Frequently asked questions
Why should I switch from an Excel trading journal to Tradapt?
Excel is a great starting point but becomes time-consuming and error-prone as trade volume grows. Tradapt automates all metric calculations, adds AI coaching, and works on any device — free.
Can I import my Excel trading journal into Tradapt?
Yes. Export your trades from Excel as a CSV file. As long as your columns include date, symbol, entry, exit, and P&L, the Tradapt importer will recognise and map them automatically.
Is Tradapt free like Excel?
Tradapt's Free plan is free with no time limit. You don't need a Microsoft 365 subscription or Excel license — and you get automated analytics and AI that Excel can't provide.
What can Tradapt do that Excel can't?
Tradapt adds AI coaching on your trade history, automatic behavioral pattern detection (revenge trading, FOMO), screenshot and note attachments per trade, a playbook system, and multi-account tracking — none of which are possible in Excel without complex custom development.
