About this section

What this section shows and how to use it

A trading journal that keeps itself. You add an exchange key with read-only rights and your trade history is pulled in automatically: entry, exit, size, result. Nothing has to be retyped by hand.

From the accumulated history it calculates statistics: the share of winning trades, average win and average loss, best and worst instruments, how results spread across hours of the day and days of the week. These are numbers you cannot see while trades sit scattered in the exchange terminal.

The point of a journal is not bookkeeping but review. A repeating mistake only shows up across a sample: for example, that losses cluster in the same hours, or that profit is eaten by a few large trades against the trend. Without a record such patterns stay invisible.

The key is read-only: it cannot place an order or withdraw funds. Part of the journal can be made public and shown on your profile, or it can stay entirely private.

Frequently asked questions

Why keep a trading journal?

To see patterns that a single trade cannot show: which hours you lose in, which instruments earn, how results change after a losing streak. Memory distorts this, a record does not.

Do I have to fill it in manually?

No. History is pulled in via a read-only exchange key. You only add comments and tags by hand, if you want them.

Is it safe to give an exchange key?

The key is read-only: it cannot open a position or withdraw funds. Trading and withdrawal rights are neither needed nor advisable.

Which metrics are calculated?

Win rate, average win and loss, risk to reward, best and worst instruments, distribution over time, plus the overall equity curve.

Who can see my journal?

By default only you. Individual sections can be made public for your profile, or left closed entirely.
