for you.

    • 4% drawdown — new entries are blocked
    • 6% drawdown — the trading day is locked
    • Escalating levels, each written to a risk-event log

    Auto-closing open positions is opt-in and ships switched OFF. Nothing exits a trade unless you turn that on yourself.

    Discipline Monitor

    A pre-trade gate. It runs before the trade is written, not in a report next week.

    • Two losses inside 30 minutes triggers a cooling-off
    • Overtrading, size escalation and same-instrument repetition
    • Late-session entry warnings

    It fails open after 4 seconds. If the check is slow or unreachable your trade still saves — it will never eat an entry.

    Auto-Journal

    The review that normally never gets written, written for you.

    • Fires on every close — manual, stop-loss or target
    • Drafts a three-line review of what actually happened
    • Appends it to that day's journal entry

    02 — Indian money maths

    Gross P&L is not money in the bank. This is the difference.

    Indian FY tax report

    Every closed trade classified the way the Income Tax Act classifies it, across an April–March year.

    • STCG at 20% · LTCG at 12.5% with the ₹1.25L exemption tracked
    • Intraday as speculative, F&O and MCX as non-speculative business income
    • Your slab applied, plus 4% health and education cess
    • Turnover reported for the audit threshold

    A planning estimate to take to your CA — not filing advice, and TradeBook says the same thing on the report itself.

    Forensic charges breakdown

    Every trade re-priced through the full Indian cost stack, segment by segment.

    • Brokerage, STT and CTT at the correct per-segment rate
    • Exchange transaction charges and the SEBI turnover fee
    • 18% GST and state stamp duty

    Charges are computed for the analytics view. Trade P&L itself is stored gross, so read the two together.

    Segment intelligence

    Intraday, delivery, futures, options and MCX are first-class, end to end.

    • Separate trailing stop-loss profiles per segment
    • Separate STT rates and separate tax treatment
    • Separate performance rollups, so options do not hide behind equity

    03 — Your edge, measured

    Which setup actually pays, and which one only feels good.

    Playbook

    Tag a setup once. Every trade carrying that tag rolls into its own scorecard.

    • Win rate, expectancy, profit factor, average R:R
    • Sharpe, streaks and month-by-month P&L per strategy
    • Setups compared side by side before you scale one

    A strategy is only marked proven at 3+ trades. Two lucky wins do not get to call themselves an edge.

    Plan versus reality

    The R:R you intended against the R you actually booked — and what the gap costs.

    • Planned vs realised risk-reward on every trade
    • Your biggest plan breaches, ranked
    • A discipline score plus every mistake tag priced in rupees

    Deterministic, no AI key, works offline. It is arithmetic on your own trades, not a model's opinion.

    Risk of ruin

    A real Monte Carlo on your own numbers, not a rule of thumb from a book.

    • 5,000 simulated paths of 500 trades each
    • Driven by your measured win rate and payoff ratio
    • Limitations spelled out in the product, next to the result

    04 — Capture and stay on the market

    Get it recorded while it is fresh. Get told without living in a tab.

    Voice journal, in Indian English

    Talk through the session at 3:31pm. It transcribes live and files itself.

    • Speech recognition set to en-IN, with a live transcript
    • A Hinglish-aware prompt sorts it into plan, outlook, review and lessons

    The one AI feature that needs no API key of your own.

    A position book that admits when it is degraded

    Live prices with a fallback chain that tells you which source it is on.

    • TradingView, then Dhan, then Yahoo — in that order
    • Says "Dhan token expired — using TradingView" out loud

    A stale price shown confidently is worse than no price. This one names its source.

    Telegram desk

    Your own bot, your own channels — TradeBook just routes the message.

    • Multiple chats, groups and channels with per-type routing
    • Quiet hours and message templates
    • A 50-entry delivery log — what went out, and what failed

    Bring your own bot token. Telegram delivery is a Pro feature.

    And the rest of the desk

    Eight more things you will use every week.

    Smaller surfaces, still shipped. None of these are on a roadmap slide.

    Screener

    Screen before the open.

    Live screening across Indian equities with preset scans, a custom filter builder, save-as-preset, and a column chooser so the table shows what you actually trade on.

    Alerts

    Watch levels calmly.

    Seven condition types — price crosses, percent moves, volume spikes, custom rules — chained so one level arms the next. Evaluated while TradeBook is open.

    Local-only mode

    Run it with zero server contact.

    Choose local storage and the whole app runs against your browser's own database. Nothing is uploaded, because nothing is sent.

    Install & offline

    Log it without signal.

    Install TradeBook to your home screen like an app. Entries taken offline queue locally and sync the moment you are back.

    Workspaces

    Separate desks, one login.

    Keep prop capital, personal capital and experiments in their own workspaces so one does not contaminate the other's statistics.

    Share cards

    Post the result, not a screenshot.

    Generate P&L, trade and streak cards carrying your own logo — sized for Telegram, X and Instagram.

    Tag libraries

    Your vocabulary, not ours.

    Build your own pattern, mistake, candlestick and volume tags. The analytics group by whatever language you actually think in.

    Capital ledger

    Measure against real capital.

    Log deposits and withdrawals so returns are computed against the money that was genuinely in the account, not against a number you remember.

    How it works

    From raw trades to a repeatable edge.

    One loop, run daily — capture, diagnose, improve. Everything else on this page exists to serve it.

    Capture

    Log while the context is fresh.

    Setup, screenshot, mood, mistake, and the reason you took it — before the memory rewrites itself.

    Indian segments as first-class fields
    Voice journal in Indian English
    Install as an app, log offline

    Diagnose

    Name the repeat mistake.

    Your own trades, run through arithmetic that does not flatter you — and does not need an AI key.

    Every mistake tag priced in rupees
    Revenge re-entry and loss-streak detection
    Planned vs realised R:R on every trade

    Improve

    Turn the review into a rule.

    Move the finding into a guardrail so the next session enforces it instead of relying on willpower.

    Daily loss limit that blocks new entries
    Cooling-off after two quick losses
    Weekly report delivered to Telegram
    Made in India

    Built for Indian markets

    Unlike generic journals, TradeBook understands Indian market structure — segments, lot sizes, INR formatting, and trading hours.

    • NSE, NFO & MCX instrument coverage
    • INR formatting with Lakhs & Crores
    • Dhan broker auto-sync — brings BSE holdings in too
    • IST market-hours aware

    Why not a spreadsheet

    A journal that speaks rupees, lots and STT.

    A spreadsheet forgets. A journal built for US equities does not know what a lot is, or why your net P&L is smaller than your gross. TradeBook is built around Indian market structure, not translated into it.

    TradeBook

    Comparison describes product categories, not any single named competitor. Global journals differ; check the one you use against these rows before you decide.

    Who it's for

    Four desks. One review habit.

    The same journal, weighted differently depending on how you trade. Here is the part of it you will actually live in.

    The intraday trader

    20 trades a day, and no memory of the first five

    Volume hides the leak. The account bleeds from three repeated behaviours you cannot see while the tape is moving.

    • Discipline Monitor stops the second revenge entry
    • Risk Guardian locks the day at your loss limit
    • Early vs late session win rates, computed for you
    • Auto-Journal writes the review you would have skipped

    The swing trader

    Positions held for candles, not minutes

    Few trades, long gaps, and no way to tell whether the setup works or the market simply trended.

    • Playbook expectancy per setup — proven only at 3+ trades
    • Alerts with chaining on your planned levels
    • Planned vs realised R:R, with your biggest breaches ranked
    • Watchlists with live quotes for what you are stalking

    The F&O trader

    High turnover, and expensive to get wrong

    Gross P&L flatters you. The charge stack and the tax treatment are where the year is actually decided.

    • STT/CTT, exchange fees, SEBI turnover fee, GST and stamp duty itemised
    • F&O and MCX treated as non-speculative business income at your slab
    • Turnover reported against the audit threshold
    • Risk of ruin run on your own win rate and payoff

    The Research Analyst or educator

    Your record is your product

    Followers deserve a track record built from real trades, and your compliance obligations do not pause for a screenshot.

    • Publish a call — entry zone, stop, targets, one-line view
    • Updates thread under the original call automatically
    • Registration and disclaimer appended to every card
    • Telegram routing to multiple channels with a delivery log
    Integrations

    Trading with a broker on the roadmap list? Its CSV export maps into the trade importer today — the sync is the convenience, the journal is the product. BSE-only scrips arrive the same way, or through broker sync.

    Security & data ownership

    Your journal. Literally yours.

    A trading journal is the most sensitive file a trader owns — every position, every size, every mistake. So the strongest privacy setting here is not a policy, it is an architecture: TradeBook can run without ever contacting a server.

    Zero server contact

    Local-only mode

    Pick local storage at signup and the whole app runs against your browser's own database. No account row, no upload, no sync — your trades never leave the machine you typed them on.

    Enforced in Postgres

    Row-level security on every table

    If you do use the cloud, isolation is enforced by the database, not by a check in application code that someone can forget. A query for another trader's rows returns nothing.

    No lock-in

    Export everything, any time

    Every trade, note, tag and journal entry exports in full. Leaving should cost you one click, and it does — that is the only reason to trust a journal with years of your history.

    Deterministic first

    The analytics need no AI at all

    The discipline score, the mistake pricing, the risk-of-ruin simulation and the behavioural flags are arithmetic on your own trades, computed in your own browser. Language-model features sit on top, are opt-in, and mostly run on a provider key you supply.

    Your Google Drive

    Backups you control

    In local-only mode, backups go to your own Google Drive on your command. It is your file, in your account, restorable by you.

    Journal, not an executor

    It does not trade for you

    TradeBook records, analyses and suggests. It is not an execution engine — there is no autonomous paper or live executor behind this product, and connecting a broker is opt-in and only for pulling your fills in.

    Cloud or local — you decide at signup, and you can see the difference

    Cloud mode

    Sign in from any device, sync across phone and desktop, connect Dhan and Telegram, and let scheduled reports run. Every table is behind row-level security.

    Local-only mode

    One browser, one database, nothing transmitted. You trade off multi-device sync and the server-side integrations — and in exchange nobody, including us, can read your book.

    For Research Analysts & Educators

    Publish calls.
    Let the record speak.

    Built by a SEBI-registered Research Analyst for analysts. Every call is backed by a real journal trade, so your public hit-rate is generated from data — not claims.

    Illustrative example — not a real call

    NEW CALL · your channel

    DEMO SCRIP · BUY · Positional

    Entry: 100 – 102 zone

    Stop-loss: 96 (close basis)

    Target 1: 110   Target 2: 118

    View: one line on why the level matters — your words, your format.

    Your own registration number and disclaimer are appended automatically when you publish.

    Sample layout only. The scrip is fictitious, the levels are placeholders, and no outcome is shown or implied.

    Post a Call in seconds

    Instrument, entry zone, stop-loss, targets and a one-line view — previewed, then published to your Telegram channel.

    Updates post themselves

    Stop-loss revisions, partial bookings and target hits thread under the original call automatically — followers see the full story.

    Compliant by default

    Quantity and capital are never shown. Your SEBI registration and disclaimer ride on every published card.

    Calls are research and education, never execution. Followers size their own positions — TradeBook enforces this in the card format itself.

    Pricing

    Simple pricing for disciplined traders.

    Every account opens on a 14-day Pro trial — no card. Don't upgrade and nothing is deleted: you land on Starter and keep journalling, free, forever.
