SimpleTradeLog
SimpleTradeLog is a focused desktop application designed for Interactive Brokers (IBKR) stock traders who want to review their real net P&L after commissions and fees. The app imports trade data from supported IBKR export files, including .tlg trade logs and activity statement XML files, eliminating the need for manual spreadsheet tracking or broker API integration. It presents a clear dashboard with net P&L, equity curve, win rate, cumulative performance, and a calendar view for daily P&L at a glance. Users can also drill into individual trading days to see intraday price charts, journal notes, and the list of executions, and they can track deposits and withdrawals to keep equity calculations accurate. SimpleTradeLog keeps imported trade data, cashflows, and journal entries local on the user's computer, while only account access, license validation, billing, downloads, and anonymous product analytics use online services. The app offers a 14-day free trial, after which it requires a paid subscription at $89 per year or $9 per month for one machine, with license transfer support. It is available for Windows x64 and macOS (both Apple Silicon and Intel). SimpleTradeLog is positioned as a practical tool for day traders and swing traders who need a clear, low-friction way to see their true trading performance without complex configuration.
