Comparison
LAYER 0 vs TradesViz: More Data Isn't the Same as a Gate
TradesViz is, by sheer volume, one of the most feature-dense journals available at its price. It's also a fair test case for a question worth asking about any analytics tool: does having more of the data actually change what you do at 9:31 AM tomorrow?
What You Get, and For How Little
The free tier covers stocks only, up to 3,000 executions a month, on a single account. Pro runs $14.99/mo billed annually and opens up multi-asset journaling — stocks, futures, options, forex, crypto — with real analytics depth and AI Q&A on your own data (20 queries a day). Platinum, at $22.49/mo annually, adds over 600 charts and statistics, a higher AI Q&A allowance (30 queries a day), second-level simulators across asset classes, options flow data, and even SEC 13F institutional positioning data. It also ships native iOS and Android apps, which most competitors in this category don't bother with.
Roughly $0.50–$0.75 a day for that much surface area is a legitimately good deal if what you need is analytics depth.

Volume of Data Isn't the Same Problem as Discipline
Six hundred charts can tell you exactly where your edge lives — which session, which setup, which time of day. That's a real and valuable answer to a real question. It is a different question from “should I take this specific trade right now, given how I actually feel.” No amount of historical charting answers that one, because it isn't a historical question — it's a question about the next ten minutes.
LAYER 0 doesn't compete on data volume, and doesn't try to. It exists for the specific moment a dashboard, however detailed, can't reach: the one right before you open the chart. Why LAYER 0 is built as two systems, not one →
