Common questions
Everything you need to know before you download.
Is BetterTrade really free?
Yes - genuinely free. Download it, sign up, and start logging trades with zero cost and no credit card. The free tier gives you up to 50 trades, basic analytics, trade calendar, import/export, and push notifications. Upgrade to Pro in-app when you want unlimited everything.
Why is BetterTrade so much cheaper than other journals?
We built BetterTrade mobile-first and kept infrastructure lean. Competitors like Tradervue ($29/mo) and TraderSync ($29.95/mo) are desktop-focused products with heavy overhead. BetterTrade Pro is $4.99/month or $29.99/year - less than a single bad trade's cost for most retail traders. You get the same depth, on your phone, at a fraction of the price.
How does the Smart Insight Engine work?
It is a rule-based coaching system - not AI. It runs 8 structured coaching rules against your trade history entirely on your device: revenge trading detection, risk of ruin, rolling edge decline, early exit cost, best symbol analysis, session performance gaps, behavior cost, and overtrading detection. Results are ranked by severity (critical, warning, info) so you always know what to tackle first. No cloud processing, no guesswork.
Can I import trades from MetaTrader 5?
Yes. BetterTrade imports directly from MetaTrader 5 HTML or CSV account history exports. It also accepts any generic CSV file with standard column headers. Invalid rows are skipped and reported - valid trades are always imported.
Is my trading data secure and private?
Yes. Data is stored in Google Cloud Firestore with Firebase Authentication. All data in transit is encrypted with TLS 1.2+. Firestore Security Rules ensure your data is only accessible by you - no other user can read your trades, ever. You can permanently delete your account and all data at any time from the app.
Does the app work offline?
Yes. BetterTrade uses a local Hive cache with a 5-minute freshness window. When the cache is fresh the app shows your journal and analytics with zero network requests. When you are back online, everything syncs automatically.
What is the Trader Health Score?
A 100-point score computed from your actual trade history across 4 pillars: Win Rate (25 pts), Expectancy (30 pts), Risk Control (25 pts), and Discipline (20 pts). It places you in one of five tiers - Beginner, Learning, Developing, Proficient, or Elite - and updates automatically as you log more trades. Requires at least 10 closed trades.
What platforms does BetterTrade support?
BetterTrade is currently available on Android via Google Play. iOS support is planned for a future release.
Can I delete my account and all my data?
Yes, at any time. Go to Profile then Delete Account in the app. All trades, stats, and personal data are permanently and irreversibly deleted. See the Delete Account page for full details.
