You can send one closed trade to someone who does not use Ledger of Alpha — a coach, a mentor or a trading group — as a read-only link. They see a single card for that trade and nothing else from your journal.
Creating a link
- Open the trade in the Journal and press the share button in its header (on a phone, open the journal entry). On desktop you can also use Share link in the trade's ⋮ menu on the Trades page. Both appear only on closed trades.
- Choose what the link shows and how long it lasts. The preview on the right is exactly what the reader will see.
- Press Create link, then Copy.
What the link shows
- Always: a quick card with the symbol and direction, the price move in large type, the R multiple, the entry and exit prices, the close date and a small price line with your entry and exit marked.
- Only if you tick it: your net P&L in dollars. It is off by default.
- Never: your notes, your position size, your account name or balance, your email, or any other trade.
- The card carries a QR code that opens the Ledger of Alpha website.
Why only closed trades
An open or planned trade is a live position. A public card with its entry, stop and target would read as a trade call, so the share button does not appear until the trade is closed.
Editing a trade after sharing it
A link is a snapshot of the trade at the moment you created it. Editing the trade afterwards does not change what the link shows. To share the updated version, create a new link and revoke the old one.
Expiry and revoking
- A link lasts 7, 30 or 90 days, or until you revoke it. The default is 30 days.
- Revoke a link from the share dialog, or from Settings → Security → Shared links, which lists every link you have created. A revoked link stops working immediately.
- Deleting the trade also stops every link to it.
- Links are never listed in search engines.
