The Journal

The trade arrives on its own. The journal entry is where you write down why you took it, and what it taught you.

Creating an Entry

Start a new entry from the Journal page, or from a trade in the trade log so the numbers are carried across. An entry holds the symbol, direction, prices, lot size, your reasoning and a chart.

Symbol and directionFilled from the trade when you start from one; chosen by you for a manual entry.
Entry, take profit, exitShown on one line on the card, so the shape of the trade reads at a glance.
Lot sizeCarried through to your average-lot statistic.
R multipleCalculated from the result, and shown as a badge beside the direction.
Bias and killzoneBullish, bearish or ranging, and the session the trade belongs to.
ChartA TradingView snapshot, shown 16:9, which you can zoom and pan in place.
DescriptionYour own words. This is the part worth being honest in.

Tags, Bias and Killzones

Tags sit above the chart as badges: the killzone (Asian, London, New York), the bias, and anything you add yourself. They exist so you can answer questions later — whether your London trades pay for your New York ones, whether a bias you hold is worth holding.

Auditing a Trade

Every entry can be marked good or bad. This is deliberately not a rating out of five: a trade either followed your process or it did not, and the split between the two is what the statistics track. A winning trade you should never have taken is a bad trade.

Audit status feeds the statistics

The journal’s audit figures, average R, average lot and score index all count manual entries alongside synced ones, so a hand-written entry is a first-class citizen.

Finding an Entry Again

  • Search reaches every field on the entry — symbol, tags, bias, killzone, prices and the description itself.
  • The grid pages twenty entries at a time, newest first.
  • The date filter narrows the page to a range, and the statistics above follow it.

Editing and Deleting

Edit from the card’s top-left controls. Deleting asks for confirmation first, and cannot be undone — the entry goes, though the underlying synced trade stays in your trade log.

Sharing a Reviewed Trade

Any closed trade can be published as a card carrying a QR code that resolves back to it. See share cards.
