Trade Journal for Traders: Learn From Every Trade You Close

Most traders who keep a journal stop after two weeks. The reason is simple: typing every number is boring. So we do that part for you.

What is filled in for you

• The instrument, side, entry and exit.
• Target and stop-loss, and which of the two was hit.
• The result in rupees and the outcome.
• A strategy placed together counts as one trade, with its legs listed under it.

What you add

Click a row and write your notes: why you took the trade, what you felt, what went right, what you would change. That is the part no software can do, and the part that makes you better.

Find patterns fast

• Pick a period: all time, day, week, month, quarter, half-year, year or financial year.
• Search a stock.
• Filter by setup, target hit, stop-loss hit or closed by hand, winners or losers, buy or sell, long or short, and “not written yet”.
• The My learning tab gathers every lesson you wrote on one page.
• Export to CSV for your own sheets.

A 20-minute weekly routine

1. 1
   Fill the gaps

   Filter “not written yet” and add a line to each trade.

2. 2
   Look at the losers

   Filter losers. Is there one cause that repeats?

3. 3
   Look at the winners

   What did you do right? Write it down so you can repeat it.

4. 4
   Pick one rule

   Choose one change for next week. Check it in your skill report.

The journal is the second tab of the Skill report page. It works on your Virtual account and a future live account, not on challenge or contest accounts.
