Trading journal
A professional trading journal is the foundation of any trader’s discipline. It lets you meticulously record every trade, spot patterns in your behaviour and find the most profitable setups. Keeping detailed statistics opens the path to systematic earnings and removes the influence of emotion on your final result.
Hundreds of supported brokers
Import straight from MetaTrader 4/5, cTrader, NinjaTrader, Binance, Bybit, OKX, Interactive Brokers, Schwab and many more. Connect your source in minutes — no programming, no export gymnastics.
Automatic online import
Connect MT4/MT5 or cTrader in live mode and new trades appear in the journal the moment they close. No manual file exports, no clipboard juggling. The journal updates itself while you focus on trading.
Import from history and files
Load trade archives from terminal history or exported broker statements in a single click. XLS, CSV and native platform formats are supported — even decade-old trades land in their right place. No data is lost when switching brokers.
Flexible trade table
A professional table with sorting, multi-level grouping and advanced filters on every column. Drag columns around, reorder them, pin the important ones left or right. Stays smooth even on tens of thousands of trades.
Column manager
Full control over what shows up in the table: show, hide, rename columns, change alignment and width. Save multiple configurations for different tasks — analysis, reporting, daily review. One journal, dozens of distinct views.
Custom columns and tags
Add your own columns of any type: text, number, date, list, yes/no. Tag trades by strategy, setup, emotional state — anything you want. The journal grows with your trading approach.
Conditional row and cell formatting
Highlight trades by color under any condition: loss bigger than X, risk-rule violation, specific setup, time of day. Fine-grained rules with operators “=”, “>”, “contains” and many more. Problem trades catch your eye on their own.
Detailed trade card
A full form with sections: general parameters, orders, executions, tags, comments, screenshots, attached notes. Every detail of a single trade in one window — nothing scattered across screens. The card resizes and remembers your preferred dimensions.
Trade chart right in the row
Expand any trade and a chart opens beneath it with entry and exit markers over real quotes. The market context around the trade is visible instantly, no switching to a terminal. Understanding why you won or lost gets dramatically easier.
Screenshots and image gallery
Attach multiple screenshots of different timeframes to a trade: before entry, while in position, after exit. Built-in viewer, annotation editor, paste-from-clipboard and screen capture support. The visual history of every trade is always at hand.
Group by any field
Group trades by symbol, strategy, day of week, hour, month, year — or your own custom fields. Subtotals, aggregates and grand totals show P&L, volume, average and win rate per group. The structure of your trading is visible without extra calculations.
Merge and split trades
Did your broker export one position as a dozen partial fills? Merge them into one trade with a couple of clicks. Or do the opposite — split a large trade by the logic of its entries and exits. The journal reflects your real trading logic, not raw ticks.
Deposits, withdrawals and commissions
Dedicated forms for deposits, withdrawals and side transactions — the account balance always matches your broker. Commissions are tracked automatically, P&L is calculated net and in the deposit currency. The numbers in the journal match the broker dashboard.
Calculated metrics per trade
Gross, Net, % return, Risk/Reward, max risk and position duration are calculated automatically. Multi-currency support with conversion to the base account currency. You don’t just see “plus or minus” — you see the full math of each trade.
State and preset saving
All your table settings — column order, widths, filters, groupings, sortings — are saved automatically. Create named presets for different tasks and switch between them instantly. The journal always opens where you left it.
