Keeping a Daily Journal

Updated Jul 8, 20263 min read

The Daily Journal captures the context around your trading day — your state of mind, what worked, what didn’t, and what to do tomorrow. There is one entry per day(not per account), and the day’s PnL snapshot, trade count and top symbol are shown for reference.

What you can log

  • Main Focus for the day.
  • Journal Notes — rich text with headings, lists, quotes and inline images.
  • Account context — optional; tie the note to a specific account or keep it general.
  • Market Mood— a short label (e.g. “clean trend”, “choppy”).
  • Energy and Confidence — 1–5 stars each.
  • What Went Well, What Went Wrong, Lessons Learned and Tomorrow Goal.

Autosave, streaks and history

Most fields autosave as you type. A streak counter and a 14-day dot strip show your consistency, and a history sidebar lets you jump to past days. Use Save Daily Journal when you add images (images are stored together with the entry, not on their own).

Good to know

Images accept PNG, JPEG and WebP up to 5 MB each and count against your storage quota. Writing the journal itself has no plan restriction.
