Trading journal vs growth tracker

Most journals optimize for fills and reports. Traders still quit when logging is homework and nothing ties the day to the account. Klaris is a growth tracker: a fast daily close and journal tied to projected vs actual progress, with the next size from actual balance.

Feature	Klaris	Typical journal suite
Core question	How do I keep making steady progress every day?	Which setups / hours / tags paid?
Habit friction	Close the day in under a minute; deepen with notes and tags when needed	Long trade schemas that get abandoned
Daily close	Result, journal, and tags connected to account progress	Optional notes beside a trade list
Process context	Setup and mistake tags on the day; filter history to review patterns	Reports without a daily account close
Position sizing rule	From actual balance and account plan	Usually manual / ignored
AI / replay	No	Often the upsell
Price	$12/mo after 30-day trial	Often $30 to $80/mo

vs TradeZella
They automate the journal. We enforce the model.
vs Tradervue
Great for trade history. Klaris is for account honesty.
vs TraderSync
Insights are optional. Closing the day isn’t.
vs Edgewonk / RoryTrade
Emotions matter. So does the number you’re allowed to risk tomorrow.
vs Excel
Spreadsheets don’t stop you from sizing up when you’re mad.

Close the day. Stay on the model.
