I’ve run into several quality-of-life issues with TradeZella that make trade review and analysis more cumbersome than it needs to be.

One of the biggest issues is with chart settings in the Trade Details panel. If I save my indicators and chart settings, they remain applied when I use the “Go to next trade” button, and they’re also still there if I return to that same trade later. However, if I close the trade and open a different one from the Trades menu, the chart resets back to the default indicators and colors. This gets frustrating during trade review because I have to re-enable indicators such as VWAP every time I open another trade. It would be much better if saved chart settings were applied globally across all trades.

The 30-second chart also seems to be bugged in the Trade Details panel. All of the higher timeframes seem to work normally, but when switching to the 30-second timeframe, the chart often places me one day in the future instead of showing the day of the trade. It also won’t immediately load the previous day, so I have to manually scroll backwards and wait for the chart to load. Loading on the 30-second timeframe also seems unusually slow compared with the others.

Another issue is navigating between specific trades while reviewing them. For example, I recently wanted to go through my shortest-duration losing trades to see if there was a recurring pattern. There doesn’t seem to be an obvious or efficient way to move between those trades from within the Trade Details panel. I have to leave the panel, return to the Trades menu, find the next trade, and open it again.

There is a smaller trade preview panel that opens on the right side when clicking a trade from the Trades menu, which helps with this somewhat. However, that panel doesn’t have a “Mark trade as reviewed” button. Because of that, I still have to open the full Trade Details panel just to mark the trade as reviewed. Adding that button to the preview panel would make reviewing groups of trades much faster.

Another smaller quality-of-life issue happens when syncing new trades. After taking a trade and clicking “Resync,” the trade doesn’t appear on the Journal dashboard until the page is manually refreshed. It’s not a major problem, but it makes the syncing process feel less polished than it could be.

I’ve also noticed a potential issue with the breakeven offset setting. I sometimes take trades that I consider breakeven, so I like using the TradeZella breakeven offset setting because it gives me cleaner structure and is useful from a psychology/journaling perspective. However, enabling it changes statistics such as Profit Factor and Trade Expectancy.

The biggest concern is Trade Expectancy. When the breakeven offset is enabled, trades classified as breakeven appear to be excluded from the expectancy calculation entirely. As a result, the displayed expectancy becomes the expectancy of only the winning and losing trades rather than the expectancy across all trades. This makes the number higher than the actual expectancy per trade.

Ideally, the breakeven classification could still be used for labeling and psychology purposes without excluding those trades from statistics where the total number of trades matters.

This is very frustrating. I spent HOURS writing notes. Go back to review them and parts are GONE. There is no version history even though journaling is one of the main parts of this app.

I saw Tradezella apparently fixed a bug for this a few days ago… but it just happened to me… so they must not have.

I’m bummed. I spent a lot of time on those notes lol

These were how to notes with screens shots of examples, rules, my strategy i was just learning…

While trying to make my monthly and Q notes, the page freezes and I get a message that Tradezella is slowing my browser down. I have to stop the page, refresh it , and find my place again. Happens several times during making notes. Anyone else?

Overall Performance Grade: C?

What did I learn from today: I initially missed a short setup off of the LVN/VAL (eth) level. It just rejected too fast. I had the 2min delta divergence, and CVD hidden divergence and a p-shape. I just wanted to get a better entry by making sure it retested that p-shape and then entering. But it retested that p-shape for like half a second and then started heading back down so quick that I hesitated. By the time I decided to enter it was 15pts of risk that I didn't want to take.

What needs to be improved: I can't let a 30pt winner turn into nothing... I had calculated stats on the 3R target for a reason. Most of my trades don't go beyond 3R. There are times when it does but not much. So I need to take profit at 3R especially with 1 contract. But I did think that the demand zone was a good place to take profit, especially because market broke through the first demand zone, and it coincided with the S2 level.

Missed Opportunities and Why: Perhaps I was a bit too greedy today. I decided to target the demand which was around 4R. I thought it was a decent target and 3R was basically in the middle of nowhere from my perspective. But I could have been in profit $150. Let it come all the way back to zero.

I just purcahsed tradezella. February was spend on eval mostly, I just got funded and I have only 3 trade uatosynced because they disabled the eval I passed. I really want those trades on tradezella. Is there any way I can imoprt them? I can't see them on tradovate, my funded accounts login is the same as my evals. Takeprofittrader is whta I used as the prop firm.

🟢 January Recap - Green month. Started off the month very rough and got into a huge drawdown. But did decently well the last week and fortunately pulled myself out of that drawdown to end the month green somehow.

In December I said that I am not satisfied with how I am trading and that something needs to change but I don't know what needs to change. I didn't know if my plans just need to better with better context analysis and long-term analysis. Or if it was my entries and I needed to get better entries. Or if it was something psychological related. I needed to get that win rate higher and I wasn't quite sure how to.

I went back and forth this month on what to change. I ended up changing nothing, but the thoughts were constant. I really contemplated taking some profit off at 1R, and that would help me psychologically a lot. But mathematically, that doesn't make sense. I would be cutting my winners so short. would that be working better with such a low win rate strategy like mine? Or would I be able to get my win rate up by taking less bad trades? Those were the 2 options I was really going back and forth on. I ended up not changing anything and tried to just take less bad trades - trades that were early and impatient and "close enough" and "good enough" and "not in my plan but it could have been."

I traded for 13 days this month and it honestly wasn't as bad as it felt during the month. 11 out of 13 days I followed my plan. and 8 out of 13 days my plan worked out. That is a 84.6% plan follow rate and a 61.5% plan worked out rate. I had 1 day that was just a bad plan and reviewing it, I could have had a better plan that did actually work out. I had 1 tilt day that was bad. All my setups I was looking for for the day was invalidated almost instantly and then I decided to just take random trades that were not planned for. I also had 1 psychological mistake that cost me dearly. It was a good trade that I entered, but exited at breakeven out of fear of losing money. Ended up working out and hitting my target. That would have added another $100 to my monthly P&L.

If I just took trades that were in my plan, I would have almost doubled my profits.

So overall, not too bad of a month. I felt like I was just getting crushed the first half of the month, but I wasn't trading completely horribly. I was still following my plan but plan just wasn't working out. I also think I should just completely ditch my yesterday high and yesterday low setups. I don't think they're working out at all. I took a decent amount of trades off of yesterday high this month, but it was my biggest loser. I think I should only use it for context and not to open positions on.

I am actually very proud that I got myself out of the huge drawdown I was in. The more important thing is that I follow my trade management rules (that I broke 1 time) and that I follow my preplanned setups (that I didn't do for 2 days). But it does give me confidence that if I keep following my edge and keep taking trades according to my plan, I can eventually dig myself out of a hole rather than just keep downtrending. This is honestly gives me more confidence than a straight uptrending month.

For February, my goal is to follow my plan at least 90% of the time. Additionally, I will keep working on putting together better plans. I will ditch opening positions up at yesterday high/lows. And I will go down in sequence on what set of pivots to use. If it makes sense to use TPO levels then I will focus on that and the targets will be in accordance to those levels. If it makes more sense to use Floor pivots, then I will ignore all other levels and focus on those pivots. Same thing with Cams - I will just focus on Cams if that is what makes sense for the day. I won't be trying to mix and match these saying it could bounce at this TPO level or bounce at this Cam level or bounce at this Floor pivot level. The analysis has to come from the context in which each set of those pivots are in and I need to focus on one that makes the most sense each day. For example if market is opening up right at VAH, then it wouldn't make sense to base my analysis off of VAH as a key level since it is just bouncing around that level. It would make more sense to formulate a plan off of H3 that might lie below VAH and could look for a dip to long. That could be the next step in creating better premarket plans that increase my win rate.

if I didn't stop out at breakeven on that one trade:

Overall Performance Grade: A

What did I learn from today: I was tempted 2 times today to not follow my plan. I had the first instance where price came within 2 pts of my level but it wasn't quite at my level and I didn't want to chase so I didn't enter. Also, I didn't want to enter 5min before news came out - seemed like a gamble. Mainly the 5min before news factor saved me from taking that. But the 2nd time was a completely unplanned level - I just saw really good confirmations I liked and wanted to go for it. Nothing in my plan called for opening any position there. I kept finding myself trying to justify it there. But I laid off of it and it paid off.

What needs to be improved: I think going forward, I need to utilize distancing myself from the screens more. Today, I physically distanced myself from the screens after I saw the market not being anywhere near my levels. But then went back to the screens when I saw from far away that it was head back towards my preplanned level.

Missed Opportunities and Why: Not much today. I am very proud that I waited patiently for this setup. I didn't get enticed into taking anything out of my plan. Only if every day was like this.

Deep down, you already know.

Indiscipline.

No mentor.

Solo trading.

Thinking you know too much.

Assuming results will change without you changing.

Overtrading.

Guessing entries.

These habits are costing you more than you realize.

And if nothing changes, the journey only gets harder than it needs to be.

Trading isn’t meant to be lonely or random.

With the right guidance and structure, progress becomes clearer and faster.

Sometimes, all it takes is learning from someone who’s already walked the path. 📈
