What is SignalDeck?

SignalDeck is a professional-grade trading journal and strategy backtester for serious retail traders. Unlike general-purpose trading journals, SignalDeck uses R-Multiple (risk-normalized return) as the organizing principle for every metric β€” equity curves, expectancy, SQN scoring, Kelly Criterion position sizing, and Post Mortem reviews all flow from a single risk framework. It supports stocks, forex, and crypto natively. The built-in strategy backtester includes Walk-Forward Analysis for overfitting detection, 1,000-path Monte Carlo simulation for worst-case drawdown modeling, and grid-search parameter optimization β€” a combination no other trading journal offers. SignalDeck is currently in beta and free to use.

Built for traders who journal β€” or want to start. If you're tracking R-multiples in a spreadsheet, paying $30+/month for a journal that treats R-value as an afterthought, or you just know your edge is real but can't prove it yet β€” SignalDeck was built for you.

Structured Post Mortem Protocol

Every closed trade gets a mandatory 5-step forensic review. No shortcuts. No skipped trades. This is where amateurs become professionals β€” one trade at a time.

  • 01 Setup Diagnosis β€” Was the signal valid or forced?
  • 02 Management β€” Did you follow the plan or improvise?
  • 03 Verdict β€” Process win, process loss, or violation?
  • 04 Training Gap β€” What skill needs work?
  • 05 Action β€” One specific thing to do differently next time
