Forex is modeled as forex, in lots

Astro Trade treats forex as its own instrument, not a stock wearing a different label. Trades are recorded in lots with the contract size that matches the symbol, so a EUR/USD position is sized and valued the way you actually traded it.

Every instrument keeps the sizing that fits it, instead of forcing everything into one model: stocks in shares, futures in contracts with a point value, crypto in units, plus stock and futures CFDs.

Sync from your broker

Connect MetaTrader 5, TradeLocker, or Interactive Brokers and Astro Trade syncs your forex trades automatically, so the journal fills itself instead of asking you to retype fills. Broker connection is handled server-side, and it is the premium surface; the core journal stays free.

Each position comes in as lots with its contract size, along with the pair and direction, and its result is kept in the currency it settled in, so a yen-quoted cross and a dollar major still add up correctly side by side.

Review by pair, setup, and direction

Group your results by pair, direction, setup, and playbook to see the things that actually shape a forex account: whether majors suit you better than crosses, how EUR/USD stacks up against GBP/JPY, and whether your shorts hold up as well as your longs.

Tag each trade with the setup behind it, gather related setups into playbooks, and leave a short note when a pair did something worth remembering.
