Why Keep a Trading Journal

The single biggest difference between traders who improve and traders who stay stuck is whether they actually review their own results. A journal turns vague feelings, "I've been doing okay," "I keep losing on breakouts," into hard numbers you can act on: your real win rate, which setups actually make money, and which ones just feel good in the moment but bleed your account slowly.

Every metric on this page is calculated directly from the trades you log, nothing is estimated or simulated. Profit factor above 1.5, a positive expectancy, and a rising equity curve are the signs of an edge that's actually working. A flat or declining equity curve, even with a high win rate, is a signal worth investigating before it gets worse.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is my journal data actually stored?+
Everything you log is saved directly in your own browser's local storage on this device, nothing is sent to or stored on our servers. This keeps your trading data completely private, but it also means it won't automatically appear on a different device or browser. Use the Export Backup button regularly, and Import Backup to bring your data to another device.
What is R-multiple and why does it matter?+
R-multiple expresses your profit or loss as a multiple of what you risked on the trade. If you risked $100 (the distance from entry to your stop loss, times position size) and made $250, that's a 2R winner. Thinking in R lets you compare trades of different sizes fairly, a small account trade and a large account trade can both be evaluated the same way.
What's a good profit factor?
Profit factor is your total gross wins divided by your total gross losses. A profit factor of 1.0 means you're breaking even before fees. Most consistently profitable traders aim for 1.5 or higher, meaning for every $1 lost, at least $1.50 is won. Below 1.0 means your strategy is losing money over time, regardless of how it feels day to day.
Why log my mindset, not just the numbers?
Many trading losses trace back to a mental state, not a bad setup: revenge trading after a loss, FOMO into a move that's already run, or overconfidence after a winning streak. Tracking mindset alongside your numbers often reveals a pattern, for example, trades taken in a "revenge" state losing far more often, that price data alone would never show you.
Can I edit or delete a trade after logging it?
Yes. In the Trade Log tab, click the pencil icon on any row to load it back into the form for editing, or the trash icon to delete it permanently. Deletions cannot be undone, so export a backup first if you want to keep a copy.
Can I import trades directly from my broker?
Yes. Export your trade history as a CSV from your broker (usually under Account History, Statements, or Reports), then use the Import CSV tab. The tool auto-detects common column names, and you can fix any mismatches before importing. No live account connection is required or stored.
Can I track multiple brokers or accounts in one journal?
Yes. Every trade has an Account field, type a name like "Tradovate Futures" or "Robinhood Stocks" when logging or importing, and use the Account filter in the Trade Log to view any single account or all of them combined.
