What Trader Make Money does

Trader Make Money is a crypto-native trading journal. It connects to your exchange with a read-only API key, imports your real fills, and turns them into an analyzable record — true net PnL after fees and funding, broken down by symbol, setup, and time.

A journal is not just a log. Reviewing your real history is how you spot recurring patterns, catch costly mistakes, and measure whether your strategy is actually improving. This guide points you to the section that does each of those jobs.

Step 1 — Connect your first exchange

Open the app and add an exchange API key. Use a read-only key — the journal never needs trade or withdrawal permissions, it only reads your fills. Once the key connects, your trade history imports on its own; there is nothing to upload.

The app reads all 10 supported exchanges together, so if you trade on more than one venue you connect each key and see one combined record. You manage keys later from the API Keys block on the Settings page.

Step 2 — Find the section you need

The app mirrors how you actually review trades. Pick the task you want and go straight to it:

  • •Want a quick read on how your day, week, or month went? The Diary auto-reflects on your recent trading.
  • •Want to look at a single trade in detail? Find it in My Trades, and use filters to narrow the table fast.
  • •Want to examine your whole history? Build a custom analytics board in the Summary section — how many boards and widgets you get depends on your plan.
  • •Worried one losing streak wipes out weeks of work? The Risk Management backtester replays your history against theoretical limits.
  • •Want alerts and daily reports in Telegram or Discord? Set up a connection.
  • •Want to compete for prizes and show verified results? Turn on your public profile and join Top Traders.

Step 3 — Try it free

Trader Make Money is free to start. The free tier connects one exchange and gives you the trades table, diary, and a starter analytics board; higher plans raise the exchange, history, board, and widget limits. See the Settings guide for where your current plan and limits appear, or the pricing page for the full comparison.
