About Tradalyst
The journal that catches what you miss.
How it started
Tradalyst started with a spreadsheet and a lot of frustration.
I'd spent months trying to keep a trading journal in Excel. I had columns for the asset, entry price, exit price, P&L. It was technically correct and completely useless for what actually mattered: understanding why I was making the decisions I was making.
What I needed wasn't more rows — it was analysis. Knowing which time of day I lost the most. Whether my high-conviction trades actually outperformed the ones I opened on impulse. What pattern was repeating week after week without me noticing.
That question became Tradalyst. A journal that doesn't just store data — it analyses it.
One project, one person
Tradalyst is a final-year DAW project at Digitech FP in Málaga, Spain. Built by one person — design, backend, frontend, database, AI integration, production deployment.
It's not a VC-backed startup product. It's a tool built because it was needed, by someone who trades the same markets you do.
What we believe
Most traders lose money not because their technical analysis is poor. They lose because they don't know themselves as operators.
They know they trade badly on Mondays. They feel it. But they don't have the data. They know that when they're anxious they make worse decisions. But they don't know exactly how much worse.
Tradalyst turns that intuition into evidence. And evidence changes habits.
The tech
Django REST API on the backend. Next.js on the frontend. PostgreSQL. Claude as the intelligence engine. All deployed on a Hetzner VPS with Nginx — no unnecessary managed services.
The stack is deliberate: real performance, controlled costs, full ownership.
