By creating an account or using Alpha Journal (the "app", "we", "us"), you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the app. These Terms contain a binding arbitration clause and class-action waiver in Section 11 that affect your legal rights — please read them.
Alpha Journal lets you log trades, review statistics and discipline metrics, attach screenshots, and receive AI-based behavioral coaching and optional notifications. Features may change over time.
You must provide a valid email and keep your login secure. You're responsible for activity under your account. You must be at least 17 years old.
"Your Content" means everything you create or upload in the app — trades, notes, setups, emotions, screenshots, and feedback.
Alpha Journal uses artificial intelligence. Coaching messages, reflections, debriefs, calendar explanations, and daily affirmations are generated automatically by an AI model (provided by Anthropic), based on the trading data and notes you submit.
Some features require Alpha Journal Pro. This is an auto-renewing subscription. One subscription period is one month, and the price is US$9.99 per month, or the equivalent in your local currency, which is shown to you before you confirm. It renews automatically at the same price until you cancel. You keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for, and we do not refund partial periods.
Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your Apple Account is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before the current period ends.
To manage or cancel: open Settings on your device, tap your name, tap Subscriptions, and choose Alpha Journal. You can also get there from inside the app: tap the account icon at the top-right of any screen and choose Manage subscription.
Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription, and neither does deleting your Alpha Journal account. Apple, not us, controls billing for purchases made through the App Store, so we cannot cancel one on your behalf. To stop being charged you must cancel in Settings › your name › Subscriptions. If you would like help with this, email us and we will walk you through it.
In some regions checkout is handled by Stripe instead. You enter your card details on Stripe's secure checkout page — Alpha Journal never receives or stores your card number.
To manage or cancel: tap the account icon in the app and choose Manage subscription, which opens Stripe's billing portal, where you can change your card, view invoices, or cancel. You can also use the billing link in your Stripe receipt email, or contact us and we will cancel it for you. For Stripe subscriptions only, deleting your Alpha Journal account also cancels billing automatically.
The app is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don't guarantee that statistics, AI output, or third-party market data are accurate, complete, current, or error-free, or that the app will be uninterrupted or secure.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any trading or investment losses, for any loss of data or Your Content, or for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the app. Our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to the app will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or US$50.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Alpha Journal and its operators from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of Your Content, your use of the app, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
You may stop using the app and delete your account any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including 4, 7, 8, 9, 11) survive.
Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights.
a. Informal resolution first. Before starting any formal proceeding, you agree to contact us at [email protected] and give us 30 days to resolve the dispute informally. Most concerns can be handled this way.
b. Binding arbitration. If we can't resolve a dispute informally, you and we agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the app will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, except as stated below. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, and may take place by phone, video, or written submissions where allowed.
c. Class-action waiver. You and we agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims.
d. Small-claims & IP exception. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual-property rights.
e. 30-day opt-out. You can opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing [email protected] with the subject "Arbitration Opt-Out" within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. If you opt out, disputes go to the courts identified in Section 12.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to Section 11, the state and federal courts located in or serving Isle of Wight County, Virginia will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute not subject to arbitration.
We may update these Terms; continued use after an update means you accept the revised Terms. If we make a material change to Section 11 (arbitration), you may reject it by notifying us within 30 days.
