Log a trade manually

~4 min read

Go to /trades → "New Trade". The modal asks for the essentials so the journal can compute meaningful metrics.

The essentials

Account, asset, date/time UTC and profit USD are required.
Strategy, Risk %, Followed plan and Confluences are optional but recommended for analysis.
For bulk use the XLSX/MT5 importer or JTTS_EA — much faster.

Account: Which account it belongs to (filtered by active Prop/Real mode).
Asset: Pair or instrument (EURUSD, BTCUSD, NAS100, XAUUSD, etc.). Use the exact broker format so MT5 sync doesn't produce duplicates.
Date and time: Close moment in UTC. The session (Frankfurt/London/NY/Asia) is computed automatically from the hour.
Profit USD: Net result (after commissions and swap if you know them).

Strategy: Pick one of your strategies created in /strategy. Without this you can't compare performance between setups.
Risk %: Percentage of capital risked. If left blank, R:R and related metrics won't be computed for this trade.
Followed plan: Yes/No/N/A. Enables the discipline analysis (see specific entry).
Confluences: List of technical reasons (ICT, CRT, SMC, Price Action). Useful to detect which confluences correlate with your best trades.
Notes: Free text. Whatever crosses your mind during or after the trade.

If you're going to log many historical trades, consider importing an Excel (much faster than entering them one by one).

Import trades from Excel / MT5

Three ways to bulk-load trades without typing them one by one.

Create a strategy

A strategy in /strategy is a template with your rules: when you enter, where you place SL/TP, how you manage, what confluences you require.
