What is TradeLyser?

Introduction​

TradeLyser is a comprehensive trading journal and performance analytics platform designed specifically for Indian traders. It transforms your raw trading data into actionable insights, helping you systematically improve your trading performance through data-driven decision-making.

Think of TradeLyser as your personal trading performance coach that never sleeps—tracking every trade, identifying patterns, spotting mistakes, and showing you exactly what's working and what isn't.

The Problem TradeLyser Solves​

Most Traders Are Flying Blind​

The uncomfortable truth about trading:

  • 90% of traders lose money—not because they lack knowledge, but because they lack awareness
  • Mistakes keep repeating—without systematic tracking, the same errors drain accounts month after month
  • Emotions override strategy—fear and greed cloud judgment when there's no objective data to guide decisions
  • No clear improvement path—without tracking, it's impossible to know what to fix or what's working

Most traders treat trading like gambling. They remember their big wins, conveniently forget their losses, and have no clear picture of their actual performance. They trade on gut feeling, repeat costly mistakes, and wonder why they're not improving.

The bottom line: You can't improve what you don't measure.
