What is an Aster trading journal?
An Aster trading journal is a structured record of your perpetual trades on Aster, built so you can measure performance instead of guessing. Aster is newer than most of the exchanges traders journal, which means almost nothing else tracks it yet. TMM does.
It turns your raw fills into clean closed positions with win-rate, R-multiple, and funding-aware PnL, and keeps the log current automatically. Start journaling now and you'll have months of clean data while later arrivals are still hunting for a tool.
How TMM auto-imports your Aster trades
Connect once with a read-only API key and TMM keeps your journal synced from then on.
- •In Aster, open the API section of your account settings and create a new API key.
- •Grant read-only access. Leave trading off and never enable withdrawals — TMM only reads your history.
- •Copy the API Key and Secret into TMM's Aster connection screen.
What you can track
Aster is futures-first, so TMM centers on your perpetual trading. Every position you open and close gets rebuilt with the full leverage picture.
- •Net PnL after fees and funding. Aster charges funding on its perps like any perp venue, and TMM folds every funding payment into your result, so the number is the real one.
- •Win-rate by symbol, by direction, over any date range.
- •R-multiple and average win vs. average loss, so you can see whether your winners actually pay for your losers.
- •Equity curve that tracks your account's real shape over time.
- •Per-symbol breakdown, which matters on a younger exchange where you're often trading newer or thinner contracts.

Why traders use TMM for Aster
Being early on a new exchange is an edge, but only if you can tell whether your edge is real. Funding on perps accrues every few hours whether you watch it or not, and a position that looked green can quietly bleed out. TMM is funding-aware, so your Aster stats show the honest result instead of the optimistic screen number.
The AI coach reads your real Aster history and calls out the patterns costing you: over-leveraged entries, the contract you keep forcing, the hours where your edge disappears. You can publish an exchange-verified public profile backed by real API data, not screenshots, and rank on the leaderboards from the start. More than 170,000 traders use TMM, and the journal is free to begin with.
