TradeTally Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy TradeTally hosting and keep your trade history, analytics and diary on a server you control. xCloud runs the pinned TradeTally 2.13.0 image with a private Postgres 16 database, generates the database password, JWT secret and broker encryption key, mounts persistent volumes and publishes the journal over HTTPS in minutes. The first account you register becomes the administrator, and later sign-ups wait for approval.

What is TradeTally?

TradeTally is an open-source trading journal and analytics platform with a Vue.js frontend and a Node.js backend. You import or record your trades, then review performance, charts and patterns across brokers.

Upstream offers a hosted service at tradetally.io and a self-hosted option; the self-hosted edition is free and open source, with all Pro features included. This page covers running it yourself on an xCloud server.

From Sign-Up to a Live Trading Journal In Just 3 Easy Steps

A TradeTally stack normally means an app container, a private Postgres database, generated secrets, four volumes, a domain and a certificate before the first trade is imported. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick TradeTally from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server — there are no extra fields to fill in.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up TradeTally 2.13.0 and a private Postgres 16 database kept off the public internet, mount the uploads, data, logs and database volumes, generate the database password, JWT secret and broker encryption key, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Register And Import Trades
Open your HTTPS TradeTally URL and register your account straight away — the first account becomes the administrator. Then import a CSV of trades from your broker or add your first trade by hand.

Everything TradeTally Does, On Your Own Server

TradeTally runs in full here: a trading journal with broker imports, charts and analytics, backed by a database you own.

Broker CSV Import
Import trades from broker files; upstream lists Lightspeed, Charles Schwab, ThinkorSwim, IBKR, E*TRADE and ProjectX.
Performance Analytics
Review performance with charts that break results down by hold time, day of week, sector and more.
Trade Charts
Interactive candlestick charts with entry and exit markers show each trade in context.
Trading Diary
Keep notes on your trading in a diary that supports image uploads, stored on your own server.
Approval-Mode Sign-Ups
Every account after the first needs administrator approval, so strangers cannot simply register.
Private Postgres Included
Postgres 16 is reachable only inside the install's private network, with no published port.

TradeTally vs Alternatives

TradeTally's hosted service: Upstream also runs tradetally.io as a hosted platform; self-hosting on xCloud keeps the data on a server you control.
Spreadsheet journals: A spreadsheet is free and flexible but has no built-in broker import, trade charts or diary; TradeTally provides those.
Actual Budget: A budgeting app rather than a trading journal; useful alongside TradeTally for personal money, not a replacement for trade analytics.

Hear what people are saying about us

See why agencies, developers, startups, and growing businesses choose xCloud to power their projects.

xCloud works really well, I am surprised by its performance being this the release version, I have tried many paid platforms such as runcloud, cloudpages or serveravatar, as well as free platforms such as CyberPanel, CloudPanel or Hestia Control Panel and direct competitors such as SpinupWP and FlyWP. Of all those that I have tried, the platform that works best for WordPress is SpinupWP and I believe that xCloud can reach and surpass that development, its roadmap is promising. Congratulations to the xCloud team, I hope they become the leading platform in the segment, it has all the potential to achieve it!

Brian Geovanny

I've been with runcloud for the last 3 years. However, after trying xcloud for the last month, I'm switching over. They are on a roll with their setup.

Kevin Pineda

I'm moving my servers to xCloud, a cloud control panel by M Asif Rahman and the WPDeveloper team. Their roadmap looks interesting and no, there are no team mates nor API limits with xCloud! #xCloud #wordpress #hosting

How Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud

Ed Ellingham

xCloud is like having an expert server team on call — without the big agency costs. It's given me back my time and given my clients peace of mind. Highly recommended for freelancers and small teams who want reliable performance and security.

Dumitru Butucel

xCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.

Waqar Ahmed

Trust me when I say, once people explore the potential of xCloud they gonna switch from other panels, just keep delivering the best tech, lots of love for the team 😍😍

Rahul Singh

So far my experience has been smooth like silk. I didn't imagine that configuring and managing a VPS would be so easy. As of today, I have deployed 8 sites. The support is good, and they treat users with respect, even if they ask stupid questions (myself included). For the future, I hope for greater flexibility in scheduled backups and more comprehensive and consistent documentation. I'm sure that within a few months, xCloud will become the leader in its segment. This community is amazing, and the Staff here is super helpful.

Massimo Villa

Came from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.

Gerson El

I've recently taken all of my Vultr-hosted sites and gotten rid of cPanel for them to substitute it with xCloud. I have to say, I'm really impressed with xCloud so far! The interface is definitely the standout feature for me.

Tony Lewis

I came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.

Jared McDowell

I like xCloud better than RunCloud, but one thing I'll point out is that some years ago RunCloud was hungry for business, the support was outstanding, and the community was active and helped each other. Maybe it was sold, there was a change in management, or they stopped being hungry, but the quality of the RunCloud offering declined and it hasn't been moving forward quickly. My point is that currently the xCloud team has the edge and it is theirs to keep or lose

How Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently

Kevin Heinrichs

I had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.

Dan Spinoza

Dear xCloud Team, I have been using xCloud for some time now and am genuinely impressed with its capabilities and the flexibility it offers by allowing users to bring their own VPS for management. It's a fantastic service, and my experience so far has been very positive. Successful migrated 5 sites on a single server. Xcloud migration tool worked great. There were few hiccups with security plugin like MalCare but disabling the plugin prior to migration worked just fine.

Rahil Maknojia

Came from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

xCloud gave me what no other hosting platform could: the flexibility of a VPS with the convenience of managed WordPress. As a solo founder running an entire business on one server, that combination is an important unfair advantage.

Jorge de los Reyes Martínez

I use Server Avatar and xCloud and I'll sooner use xCloud than Server Avatar personally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

How do I sign in?

Can strangers sign up?

Registration is in approval mode, so every account after the first waits for the administrator to approve it. Register your own account straight after install, because the first account is the one that becomes administrator.

What runs alongside TradeTally?

A private Postgres 16 container. It has no published port and is reachable only inside the install's private network.

Do I need a market-data key?

Not to import and review trades. Market-data features need your own provider API key, such as FINNHUB_API_KEY or FMP_API_KEY, added in the Environment editor.

Does email work out of the box?

No. Email is off until you add the EMAIL_* settings in the Environment editor; without it, verification and password-reset emails are not sent.

What should I back up?

The four named volumes (uploads, data, logs and database) and the generated secrets. In-app backups are written to the data volume on the same server, so copy them elsewhere too.

Backups in xCloud

Why must I keep the generated secrets?

JWT_SECRET signs login sessions, so changing it signs everyone out. BROKER_ENCRYPTION_KEY encrypts stored broker tokens, so connected brokers must be re-linked if it changes. DB_PASSWORD is read only on the first start of the database, so editing it later does not rotate it.

What happens if I change the domain?

FRONTEND_URL and INSTANCE_URL follow the site domain automatically. Passkeys are tied to the domain they were registered on, so they stop working if you change it.

What survives a restart?

Trades, uploads, backups and the database. In QA a trade was still present and login still worked after both containers were restarted.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update TradeTally?

No. The template pins TradeTally 2.13.0 by immutable digest; new installations use the pinned release and existing sites are not automatically upgraded. Back up first, read the upstream release notes, then bump the readable tag and digest together on your own schedule. Server-level backups and snapshots are available on every Cloud VPS.

What are the server requirements, and why does this page sell 6 GB?

The template's baseline asks for 1 CPU core, 512 MB of RAM and 5 GB of disk; measured idle use in QA was about 170 MiB across both containers. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that baseline.

Is xCloud officially partnered with TradeTally?

No. No official partnership or endorsement between xCloud and the TradeTally project has been verified. This is a deployment and server-management option for the open-source TradeTally project.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no lock-in — cancel any time. Hosting is billed monthly and charged for what you actually use, so when you delete the server the unused balance is refunded to your account, less up to 10% in payment-processing fees.
