What MindTrajour Does
MindTrajour brings structure and clarity to the options trading process. It replaces impulsive decisions and messy spreadsheets with clean trade tracking, emotion logging, and powerful performance stats—helping traders improve with every trade. Designed for consistent results and smarter decision-making.
The Current Landscape
The options trading space has exploded in recent years, attracting a new wave of retail traders. Most of them manage their trades using spreadsheets, screenshots, and gut instinct. Critical data is scattered, strategies are undocumented, and emotional decisions often dominate the trading day.
Other Trading Journals often overwhelm users with complexity. They focus heavily on historical analysis and are rarely tailored to the specific challenges of options trading. Many are cluttered with static data, outdated interfaces, and generic metrics—making it difficult to focus on what actually matters.
MindTrajour takes a different approach: it’s designed to be clean, intuitive, and free from unnecessary distractions. Every element serves a purpose—supporting clarity, focus, and confident decision-making. No bloated dashboards, no noise—just the essentials for understanding performance, managing trades, and improving with every position.
One standout feature is the Emotion Tracker, which helps users identify how fear, greed, hesitation, or overconfidence influence their trades. By logging emotional states alongside each position, traders can uncover hidden behavioral patterns and build discipline over time.
Because traders don’t need more information—they need simplicity, structure, and insights they can act on instantly.
MindTrajour Birth Story
MindTrajour was created out of necessity. A group of experienced traders and product builders realized that while strategies were evolving, the tools used to track them weren’t. Most journaling methods felt like homework: clunky, time-consuming, and disconnected from the actual trading process.
After dozens of interviews with options traders, one need became clear: a fast, intuitive journal that doesn’t just document trades but actually helps traders trade better. The result is MindTrajour—built to make journaling feel like an edge, not a chore.
The MindTrajour Solution
MindTrajour is a modern options trading journal that combines the speed of execution with the power of reflection. Instead of asking users to build their own tracking systems from scratch, the platform provides:
3
● Prebuilt strategy templates for common options setups like, spreads, naked puts or iron condors
● Live charts and real-time stock prices for every trade entry
● Automated trade statistics, including win rate, risk-reward ratio, and performance per strategy
● Integrated trade management with visualized Take Profit and Stop Loss tracking
● Emotion and decision logging to uncover behavioral patterns
Trades can be logged in under 60 seconds. The journal tracks everything from technical setups to emotional state, all in one place. Over time, traders start to notice what truly works for them—whether it’s a specific strategy, time of day, or mindset.
Where others stop at data entry, MindTrajour continues into meaningful insights. It’s not about having more numbers—it’s about seeing the story behind each trade.
MindTrajour Customer Story
One user, an intermediate swing trader, had been trading options for over two years but couldn’t figure out why profits were inconsistent. Within three weeks of using MindTrajour, he identified that his best trades happened when sticking to just two specific strategies—and avoiding trades opened out of boredom. With that insight, he cut unnecessary trades by 35% and improved his win rate by over 20%.
