Trader’s Journal – a Windows trading journal I built after 10 years of day trading

    You said other journals never showed you the results that really mattered, yet I don’t see much differentiating it from those journals. How is yours different, aside from the intentional lack of features (no manual entry, no edit, etc)?

    I chose no manual entry and no editing because it stops you from cheating yourself, and it also protects your data from mistakes, like clicking the wrong thing or erasing data by accident. It’s different because it shows only the data that matters, not a bunch of graphics and statistics that don’t. It also has data that shows the psychology and patterns of the trader. The price matters too. When traders start, they don’t have much money, and many end up skipping the journal, which is the most important tool for any trader. Trading already has many costs, like scanners, platforms, and broker fees. This journal gives you what you need at a price you can afford. You get 15 days to try it with no card needed. Please test it and let me know what you think.

    Again, what is the data that matters?

    the dashboard layout looks clean, nice work putting all that together after so many years trading. i always find it interesting how much you can learn from your own numbers when they're in front of you like that. the drawdown being bigger than the biggest gain stands out, something i struggled with too until i started tracking it properly. does the calendar view let you tag days with notes, like if you were tilted or trading on little sleep? that was the game changer for me, seeing how my mental state affected the p&l.

    Thanks for looking. It’s $80 per year, not per month, which is about $6.67 a month. This is the program every trader should have, because journaling is the most important part of the job. The math doesn’t lie to you. You can try it free for 15 days, with no card needed, and see for yourself.
