Your journal: trades, sessions, calendar and notebook

Updated September 6, 2026

The Journal has four tabs. They are four views of one set of trades, not four places your data lives, so nothing you do in one of them has to be repeated in another.

Trades

The ledger. One row per fill, exactly as your broker reported it, with entry, exit, size, session and account. This is the page to reconcile against a broker statement, because it is the only surface that does not group mirrored fills into decisions.

Opening a row opens that trade's drawer, where its review and notes live.

Sessions

One day at a time, reviewed as a whole: what the money did through the day, which decisions made it, how they were graded, which of your rules survived, and how close the daily loss limit came. Your written session review lives here.

This is the tab to use after the close. A day is the unit you actually review.

Calendar

The month grid. Each cell is a trading day coloured by its result, so a run of red days or a limit hit is visible without reading anything. Clicking a day takes you into that day's trades.

Notebook

One searchable list of everything you have written, both kinds together: session reviews from the Sessions tab and trade notes from the Trades drawer. It stores nothing new. It indexes what you already wrote, so a lesson from three weeks ago is findable without remembering which day or which trade it was attached to.

Search runs in the database over the window you have selected, not over the page in front of you.

The scope controls apply to all four

The date pills and the phase and account selectors in the header narrow every tab. If a tab looks emptier than you expect, check the window before checking your data.

The Trades tab renders up to 5,000 rows and says so when your scope holds more, for example "showing first 5,000 of 7,812". It is a display ceiling on that one page, nothing else. No trade is deleted, hidden, or left out of your statistics, and the totals in the header are computed over the whole scope rather than over the rows on screen.

If you see that message, narrow the date range or filter by account.

Risk Disclosure

Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one's financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect trading results.
