Trademetria is a long established general purpose trading journal covering stocks, futures, foreign exchange, options and cryptocurrency, with a free plan for lower trade volumes and paid Basic and Pro tiers advertised at nineteen dollars ninety five and twenty nine dollars ninety five per month, or one hundred and sixty nine and two hundred and forty nine dollars annually, as published on its pricing page in August 2026.
GoldHunts is free throughout for gold. There is no trade cap on XAUUSD journaling, no card required and no gold feature behind a paywall, and the analytics assume gold from the first calculation: one hundred ounces per standard lot, spread cost stated in dollars per round turn, and every execution attributed to the London window of 07:00 to 16:00 UTC or the New York window of 12:00 to 21:00 UTC.
Because both have a free entry point, price should be the last consideration rather than the first. The decisive question is trade volume and instrument mix: a trader taking a handful of gold trades a month inside a mixed portfolio is well served by a simple general journal, while a high volume XAUUSD trader needs uncapped journaling and spread cost measured per round turn, because that cost, not direction, is what usually decides whether gold scalping is viable.
