Frequently Asked

Common questions about trading journals

Everything you need to know about journaling your trades and improving performance.

What is a trading journal and why do I need one?

A trading journal is a systematic record of your trades, emotions, strategy notes, and outcomes. Research consistently shows that traders who journal perform significantly better over time — they identify edge, eliminate repeating mistakes, and build the discipline needed for consistent profitability.

What should I track in my trading journal?

At minimum: instrument, direction (long/short), entry price, exit price, position size, and net P&L. Advanced traders also record: setup type, risk/reward ratio, market conditions, emotional state, screenshots of entry/exit, and adherence to their trading plan. Trade Journal's custom templates let you capture all of this.

Is Trade Journal free to use?

Yes — completely free. Create an account with just your email address and start logging trades immediately. No subscription, no credit card, no hidden fees.

Does Trade Journal work for forex, stocks, crypto, and options?

Yes. Trade Journal is instrument-agnostic. Log trades for any market — equities, ETFs, futures, forex pairs, cryptocurrencies, and options contracts. You can manage separate accounts per market so analytics stay clean.

Can I use Trade Journal for funded account challenges (FTMO, MyFundedFX, etc.)?

Absolutely. Create a dedicated account for each funded programme. Track your current drawdown and daily loss in real-time so you never accidentally breach the rules of your challenge.

What analytics and performance metrics does Trade Journal calculate?

Trade Journal tracks: win rate %, profit factor, total net P&L, gross profit & loss, average winner vs average loser, R-multiple, maximum drawdown, Sharpe approximation, best/worst trade, performance by symbol, and equity curve over selectable time ranges.

How do custom log templates work?

You create a template with any combination of fields: short text, long-form notes, checkboxes, and image uploads. You then assign that template to one or more of your trading accounts. Every time you log a trade on that account, the extra template fields appear automatically — none are mandatory.

How does Trade Journal handle chart screenshots?

Use the image field type in a custom log template. When logging a trade, click Upload Image to attach a chart screenshot. Images are stored securely in Amazon S3 and displayed inline when reviewing that trade.

Is my trading data private and secure?

Yes. All data is stored in an encrypted database. Access is protected by OTP email authentication. We do not sell, share, or analyse your personal trading data with any third party.

How do I start improving my win rate with Trade Journal?

Use the Analytics dashboard to identify which setups, sessions, and instruments produce positive expectancy. Filter losing trades to find common mistakes. Over weeks and months, your equity curve and profit factor will reveal whether your edge is improving — objectively, without guesswork.
