In simple English
Buying and selling stocks or crypto can make you lose money if you do not track your results. This tool gives you a private place to store all your trade records on your own server. You can see your wins and losses in one dashboard to spot what works. It costs nothing in money, but you need your own computer or server to run it. You also have to set up the software yourself and keep it running.
What it is
TradeNote is an open-source (code you can read and change freely) web application that acts as a personal trading journal. It stores your trade history and helps you find patterns in your past market decisions.
What it is good for
Active traders who want to keep their financial data private on their own hardware instead of using a paid cloud service.
