When A Trader Should Move From Starter To Pro
The free plan builds the logging habit. Pro begins when the trader has enough data to make deeper analytics valuable.
A free plan should have a purpose. It should let a trader build the habit without pressure. But every serious trader eventually reaches the point where basic logging is not enough.
The move to Pro makes sense when the trader has enough trades that patterns matter and enough commitment that deeper review will actually be used.
The first thirty trades
Thirty trades is enough to build the habit, but not always enough to prove an edge. It is a useful first sample because repeated mistakes start appearing.
The Starter plan should help the trader learn whether they will actually log. If they will not log, more analytics will not save them.
Upgrade when questions get sharper
A trader is ready for Pro when they stop asking only 'am I profitable?' and start asking 'which setup pays, which session hurts and which mistake repeats?'
Those questions require analytics, imports, psychology tracking and weekly review.
Pro is for removing friction
Unlimited trades and journaling matter because serious review should not stop at a limit. Imports matter because active traders need complete data. Priority support matters because workflow issues block consistency.
Pro is not about decoration. It is about removing friction from the improvement loop.
Elite is a different step
Elite is for traders managing more complexity: multiple accounts, prop firm rules, strategy vaults, simulations and private community discussion.
The upgrade path should feel natural: Starter builds the habit, Pro deepens the review, Elite manages the full operation.
