What is a Trade Journal?

The best traders in the world keep detailed journals to identify patterns in their behavior and continuously improve.

Why Professional Traders Keep a Journal
Studies show that traders who keep detailed journals are significantly more profitable than those who don't. A trading journal provides accountability, helps identify patterns, and creates a feedback loop for continuous improvement.
"The difference between successful traders and unsuccessful ones is that successful traders keep records."
— Van K. Tharp, Trading Psychology Expert
Frequently Asked Questions
What is R-multiple in trading?
R-multiple measures your profit or loss relative to your initial risk. If you risk $100 (1R) and make $300 profit, your R-multiple is +3R. This normalizes performance across different position sizes and helps you evaluate trades objectively.
Is my trade data private?
Yes, 100%. All data is stored locally in your browser using localStorage. Nothing is sent to any server. You can export your data to CSV anytime for backup or analysis in Excel.
What markets does this journal support?
Our trade journal works for all markets: Forex, stocks, cryptocurrency, futures, options, and commodities. Simply enter the instrument symbol and your trade details.
What should I include in each journal entry?
A complete entry includes: instrument, direction (long/short), entry and exit prices, position size, stop loss and take profit, your reasoning for the trade, emotional state, and post-trade review notes. Screenshots of your chart setup are also valuable.
