Quick Answers to Your Trading Questions
Join traders worldwide who use Tracom to organise their journals, manage risk more consistently, and review their performance with clarity. Here are answers to the most common questions before you get started.
🔥 Most Asked Questions
Is Tracom really free? What's the catch?
POPULARTracom has a fully featured free tier. No trial, no credit card required. With the free plan you can:
- ✅ Journal and review your trades
- ✅ Use professional risk & position size calculators
- ✅ Access core performance analytics and reports
- ✅ Sync data securely across your devices
- ✅ Export your data (CSV/PDF) whenever you need it
Optional paid features: You can choose to unlock extra analytics, an ad-free experience, or monetisation tools (for example, subscriptions to your journal). You may also follow and subscribe to other traders' journals if they offer paid content. All of this is optional — for personal journaling and basic tools, you can stay on the free tier as long as you like.
How will the Risk Calculator actually help me?
It helps you avoid accidental over-risking before you click "buy" or "sell". For example:
Without Tracom: You plan to risk 2% on a trade, but because of a miscalculated lot size, you're actually risking much more than you intended.
With Tracom: You enter your account size, stop-loss, and risk percentage. The calculator shows the correct position size so you can keep each trade within your risk rules.
Over time, consistently sizing trades to a sensible risk level can have a bigger impact on your account survival and growth than tweaking entries. Tracom helps you apply that discipline on every trade — but you still decide whether to take the trade or not.
How fast can I set this up and start using it?
You can be journaling your first trade in just a few minutes:
- 1️⃣ Download from the App Store or Google Play
- 2️⃣ Create an account with your email
- 3️⃣ Log your first trade with side, size, entry, stop, and notes
- 4️⃣ Open the analytics screen to see your early stats
There’s no broker connection required and no complicated setup. If you can use a simple mobile app, you can use Tracom.
📊 Trading & Features
What markets and instruments does Tracom support?
You can log almost any kind of trade in Tracom. Common examples include:
Majors, minors, and exotics
Bitcoin, altcoins, DeFi tokens
US, UK, EU, and other markets
Indices, commodities, options, futures, and more
The risk tools are designed to work across different asset classes, so you can keep all your trades in one place instead of juggling multiple spreadsheets.
What analytics will actually help me improve?
Tracom focuses on practical, behaviour-driven analytics that show you exactly where you're doing well and where you're leaking money. For example:
- Win rate by setup: See which strategies actually work for you and which ones consistently lose.
- Time-of-day analysis: Spot when you're most and least profitable (e.g. London open vs. late night trades).
- Emotion tracking: Tag trades as “FOMO”, “Revenge”, “Planned” and review how each category performs.
- Risk/Reward in practice: Compare your average winner to your average loser — not just what you planned.
- Drawdown and streaks: Understand your typical losing streaks so you can manage risk and psychology.
Some summaries and insights may be assisted by AI, but you are always in control: you decide which setups to keep, which to cut, and how to adjust your plan. Many traders find that simply reviewing these stats regularly leads to more consistent decision-making, but results will always vary by person.
Can I follow and learn from other traders?
NEWYes. Tracom includes community-style features where traders can choose to share parts of their journals. Depending on what they decide to publish, you may be able to:
- 📈 View example trades with entries, exits, and risk details
- 📝 Read notes about the trader’s thought process
- 📊 See performance summaries for the strategies they choose to share
- 💡 Study how experienced traders structure their journals and routines
- 🔔 Get notified when traders you follow post new content
Important: Content from other traders — including any AI-assisted analysis — is for information and education only. It is not financial advice, it does not guarantee profits, and it may not suit your circumstances. You are always responsible for your own trading decisions and risk management.
🔒 Security & Privacy
Is my trading data really secure and private?
We take security and privacy seriously and design Tracom to protect your information. For example:
- 🔐 Uses strong, industry-standard encryption during transmission and storage
- 📱 No broker API keys are required — you log trades manually, so there’s no direct access to your trading accounts
- ☁️ Encrypted cloud backups with reputable infrastructure providers
- 🗑️ You can request account deletion, and we aim to remove or anonymise your personal data within a reasonable period, subject to legal obligations
- 🚪 You can export your data if you ever want to move or keep your own backup
We do not sell your personal trading data. Some information may be processed by trusted third-party providers (for example, cloud hosting, analytics, or AI services) solely to deliver the features you use. For full details, please see our Privacy Policy.
Do I have to share my trades publicly?
No — your journal is private by default. You decide what, if anything, you share. Specifically:
- 🔒 All trades are private unless you actively choose to publish or share them
- 🎚️ You can share only selected trades or summaries and keep the rest for yourself
- 💰 Monetisation features (for example, paid subscribers) are completely optional
Many traders use Tracom purely as a private performance and journaling tool. Sharing is there if you want to teach, collaborate, or build a community — but it’s never required.
💰 Monetization (Optional)
How can I make money with my trading journal?
If you're an experienced trader and local regulations allow it, Tracom’s creator tools can help you build a paid community around your journal. In general, the process looks like this:
- 1. Build a transparent track record: Consistently journal your trades and results over time.
- 2. Set a subscription price: Choose a monthly fee for people who want deeper access to your journal, notes, or strategies (within the price ranges allowed in the app).
- 3. Share useful content: Post trades, breakdowns, and educational commentary your subscribers can learn from.
- 4. Grow your audience: As you provide value, more traders may choose to follow and subscribe.
- 5. Earn recurring income: You receive a share of subscription revenue (after platform and payment processing fees), with the exact percentages shown in-app.
Important: Monetisation is entirely optional and never guaranteed. Subscriber numbers and income depend on your own performance, consistency, content quality, reputation, and market conditions. You must not promise profits or guaranteed outcomes to subscribers, and you’re responsible for complying with any financial or tax regulations that apply in your country.
