Where Lune excels

Journal That Syncs Itself

Lune Trading Journal auto-syncs every fill from your connected brokers in real time. You never import a CSV, never enter a trade manually, and never reconcile what actually happened on the broker versus what's in your journal. TradeZella relies on CSV uploads or manual entry for most futures brokers.

Free With 2+ Lune Products

The Trading Journal is bundled free when you subscribe to two or more Lune products. If you already run Auto Trader or the Trade Copier, there's no additional journal cost. TradeZella is $29-$49/mo on top of whatever you pay for automation and copy trading elsewhere.

Prop Firm Aware

Lune's journal knows your prop firm rules, daily loss caps, and trailing drawdown state. Metrics and warnings reflect the compliance reality of the account you're trading. TradeZella is a generic journal and doesn't track firm-specific rules.

Connected to Execution

Journal data shares the same trade records as Auto Trader and Trade Copier, so you can see what your automations did, what copy trading followers did, and what you manually traded in one place with no data reconciliation.

Where TradeZella excels

Broader Broker Support

TradeZella integrates with 500+ brokers across stocks, options, crypto, and futures. If you trade multiple asset classes across many brokers, TradeZella's integration breadth is hard to match.

Playbook and Mentor Features

TradeZella has a dedicated playbook system and mentor coaching workflow that's more developed than most journals. Traders who want structured coaching and rule-based playbooks get a mature product.

The ecosystem advantage

TradeZella is a great standalone journal, but for futures and prop firm traders it lives in its own silo. You still need separate tools to automate TradingView alerts, copy trades across accounts, and enforce risk rules, and you have to manually export data between them. Lune's Journal shares infrastructure with Auto Trader and Trade Copier, so every automated fill and every copied trade lands in the journal automatically with prop firm context attached. No imports, no reconciliation, no extra subscription.
