Journal and review
What the journal counts, the trade page, and why an unreviewed trade stays in sight.
The journal is not a report for the tax office but a tool for correcting yourself. That is why it does more than add up profit.
What it counts
- return over the period;
- win rate;
- profit factor — the sum of wins over the sum of losses;
- drawdown — how far the account fell from its own peak;
- the full trade history, with filters.
The figures are counted for the selected broker, not for all of them at once. Mixing accounts into one statistic is pointless: different currencies, different leverage, different conditions.
The trade page
Every trade has its own page: entry, exit, size, commission, result — and room for the review. The chart snapshot enlarges on click; notes travel to your account and come back on another machine.
A review is due until it is done
An unreviewed trade stays visible as unfinished business. The terminal does not scold and does not award “discipline points” — it simply keeps the trade in sight.
Discipline is not a character trait, it is a habit, and habits are built by the thing that reminds you every day.
The review flag is never invented
When the terminal does not know whether a trade has been reviewed, it stays silent — it does not tick “reviewed” and does not accuse you of the opposite. An empty space is more honest than a false mark: once people see the tick, they stop checking.
Units
A trade result is shown in pips, percent of account or R — one switch in the linked-trades header. A total computed from partial data says so about itself: “+2.54 % (from 1 of 2)”. An open trade is not counted at all — its result does not exist yet.
