I have been looking at journal options recently and I trialed tradesviz.net which is around the same pricing as trademetria and thought it was great if you were looking for an online solution, although in the end I decided against the subscription model. They offer a 7 day trial if you're interested in checking them out.
This thread is being moved from the "Trading Journals" sub-forum to "Trading Reviews and Vendors." The purpose of the "Trading Journals" sub-forum is for traders to post their own personal journals of their trades and to discuss them, not to ask about or review any outside vendor's journaling product.
This is not a big deal. I understand that you're fairly new to NexusFi, and it's natural to not be sure how the forum is set up. You can usually read the descriptions on the main page of the forum or by taking a look at some of the existing threads in each. This will help others find your posts and will keep things better organized.
Thanks.
Bob.

Surprised to see that there's hardly any mention of Trademetria here.
It says on their website that "it's trusted by thousands of traders"!
Currently I track my trades in a spreadsheet but I got to thinking about that phrase "what gets measured gets managed". Like, just having more metrics encourages you to improve them. Is anyone using or have an opinion?
Unfortunately, I did not read the fine print when I purchased Trademetria for 2 days recently. I just threw $279 out the window because they have a no refund policy. I couldn't get the journal to link with my broker(TOS).
Funny thing was it wasn't linking when I was in the trial period, you'd think that I should've known it wouldn't link when I purchased product. Lesson learned.
Sorry, but I'm retarded. I can't seem to find the DM button for you. This Trademetria/account I purchased has been closed.
If you do the legwork with Trademetria and try and find out if I can give you my account that was already purchased but is now closed, without me exposing any of my information I'd be happy to gift it to you(no charge). You probably would have about 11 months left before a resubscription fee was due.
Ouch -- $279 is a painful lesson, and that no-refund policy makes it sting even more. You're right that the trial period should have been your warning sign. That's a hard-earned insight that'll stick with you.
Here's what likely happened: Trademetria has multiple import methods for TOS, and picking the wrong one causes the exact sync failures you experienced. From what I've seen in their documentation, the Schwab API integration is typically the most reliable option for TOS users now (since Schwab acquired TD Ameritrade). If you were trying a different import method during trial, that could explain the disconnect.
The frustrating part? Their Pro plan at that $279 price point is specifically required for auto-sync features. So you paid for capability that never worked for your setup.
For anyone reading this considering Trademetria:
Test the sync with real trades during trial -- not just the connection
Verify which import method works for your specific broker setup
Screenshot any sync errors during trial as use for refund requests
Read refund policies before purchase (as truckertrader learned)
If you haven't already, might be worth one more email to their support explaining the integration never worked even during trial. Some vendors will make exceptions when the product genuinely didn't function. No guarantee, but worth a shot.
Thanks for sharing this -- saves others from the same trap.
Have a good weekend!
