Journal overview
Every closed trade auto-syncs into a structured journal you can annotate and review — no manual entry.
The journal at /journal is where every closed trade from your connected accounts lands automatically, ready to be documented and reviewed. Trada records the execution; you add the context.
Sync every closed trade automatically
Trada pulls closed trades from your connected accounts and lists them at /journal, newest first. There is no trade to type in and no form to fill — the execution data arrives from the platform.
Execution fields (P&L, entry and exit prices, volume, open and close times) are read-only. They come straight from the connected account and cannot be edited or deleted inside Trada.
New trades appear after you press Sync in the table header, or on the next page load. Trada does not stream trades in real time.
Trade times are stored in UTC and shown in your account timezone. P&L is displayed in USD, always signed (for example
+120.45,-34.10).
Read your KPIs at a glance
The Trades tab shows four summary cards above the table. They always reflect your complete history — filters applied to the table below do not change them.
Trades Documented
Completion percentage and a documented-vs-total count (for example 34/56 Documented)
A trade counts as documented once it has at least one of: notes, rating, emotion, or setup type saved
Average Trade Rating
Mean star rating across rated trades, with a five-star fill
Only trades you have rated are included; hover a star to see how many trades carry that rating
Average Emotional State
Mean emotional rating, shown on a five-emoji scale (Bad → Excellent)
Only trades with an emotion saved are included; hover an emoji to see the count
Recent Trades Streak
Win/Loss result for your last seven trades, oldest on the left
Win = P&L greater than 0; a break-even or losing trade (P&L ≤ 0) reads as Loss
KPIs refresh on page load, after a sync completes, and after you journal a trade. They are informational only — no card is clickable.
Annotate what the numbers can't capture
Opening a trade lets you attach the reasoning and state behind it. Each trade holds:
Rating — a one-to-five star judgment of trade quality.
Emotional state — how you felt executing it, on the five-point scale.
Notes — free-form rich text for setup, mistakes, and lessons.
Strategy — a tag linking the trade to one of your named strategies, plus its per-strategy checklist.
Your documentation is stored server-side and syncs across every device you sign in on.
Connect and sync
Connect a trading account, then press Sync on the Trades tab to pull in your closed trades. Full walkthrough in Connecting accounts.
Document a trade
Open a trade to set its rating, emotional state, notes, and strategy. Step-by-step in Journaling a trade.
Reuse across similar trades
Copy one trade's annotations onto several others at once with Group journaling. A ten-second Undo window follows each apply.
Review by period
Switch to the Daily, Weekly, or Monthly tabs to review aggregated performance and write reflection notes. See Period reviews.
Review across periods
Beyond the individual trade list, the journal aggregates your history by day, week, and month. Each period opens a review with stats (Total P&L, Win Rate, best and worst), an equity curve, reflection notes, and the trades inside that window. Details in Period reviews.
Period reviews and trade rows can produce a shareable certificate. Shared certificates are read-only links rendered live in the browser — not downloadable files. Sharing behavior is covered in Sharing performance.
Where to go next
Journaling a trade — rate, tag, and annotate a single trade.
Group journaling — apply one trade's notes to many at once.
Period reviews — daily, weekly, and monthly reflection.
Strategies — define named strategies and their checklists, then link trades to them.
