Shibiki vs a Notion trading journal
Notion is a brilliant second brain, and plenty of traders build a journal template in it. But Notion was built for notes and databases — not for connecting to your broker, measuring your edge with any rigor, or doing anything about your risk in real time.
| Notion | Shibiki | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Notes & databases | Trading — connected to your broker |
| Trade logging | Manual entry into a database | Auto-synced from your broker |
| Edge stats (expectancy, profit factor) | DIY formulas & rollups — limited | Live, with a Wilson confidence interval |
| Real-time risk enforcement | None | Hard limits pushed to your broker |
| Daily-loss / drawdown alerts | Manual reminders | Live — before you breach |
| Consistency-rule tracking | Manual math | Tracked automatically |
| Multi-account / prop copier | A page per account, by hand | One master → every prop account |
| Charts & analytics | Basic database views | Equity curve, R-distribution, heatmaps |
| Cost | Free / paid notes tool | Free plan; paid tiers to scale |
Keep Notion for the story, use Shibiki for the numbers
There's real value in writing out your reasoning, your psychology, your plan — and Notion is lovely for that. Where it falls down is everything that has to be accurate and automatic: pulling every fill without manual entry, computing expectancy you can trust, and holding a hard risk line at the broker so a bad day can't sink a funded account. That's the part Shibiki does; the two happily coexist.
FAQ
Can I export from Notion into Shibiki?
You don't need to — Shibiki syncs trades directly from your broker, so there's no manual data to migrate. Keep your written notes in Notion if you like them there.
