Spreadsheets are a rite of passage.
Every trader starts with one. They’re flexible, free, and fully customizable.
But let’s be real—spreadsheets weren’t built to track trades. They’re built for accountants, not traders.
At first, they help you stay organized. You log trades manually, build formulas, and maybe even color-code tabs like a pro. But as your strategy evolves and your trade volume increases, that system starts to break.
The process becomes a chore
The insights take too long to find
You stop reviewing consistently
Not because you’re lazy—but because your trade tracking tool no longer fits the job.
That’s where an automated trading journal like TradeZella comes in.
It’s not just a fancier spreadsheet—it’s a complete trade performance system designed for traders who are serious about improving.
