Journaling and reviewing trades

Add notes, ratings, mistakes, and lessons to build discipline.

The edge in a journal isn't the numbers — it's the review. Every trade has a Journal & Review section for the context a price can't capture.

What you can capture

  • Notes & lessons — the hero field; write what happened and what you'd do differently.
  • Rating — grade your execution independent of the outcome.
  • Market context and mood — the conditions and headspace you traded in.
  • Strategy & checklist — which setup, and whether you followed your rules.
  • Mistakes — tag recurring errors so the analytics can total their cost.

Why it pays off

Mistakes and checklist adherence feed the Reports page — you'll see the dollar cost of specific mistakes and how discipline correlates with results. Tagging honestly is what makes those reports useful.
