Comparison
Toreda vs spreadsheets: a trading journal comparison
Spreadsheets give you full control. Toreda imports trades and gives you a built-in scoring workflow.
Toreda is a better fit than a spreadsheet if you want trades imported through broker connections and a built-in scoring workflow, and a spreadsheet is a better fit if you want to design every metric yourself. Toreda is the first Enneagram trading journal, for futures, stocks and options traders.
Toreda is the first Enneagram trading journal. The Enneagram helps you understand your strengths and weaknesses as a trader. It does not predict results.
How Toreda works
Connect your broker and trades flow into the Journal. Score each trade and add your start- and end-of-day check-ins, and Toreda flags trades entered soon after a loss as possible revenge trades. The AI works from those scores: Trade Analyzer reviews single trades, a Daily Recap is written after each session, Dashboard Insights finds patterns by day, time and setup, and Eda answers questions about your own trading. Your Enneagram report shows the habits to watch.
Who should choose which
Choose a spreadsheet if:
- You are early, log a few trades a week and like building your own system.
- You want complete control over every metric.
Choose Toreda if:
- You are tired of copying fills by hand.
- You want a scoring system, AI review and an Enneagram profile without building them yourself.
- You trade several accounts or prop firm evaluations and need trades to sync.
You can also start in Toreda and keep a spreadsheet for custom analysis. Nothing stops you from using both.

Playbook checklists are ticked as you score, Toreda shows how many trades you have left to score, and your daily score adds start- and end-of-day check-ins. The dashboard Performance Score averages your trade scores into one number. | Only if you design the questions, weights, penalties and formulas yourself, and remember to fill them in after every trade. Nothing reminds you which trades are unscored, and charts of your scores over time are up to you. |
| AI coaching | Eda, an AI assistant that answers questions from your own trades, stats, journal and playbooks, and can tag trades, assign playbooks or add journal notes once you confirm.
