What I store, and what I never do
Last updated 21 July 2026. This page says exactly what data this site collects and why — no boilerplate, because there isn't much to say.
The short version: your actual trade journal entries — the instrument, your thesis, prices, P&L, notes, everything you type into the Trade Journal tool — stay in your own browser and are never sent to me. The free starter downloads straight to your device, so no email is captured to hand it over. If you subscribe to the newsletter, that runs on Substack — your email lives on Substack's servers under Substack's privacy policy, not here. This site itself stores nothing about you; account sign-in doesn't exist yet.
What's collected today
Your trade entries
Instrument, thesis, entry/exit price, position size, P&L, exit plan, state of mind, notes — everything in the Trade Journal tool is computed and stored only in your browser (localStorage). It is never transmitted to any server, by me or anyone else.
Newsletter email
The free starter downloads to your device client-side, so this site captures no email to deliver it. If you subscribe to the newsletter, that lives on Substack — Substack collects and stores your email on its own servers under its privacy policy, and I don't hold that list here. If account sign-in is ever added, the only field this site would store is your daily discipline grade — never the trade details behind it.
Your rights
Because this site itself stores nothing about you, these are simple:
- Newsletter email — your subscription is managed in Substack. You can update your address or unsubscribe from any email, or from your Substack account, at any time; Substack honours access and deletion requests under its own policy.
- Trade journal data — it lives only in your browser, so you control it directly: clear it from the tool or your browser storage whenever you like. There's nothing on my side to request, because none of it was ever sent to me.
- If sign-in is added later — the only thing this site would hold is your daily discipline grade, and you'll be able to ask me to show or delete it.
Questions? Email top10percenttrader@gmail.com — I respond within a reasonable time, and in any case within the timelines India's data protection law requires.
How I'd handle a security incident
Right now this site runs no user database — your trade journal sits in your own browser, and newsletter email is held by Substack, not here — so there's essentially nothing on my side to breach. If sign-in is ever added and the small store it creates (daily discipline grades) were compromised, I'd notify affected users and the relevant authority promptly. Because trade details never reach my servers in the first place, a breach here can't expose them; a breach of the newsletter list would be Substack's to disclose under its policy.
A note on what you type
Please don't type real account numbers, card numbers, or other payment details into any notes field in the Trade Journal tool — even though that data never leaves your browser, it's simply not needed for the journal to do its job, and it's good practice to keep such details out of any free-text field, anywhere.
