Why UK traders end up with the wrong tools
Almost every well-known trading journal is built in the US. That shows up in small, daily frictions: prices in dollars that shift with the exchange rate and pick up a foreign-transaction fee, month-first dates that quietly mis-import your history, and support hours that land while you're asleep. None of it is fatal, but it's a steady reminder that the tool wasn't made for you.
Exhibit A was built in the UK by a trader who ran into exactly that. Trades lived in a Google Sheet, mistakes in Notion, position sizing in a separate dollar-priced app — three tools, none of them talking, and a journal that got abandoned after a fortnight. This is the one platform that replaces all three, priced in pounds and built to read your data the way you enter it.
What "priced in pounds" actually saves you
When a journal bills in US dollars, two things happen every month. Your card provider converts at their rate, and many add a foreign-transaction fee of roughly 2–3% on top. On a dollar subscription that's a few pounds a year you never agreed to, plus a bill that changes with the exchange rate. Exhibit A quotes and charges in GBP, so the price is fixed and there's nothing to convert.
- £19/mo — billed in pounds, cancel anytime.
- £97 founding lifetime — one payment in pounds for the first 50 members, then it moves to the monthly plan.
- Free plan — £0, no card, no time limit.
Terms follow UK consumer law: clear pricing, a straightforward cancellation, and no fake countdowns or invented scarcity — any "first 50" number you see is the real one.
Built to read UK data
The single most common way a journal import breaks for a UK trader is the date. Write 03/07/2026 and a US-built importer reads it as 7 March, silently scrambling your timeline. Exhibit A's column matcher expects day-first dates and comma-grouped numbers, so your existing spreadsheet comes in intact. Export your Google Sheet or broker history to CSV, drop it in, and a couple of minutes later your whole record is charted and searchable.
