Comparison
LAYER 0 vs Tradervue: A Journal You Share vs a Gate You Can't Skip
Tradervue has been around since before most of its competitors existed, and its mentor/mentee sharing model is genuinely unusual in this category. It's also a journal, not a gate — worth being precise about before you pick one.
What Tradervue Actually Is
Tradervue is a two-tier journal: Silver ($29.95/mo) covers unlimited trade imports, unlimited trading accounts, broker sync, and advanced reporting; Gold ($49.95/mo) adds trade exit performance analysis, max potential P&L analysis, commission and fee support, and more storage for uploaded chart images. Both tiers include unlimited mentor/mentee connections — you can share specific trades with someone reviewing your work, which is a real point of difference from most journal tools.
A trial is available on either paid tier, but it starts with a card on file — Tradervue's own pricing page states your card is charged automatically once the trial ends unless you downgrade first. It's still a journal at its core: everything it does happens after a trade is already logged.

Sharing Isn't the Same as Stopping
Tradervue's mentor model is a real answer to a real problem — most traders never get another set of eyes on their trades at all. But a mentor reviewing your week is still reviewing history. Nothing in that loop touches the moment you're actually about to click buy on a trade you already know you shouldn't take.
LAYER 0 doesn't import your broker history or give you anyone else's eyes on your trades — that's a real gap against what Tradervue offers. What it does is ask you a question before the platform opens, and hold a genuine Stop verdict for the rest of the day if the answer says you shouldn't be trading right now.
