How to use it

Using the Trading Journal in 4 steps

  1. 1Click "Log Trade" after every position you close and fill in entry, exit, size, and risk details.
  2. 2Attach a chart screenshot if you have one — it's compressed automatically so it never bloats your account.
  3. 3Note your strategy, session, emotion, and any mistakes while the trade is still fresh in your mind.
  4. 4Watch your win rate, profit factor, drawdown, and streaks update automatically as your trade log grows.

Why it matters

What this does for your trading

  • Turns scattered trade memories into hard numbers — you see exactly what's working and what isn't.
  • Surfaces your best trading session and best weekday so you can focus effort where you actually perform.
  • Emotion and mistake tracking exposes the behavioral leaks that a P/L number alone never shows.
