Questions

We've got answers.

The things everyone wonders on day one. Still curious? Write to support@redstartjournal.com.

What does it cost?

Signing up, tracking your portfolio, your journal and the wallpapers come with the Basic plan, with no card to enter. Pro and Max add tools that check your decisions and professional analytics. Anything you already use on Basic stays on Basic.

What is Red Start Journal, in simple words?

A diary for your money. You write down what you buy and sell, and it shows how your investments are doing. The founder keeps their own real portfolio here in public, mistakes and all, so you can learn along with them.

I know nothing about investing. Can I still use it?

Absolutely, that's who it's made for. You only type what you bought, when, and for how much. The app does the maths: what it's worth now, how much you put in, the fees you paid and how much it grew.

Do I need to connect my bank or broker?

No. You add entries yourself, or import your whole history from a broker statement: Interactive Brokers, Zerodha, Groww and Angel One reports all work. We never ask for bank details, card numbers or broker passwords, and never touch your money.

Can other people see my portfolio?

No. Your journal is private and only you can see it when you're logged in. You choose which entries, if any, to share on Connect.

Will you tell me what to buy?

No, and please don't just copy the public portfolio. It shows what one person chose to do with their own money. It's a record to learn from, not a tip sheet or financial advice.

What does "Total return" (XIRR) mean?

How fast your money is growing, per year. It fairly counts when you added money, so a top-up last week isn't judged like one from years ago. Until your portfolio is a year old you'll see the plain total instead.

Which currencies can I see?

Euros, US dollars and Indian rupees. Switch any time; amounts are converted with public exchange rates.

Can I just talk to it?

Yes. Tap the microphone and say what you want: "I bought €500 of ASML today", "delete yesterday's fee" or "how am I doing?". Anything that changes your journal is shown to you to check before it's saved.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. It runs in your phone's web browser, so there's nothing to install.

How do I start?

Sign up with your email, or with Google in one tap. Then add your first trade.

Can I delete my account?

Any time, from your Profile page. Your account and every entry in it are deleted for good.
