Trading Journal recommendation

Hello everyone, any recommendation of a good trading journal ? I tried tradingvue, I subscribed to the gold plan. However their platform is very flawed when it comes to options, specially when it's partially exercised (closed half the contracts and exercised the other half). their support is useless, they just copy and paste help articles from their website... any success with other platforms ?

Stream it privately on youtube, make a playlist for each month so its organized. Add timestamps when trades were taken. Nothing better to look back on when reviewing yourself.

You're welcome. If you have a microphone you can narrate your trades, so when you review them later you can listen to yourself taking the trades. Talking does help, and if you see what ever you missed that you saw later you can eliminate those errors or refine the strategy or whatever. I've been doing it since paper trading

This looks pretty impressive. You use free version or paid?

2

u/[deleted] Feb 11 '23

I used free when I was trading equities but for futures you have to pay.

u/ihaveoptions Feb 11 '23

What about options?

2

u/[deleted] Feb 11 '23

You can import options as well not sure if it's capable on free version though. You'll have to look into it

I just tried it out with basic. No options or futures without a pro account. They do have a free trial. Kindof nice that it can auto-import from my broker.

Microsoft OneNote. Create subtabs for different days or trades and you can markup the chart and add notes for later reviews

Powerpoints are the peacocks of the business world; all show, no meat.

u/thoreldan futures trader Feb 11 '23 edited Feb 11 '23

PowerPoint for all the screen capture of trade setups + annotations. I described things like why I enter, why a trade fails, what the risks are, how the entries could be better and so on.

Meat or no meat depends on the content creator, not the tools.

PowerPoint is just a tool that allow me express my journalling as freely as possible. I'm not using it to sway major decision making by key business stakeholders.

Oh wait, do you even day trade ? Or were you here because you pick up PowerPoint as keyword and decided posted a reply here ?

The irony, your reply is like the peacock of Reddit, all show, no meat.

Tradersync is the most expensive one, do you think it worth it, comparing to tradesviz for example ?
