Private trading discipline journal for Windows
Plan trades, calculate risk, check rule compliance, import broker CSV history, and review execution quality without uploading your trading journal to a cloud platform.
Who it is for
- Traders who already have a strategy and want to actually follow it.
- Traders who want pre-trade risk and reward-to-risk checks before entering.
- Traders who want to review execution quality, not just profit and loss.
- Traders who prefer their journal data to stay on their own computer.
Who it is not for
- Anyone looking for trading signals, market predictions, or automated trading.
- Anyone expecting guaranteed profits — this is a discipline and review tool.
- Traders who need a mobile app today (DisciplineRR is a Windows desktop app).
- Anyone who wants a fully cloud-synced journal across many devices.
Complete feature list
Trading plan
Define max risk per trade, minimum reward-to-risk, max daily loss, and approved setups. Your plan becomes the reference for rule checks.
Risk Guard
Pre-trade checks for planned risk, daily loss room, and reward-to-risk against your own rules, with a clear pass or warning state.
Position & risk calculator
Position sizing across stocks, futures, options, forex, metals, crypto, and CFD-style sizing, with a suggested size that stays within your risk cap.
Structured journaling
Log symbol, direction, entry, stop, target, setup, and notes in one consistent flow instead of a scattered spreadsheet.
Analytics & review
Equity curve, P&L by setup, R distribution, plan-followed-vs-broken, and edge insights from your closed trades.
Broker CSV import
Import broker and platform history through CSV exports with custom field mapping.
Local storage & backups
Journal data stays on your computer. Export and restore with JSON backups and CSV exports.
Discipline scoring
See trade quality separated from profit and loss, so a lucky winner that broke your rules is not counted as good execution.
Product workflow
Set the rules
Risk limits, approved setups, and minimum R:R before the session.
Capture the trade
Setup, entry, stop, target, and notes in one structured flow.
Check the risk
Planned risk, daily loss room, and reward-to-risk versus your plan.
Refine your edge
See which setups and behaviors help or cost you R.
Local-data architecture
DisciplineRR does not upload trade records, journal notes, imported CSV data, or locally attached screenshots to DisciplineRR-operated servers during normal application use. Your journal is stored locally on your computer.
Internet access may be required for checkout, downloading the installer, license activation, update checks, and support communications.
Supported import approach
DisciplineRR imports trade history from broker and platform CSV exports using custom field mapping. It does not connect to your broker and does not require brokerage login credentials.
Backup & export
Create JSON backups of your trades, account, and plans, and restore them after reinstalling or moving computers. Trade history can also be exported to CSV for spreadsheet-friendly review. Back up regularly — you are responsible for your local data.
Free 7-day trial
Try the full app before buying. The trial runs entirely inside the Windows app — nothing is uploaded and no account is created.
- Full app access for 7 days
