Manual diaries still slow people down
Typing a trade can be a feature. If the friction saves you from a click, StonkJournal did its job. Donation-supported free is also a clean deal: no fake trial clock.
Friction fails when you skip the form on the red day, which is the only day that needed the form. There is still zero MT5, zero flatten, zero news blackout. The diary cannot see the account.
Free typing versus free telemetry
Venasri Free is also $0: 5 trades, live connection, charts, Forex Factory alerts. You are not asked to transcribe fills. The socket already knows.
Start at $0 with a real bridge
create a free Venasri account and leave StonkJournal open if typing still calms you. Put later floors in Venasri Risk Management. When you are ready: Venasri Pricing ($0 Free, $9.99 Starter, $29.99 Pro).
Do not donate to a diary expecting it to grow a ZeroMQ bridge. That is not the project.
Keep typing as a ritual, not as a system
Rituals belong in notebooks. Systems belong on sockets. If you enjoy StonkJournal, keep the ritual. Put the system on Venasri before a funded login exists.
If you never intend to automate or protect, the diary is enough. Say that before you enter a 5% daily rule.
