Everything in one vault

Your whole trading game,
in one beautiful place

No more scattered spreadsheets, screenshots in random folders, and notes you never revisit. It all lives here.

Trade Journal

Log every position — direction, RR, session, outcome and chart screenshots from 1D down to 1m. A P&L calendar turns your month into stats at a glance.

Advanced Statistics

Equity curves, win rate, profit factor, expectancy, session performance and a daily heatmap. Filter any window and watch your edge take shape.

Backtest Journal

Note your backtests in dedicated sessions and gather full statistics on every setup you put to the test — your hypothetical trades, measured like the real thing.

Strategies & Entry Models

Name your setups and entry models, tag every trade to them, and see the exact win rate and RR behind each edge you trade.

Session Notes

Save your pre- and post-market notes and written plans, organized by date. Revisit, annotate, and never lose a session again.

Runs on any machine

Heavy on visuals, light when it counts. Lite mode drops the effects automatically on slower hardware — or flip it yourself. Smooth everywhere, free for everyone.

Advanced statistics

See your edge,
not just your trades

Every trade you log feeds your statistics. Watch your equity curve climb, track win rate and profit factor, and find which sessions actually pay you.

Your consistency, visible

Every trading day,
at a single glance

Greener days are stronger R days, red days are losses. Watch months of progress turn into a picture you can read in a second.

consistency compounds — the margin remembers

Buttery on any machine

Marginalia is built with motion and glow — but never at the cost of speed. On older laptops or with hardware acceleration off, Lite mode kicks in automatically. Prefer it? Flip it on yourself in Settings. Available to everyone, free.

Why I built Marginalia
I always wanted an all-in-one trading tool that completely covered my needs for the workspace. When I realised there was no ready-to-use product that worked the way I wanted, I built my own.

Questions, answered

Everything traders ask
before they commit

Short answers, no fine print. Anything else — you'll find it inside.

Yes. You get the trade journal with a P&L calendar, 25 trades, 10 pre/post-market days, one strategy, one entry model and one backtest session — no card required. It's enough to run real weeks of trading and decide for yourself.
One click, from Settings — no emails, no retention flows. You keep Pro until the end of the period you've already paid for, and you can resume just as easily.
Anything you trade — futures, forex, crypto, stocks. Direction, RR, session, outcome and chart screenshots from 1D down to 1m, plus your written pre- and post-market plans, all organized by date.
Private by default. Sharing is opt-in and scoped: hand out view-only or view-plus-notes links to exactly the part you choose — a mentor sees your journal, not your whole vault — and revoke any link whenever you want.
Never. Backtest sessions live in their own journal with their own statistics, so practice reps sharpen your reading speed without polluting your real edge.

Your edge deserves a better home.

Stop journaling in spreadsheets. Start building your vault today.

Entry Models / Strategies

Define your setups and rules, tag trades to them, and pull the exact stats for each — across your live journal, your backtests, or both.

Backtest Sessions

Practice on historical data. Each session is its own journal, template and stats — fully separate from your live vault.

Settings

Manage your profile, security and account.

Profile
Shown in your sidebar, greeting and on shared vaults.
To change your email, use the Email section below.
Email
We'll send a confirmation link to both your current and new address. Your email only changes after you confirm.
Security
Two-factor authentication

Require an emailed code when signing in on a new device. Each device is remembered for 30 days, so you won't be asked every time.

Display performance

Marginalia runs animated visuals — a drifting comet, a particle field and a glow that follows your cursor. Lite mode turns those off for a lighter, faster experience on slower devices. Automatic chooses for you based on your hardware and frame rate.

Full visuals
Discord

Post any trade straight to your own Discord channel as a clean card — direction, result, session, risk, your notes and every chart screenshot with its per-timeframe note. Paste a channel webhook below; then use the Post to Discord button on any trade.

In Discord: Edit Channel → Integrations → Webhooks → New Webhook → Copy URL. Anyone with this URL can post to that channel, so keep it private.
