Lumen
MT5 trading journal — pay once, 100% local, no subscription
Most trading journals are web apps that store your data in the cloud and charge you monthly. Lumen does the opposite. A native Windows app that connects directly to MetaTrader 5 and auto-syncs every 30s — no CSV, no cloud. Win rate, profit factor, equity curve, drawdown, session breakdowns, all on one screen. Your data never leaves your machine. Solo: €69 once. Multi (unlimited): €149 once. After 3 months, already cheaper than any subscription. Early bird: first 100 customers only.
I've been trading for 5 years. For most of that time, I had no real idea how I was actually performing. I was stuck in cycles — overtrading after losses, giving back gains without even realizing it. The data was there in my MT5 history, I just had no way to see it.
I'm not a professional developer. I just couldn't find a tool that did what I needed — local, fast, no subscription, connected directly to MT5 — so I built it myself.
Lumen connects to your terminal and auto-syncs every 30s. You get the full dashboard (balance, equity curve, open positions, PnL calendar) plus the metrics that actually change how you trade — win rate, profit factor, expectancy, drawdown — broken down by symbol, session, weekday and direction. Everything stays on your machine. Nothing touches a cloud.
It's a one-time purchase (€69 solo / €149 unlimited accounts), 7-day refund, lifetime v1.x updates. Early bird is open for the first 100 customers.
I'd genuinely love feedback from the traders here: what's the one metric you wish your journal showed you? 🙏

Who hunted Lumen?
Lumen was hunted by Andy. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
