• Over 300 reports, and AI agents that tag trades from rules written in plain English.
• Tradovate and NinjaTrader synced automatically today.

Where TakeJournal goes further

• A copied trade is one decision: the master’s result, every account’s money beside it. TradeZella’s help merges the duplicates by hand.
• The copy audit: the missed copies, the wrong sizes and the delay of every follower, per trade and over time.
• The distance to liquidation from 1-second bars, intraday trailing included, and alerts before a firm’s limit breaks.
• A free plan without a time limit and a 7-day trial without a card; TradeZella has neither.
