And I am not going to make any up.

Most pages like this one have three smiling faces right about here, saying something glowing and vague. First Tick is new. Nobody has traded a full year with it, so nobody can honestly tell you what it did to their numbers, and a quote I wrote myself would not be worth reading anyway.

So here is what I can tell you instead. I built this because I needed it. I day trade, I was keeping my trades in a spreadsheet that I kept not updating, and the trades I most needed to look at again were the ones I was least likely to write down. Every journal I tried wanted me to log the trade the way it wanted, not the way it actually happened, with scaling in, trimming, and a messy exit.

First Tick handles the trade the way you actually took it. Multiple fills, partial exits, the whole thing reconciled into one honest P/L and R-multiple, so your win rate and your equity curve reflect what really happened rather than what was easy to type in.

Being early has a real cost and I would rather say it than hide it. You will find rough edges. You will find something that does not work the way you expect. What you get in exchange is that when you tell me, I am the person who fixes it, and it gets fixed in days rather than sitting in a queue behind ten thousand other users.

If that trade sounds fair, start logging trades and tell me what breaks. The traders who do that now are the ones whose words end up in this section later.

I am letting a small group in, watching how they actually log trades, and fixing what annoys them. Leave your email and I will send you an invite.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The Free plan lets you log up to 25 trades with the dashboard and calendar view, no card required. Upgrade only when you need unlimited trades or the analytics suite.

Which brokers can I connect?

E*TRADE, on the Pro plan. Connect your account, pick how far back to go (today, this week, this month, this year, or up to two years), and every closed trade comes in with its actual fills, fees and P/L. Trades you already logged by hand are skipped, so nothing gets counted twice, and positions you're still holding come in once you close them. One honest catch: E*TRADE signs you out every night at midnight Eastern, so you reconnect once a day before you sync. Webull is next. For any other broker, CSV import (Basic and Pro) and logging by hand work today.

What does the AI actually do?

Today it reviews any single trade with coaching feedback on the setup and execution, and generates a weekly digest that recaps your last 7 days, flags recurring patterns, and suggests concrete changes. We're actively building more AI features on top of that, so this list keeps growing.

Can I import my existing trade history?

Yes. CSV import and export are included on Basic and Pro, so you can bring over trades from a spreadsheet or another journal.

Do you support futures and options?

Yes. Stocks, options, and futures are all supported, including multi-leg fills and custom contract multipliers.

Can I cancel anytime?

Anytime, from the billing portal inside the app. You keep access through the end of your current billing period.
