Why Traders
Need a Journal

trading journal template (excel & report)

A trading journal tracks trades and shows your performance data. It helps you see what works and what doesn't in your strategy. By reviewing your trades, you can find patterns and fix mistakes.

Your journal becomes a record of trades that helps improve future decisions. With consistent tracking, you can measure progress and refine your approach.

Why Choose a Journal Over a Template?

Tradervue imports data from brokers, so you don't need to enter trades by hand. The free plan connects with over 80 brokers to import your trades. You can track stocks, options, futures and forex in one place.

The platform generates reports on your wins, losses and risk metrics. These reports show patterns in your trading that spreadsheets can't catch. You can also share trades with other traders to get feedback.

Tradervue includes market replay to review your trades in context. This lets you see what the market did during your entries and exits. You can add notes to each trade to record your thoughts and strategy.

The risk tracking shows your position sizes and exposure across different markets. This helps you stay within your risk limits and improve your money management.

While templates work for basic tracking, Tradervue gives you tools to analyze and improve your trading. The free plan lets you test these features before upgrading.

Comparing Tradervue
to Spreadsheet-Based Journals

While spreadsheet-based journals like Google Sheets, Microsoft excel or Notion can be useful, Tradervue offers several advantages:

• Time-saving benefits of automated data entry

• Enhanced analysis capabilities with built-in performance metrics

• Ease of use compared to complex spreadsheet formulas

Tradervue eliminates the need to manually input trade data or create complex formulas for analysis. This saves time and reduces the risk of errors. The platform's intuitive interface and pre-built analytics tools make it easier to derive insights from your trading data.

Unlike a basic Notion template or Google Sheets setup, Tradervue is designed for traders, offering features for trading journal keeping. This makes it a superior choice for those serious about improving their trading performance.

Success Stories: How Traders Improved with Tradervue

Many traders have seen improvements in their performance after adopting Tradervue. For example, John, a day trader, noticed that his win rate increased by 15% after using Tradervue's analytics to identify his most profitable setups. Sarah, a swing trader, used Tradervue's tagging feature to realize that her trades based on earnings reports were consistently outperforming her other strategies.

These success stories highlight how Tradervue's comprehensive journaling and analysis tools can lead to improvements in trading performance. However, it's important to note that these results may not be representative of other clients, and past performance does not guarantee future results.

Automatic Price Charts

All of the capabilities of Tradervue’s gold plan are available for every trader, including mentoring, risk tracking, and advanced reporting.

Trade Notes

Make notes about your trades, and review them later. Enter them during the trading day, or wait until later – you get to decide for yourself how much you want to do during the trading day.

Daily Notes

By default, shared trades in Tradervue are shared without volume and P&L information. However, if you prefer to share trades with your P&L and volume, you have that option. It’s up to you!

Tag Reports

Use tags to label setups, observations, and other trade attributes, and then use the tag report to quickly see which are working the best and worst.

Summary

Tag search

Advanced Filtering

Use the global filter to select just the trades you want to look at by symbol, side, tag, duration, or date range; once you’ve selected a filter, you can view the journal, trades, or reports based on just those trades.

Dashboard

A summary of the day, a recap of the last week’s trading performance, activity on your recent shared trades, and even pointers to trades others have shared in the same instruments you were trading on the last couple of days.

Coaching/
Mentoring

If you work with a trading coach or mentor, you can give them access to your trading data, and you can even see comments and have conversations with them about specific trades.

Chart Studies

See the same chart studies (moving averages, bollinger bands, ATR, etc.) that you use during the trading day, or add comparison charts with an index, sector, or another security.

Running P&L Charts

View your trade’s P&L over time. And for intraday trades, see your running combined P&L for the whole trading day, highlighting where a specific trade fit into the day.

Multi-Currency

Trades settled in other currencies (e.g. forex, Eurex, etc.) will calculate P&L data and statistics both in their native currency, and in the base currency (USD) for aggregate reporting with other trades.

Commissions
and Fees

Track commissions and fees, and switch the reports to use either gross or net calculations based on your preference.
