How to use it

Using the Strategies in 4 steps

  1. 1Click "New strategy" and give it a name — it's created inline, no separate form.
  2. 2Tag it on Journal trades as you log them, and on Backtest sessions when you run one.
  3. 3Come back here to see live Journal performance side-by-side with backtested performance for the same strategy.
  4. 4Use the comparison to see whether a strategy is actually holding up in real trading, or only looked good in the backtest.

Why it matters

What this does for your trading

  • Turns "I think this strategy works" into a real win rate, net P/L, and R:R comparison.
  • Flags strategies whose live results are drifting from their backtested numbers early, before more capital rides on them.
  • One strategy list shared everywhere it's used — Journal, Backtest, Trading Desk's Trading Plan, and account creation.

Settings for this tool

What you can customize via Settings
