Journal — track trades and learn what actually works
A trade journal that closes the loop. It logs your trades, computes your real performance, detects your behavioural patterns — and captures the market context at entry automatically, so you can finally answer which setups make you money.
Why it exists
Most traders journal in a spreadsheet or a standalone tool, copy-pasting entry, exit and a vague note. The problem is that none of it captures why you took the trade — what the market actually looked like at entry — so you can never properly answer the question that matters: which conditions make you money, and which quietly bleed your account.
Journal fixes that by living inside the platform. When you open a trade from the planner, the market context at that moment is captured with it — so later you can slice your performance by what the system was actually saying when you entered.
What you get
The four tabs
| Tab | What it gives you |
|---|---|
| Trades | A full log — date, asset, side, entry, exit, size, P&L, realized R:R and tags, with filters, inline edit and CSV export |
| Performance | Win rate, profit factor, average R:R, max drawdown, Sharpe, expectancy, an equity curve, and breakdowns by asset, tag, hour and day |
| Insights | Auto-detected patterns in plain language — loss aversion, revenge trading, overtrading windows, your strongest timeframe |
| Rules | Your own discipline rules, with violations flagged in Performance and their P&L cost quantified |
The Insights tab surfaces behaviour you'd never spot in a spreadsheet: "you hold winners too short," "you revenge trade after losses," "your discipline degrades after 5pm," "you're overtrading on Mondays." Naming the pattern is the first step to fixing it.
Closed-loop learning
Because the market context is captured at entry, the Performance tab can answer questions a standalone journal simply can't — like how your trades perform when the verdict was strong versus merely leaning, versus neutral. That turns journaling from record-keeping into a feedback loop: you discover that your high-conviction setups win far more often, and you adjust what you take. Rule violations are flagged too, with the actual P&L they cost you, so discipline becomes measurable rather than aspirational.
Journal is the "learn" end of the loop. Trades planned in Strategy Lab carry their context in; the Market Intelligence verdict at entry is captured automatically; and over time the Insights tab tells you which signals to trust — feeding back into how you set up Alerts. Find, plan, review, improve — a closed system.
