No gurus, just data.

01Our story

Like most traders, our founder learned from screenshots, signals and people who sounded sure. Some strategies looked perfect on a chart. None of them came with proof.

He also ran a small WhatsApp trading community, and saw the same thing again and again: traders with good ideas, losing because their rules changed from one day to the next. Nobody knew if their strategy actually worked.

So he stopped guessing. He wrote his own system down as exact rules and tested it on years of data, with costs included. His first system didn't survive the test, so he dropped it. The next one, a 4H trendline system on USDJPY, did. It was tested on 5 pairs, and only 1 had a real edge. He would never have known that from a chart.

That's when FXjournalist began: if testing changed how he traded, it could do the same for other traders.

02Our vision

A trading world where traders build and test their own edge, instead of buying someone else's dream.

• Today: honest strategy tests, upgrades and prop-firm plans.
• Next: the free FXjournalist Academy, teaching traders to build a system from scratch.
• Later: a free trading journal, so traders can compare their live results with their backtest.

03What we believe

• Numbers over opinions. If it can't be tested, it's a guess.
• Show the losses. A report that hides the bad parts is an advert, not a test.
• Your strategy is yours. We never share or reuse it.
• You stay in control. No signals, no managing money, no promises of profit.

04The founder

A trader first, not a coder. Frednard turned his own trading into a testing process: write the rules, test them on years of data, keep what survives and drop what doesn't. He still trades his own tested system, and every method FXjournalist uses was tried on his own trading first.
