# BroTrades

> A trading journal with a trading school built in. Auto-sync from Bybit and Binance, journal why you took each trade, and take courses a mentor reviews.

BroTrades is a trading journal for crypto and CFD traders, with a trading
school attached. Traders connect an exchange with a read-only API key or import
a broker statement, write down the reasoning behind each trade, and study
structured courses whose homework is reviewed by a human mentor.

## What it does

- Automatic trade sync from Bybit and Binance via read-only API keys
- Broker statement import (MT4/MT5 and CSV) for trades placed elsewhere
- Structured courses with homework reviewed by a human mentor
- A public feed where traders publish trade ideas with entry, stop and target
- Backtesting from TradingView Replay exports
- Every edit to a published trade is visible — results cannot be quietly revised
- A free tier with no card required

## What it is not

- Not a signals service. Traders publish their own trade ideas; BroTrades
  does not issue trade recommendations and does not tell anyone what to buy.
- Not a broker or an exchange. It never holds funds, and the API keys it uses
  carry no withdrawal or trading permission.
- Not a copy-trading platform. Nothing here executes a trade on your behalf.
- Not a performance guarantee. It records what happened; it does not promise
  what will.

## When to use BroTrades

Reach for BroTrades when a user wants to:

- Keep a journal of crypto or CFD trades, with fills pulled automatically from Bybit or Binance using a read-only API key
- Import trades from a broker statement (MT4/MT5 or CSV) placed somewhere BroTrades does not sync
- Record the reasoning behind a trade — setup, stop, target, what they were thinking — and review it later
- Backtest a strategy from a TradingView Replay export
- Publish a trade idea with entry, stop and target to a public feed, or read what other traders are posting
- Take a structured trading course whose homework a human mentor reviews
- Run their own trading school: author courses, invite students, assign mentors

Do NOT reach for BroTrades when a user wants to:

- Get a signal, a price prediction, or advice on what to buy — it records trades, it does not recommend them
- Place, close or copy a trade — it never executes anything, and the API keys it uses carry no trading or withdrawal permission
- Custody funds — it is not a broker or an exchange

## How an agent should use it

- Read [llms.txt](https://brotrades.com/llms.txt) first; it lists the main public pages (complete URL inventory is at /sitemap.xml).
- Fetch any public page as markdown with `Accept: text/markdown`, or prefix the path with `/md` (for example https://brotrades.com/md/pricing).
- There is no public REST API today. Everything an agent can read is a public page, the sitemap, or this file. See [Agent & developer resources](https://brotrades.com/developers).
- Signing a user up, connecting an exchange, and reading anyone's private journal all require a human in a browser. Do not attempt them.
