Tools you usually pay for separately

Strategies from A to Z

Economic calendar

CPI, NFP, FOMC and more, with forecast, previous value and filters by country and impact.

News alerts

Windows reminds you a few minutes before high-impact news, so you never enter a trade blind.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free?

Yes. The journal, backtesting, the ICT course, strategies, the macro calendar, prop challenge mode and the community are free forever. Premium is optional and adds extra tools like the PDF report, community comparison and a second market in backtesting.

How do I get Premium?

In the app, on the Premium tab. Premium is a role on our Discord, and the app unlocks the features automatically after purchase.

Windows shows a warning during installation. What should I do?

This is normal for new apps without a paid certificate. Click “More info” and then “Run anyway”. You only do this once; later versions install themselves.

Why do I need to log in with Discord?

The app is made for our community. Discord login only checks that you are a member of the server. We never get access to your messages or password.

Where are my trades stored?

Locally on your computer. You can back up the database or export your journal to CSV at any time.

Where does the backtesting data come from?

It is historical minute data from Dukascopy. For indices and commodities these are CFD prices, very close to futures. Downloaded days are saved to disk and load instantly next time.

Is there a Mac or mobile version?

A macOS version (Intel and Apple Silicon) is on the way. A mobile version is planned.

Is the app in English?

Yes. On first launch you pick English or Polish, and you can change it later in settings.
