My Trading Journal
Built for regular day traders — stocks and stock options first, scalpers and swing traders alike, with futures and binary options in the same journal. Log every trade you make — wherever you trade — and see your real record: win rate, profit factor, expectancy, net P/L, and exactly which instruments, days and hours make you money and which ones bleed you. No signals. No predictions. Just your numbers, honest.
Free to use. Your journal is private — you only ever see your own trades.
01
Log a trade and it joins the record instantly. Everything below is computed from the trades you enter — no estimates, no vibes, no story you tell yourself afterwards. This is the dashboard waiting inside your account.
See which instruments pay you — a ticker, a pair, a contract — and which ones quietly take it back, trade after trade.
Some traders bleed on Fridays and print on Tuesdays. Your record knows which kind you are.
Find the hours where your edge lives — and the late-night hours where it doesn't.
Tag every trade with the setup you ran, then watch which setups actually earn and which are just habits.
Every trade can carry a note — what you saw, what you felt, what you'd do differently — and your whole journal exports to CSV or JSON whenever you want it back. It's your data.
02
Your month, coloured by what actually happened. Green days paid you, red days cost you — and strung together they show you when you trade well, and when the best trade was closing the laptop.
Inside your account you flip month to month — every day carries its net P/L and trade count, in your local time, and the month total sits at the top. The deeper the colour, the bigger the day.
03
Practice money and real money are different sports, so they keep different records. Every account holds a Demo journal and a Real journal side by side — one tap switches between them, and their stats never touch.
Where you test ideas, sizes and setups. Its wins don't count, its losses don't hurt — and its numbers never leak into the real record.
The record that actually matters — every real trade, its own dashboard, calendar and curve, judged entirely on its own.
And there's deliberately no combined view. When you sit down to judge your real trading, your demo experiments aren't in the room inflating it.
04
A journal is a room of one. This one comes with a front porch — an open chat room inside the site where signed-in traders talk records, red weeks and the rules they're learning, out loud and under their own names.
You show up under a display name — it starts as your email handle, and you can change it any time right in the chat header.
Every message you post carries a delete button only you can use. Said something you'd take back? Two taps and it's gone.
No DMs, no locked groups, no tiers to unlock. One open room for every signed-in trader — the whole room is the feature.
Trader Chat lives inside, right next to your journal. Free account and you're in the room.
05
Inside My Trading Journal there's a school: lessons on the basics of day trading, free with your account. Members read them right next to the journal they keep.
Four short tracks that teach what this activity actually is, how to read a chart without fooling yourself, how risk math really behaves, and how to keep a record that tells you the truth. No systems. No signals. Real basics, risk first.
The lessons live inside, next to your journal. Free account, two minutes.
Three steps between you and the truth about your trading.
Create your free account with an email and password. You get two journals — Demo and Real — from the first minute.
Add trades one at a time as you take them, or import your existing history in one file. Tag your setups and note what happened.
Your dashboard, calendar and breakdowns rebuild instantly. What carries you and what bleeds you stops being a guess.
The questions everybody asks before they hand a journal their record.
Nothing. My Trading Journal is free to open and free to use — no card, no trial clock, no paid tier waiting behind a curtain.
Whatever you day trade. The journal is built mainly for stocks and stock options — scalping or swing trading — and futures and binary options live in the same journal, each entry shaped for its own market: entry, exit, size and side for regular trades; pair, call/put and payout for binary.
Only you. Your journal is locked to your account with row-level security, so other members can't see a single trade. The one shared space is Trader Chat — and that's only messages you choose to post.
No — and it never will. You trade wherever you trade; this is the record you keep afterwards. No broker connection, no execution, no signals, no predictions.
Any time. Export your whole journal as CSV or JSON from inside your account. Your trades are your data — they were never ours to keep.

Import a My Trading Journal JSON file (accounts → demo / real → trades) — each account lands in its matching journal — or a CSV with columns pair, direction, amount_risked, result, profit_loss (optional: market, side, entry_price, exit_price, quantity, point_value, traded_at, tag, notes, account; without an account column, CSV rows go into the journal you're viewing). For stock, options and futures rows, leave profit_loss blank when entry_price, exit_price and quantity are filled — the site does the math (futures also need point_value). Export downloads the journal you're viewing.
