What Is the Trading Journal?
A month-by-month ledger of every trade you've logged.
The Trading Journal is a month-by-month ledger of every trade you take — entries, exits, P&L, and the numbers around each one, all in one place.
What Problem It Solves
The Trading Journal tells you what you actually did about your trading journey — every trade logged, with its outcome tracked automatically as prices move, rather than you having to work it out by hand.

Common Questions
Does logging a trade here actually place an order?
No. The Trading Journal is a record you keep — it doesn't connect to a broker. You log trades you've already made (or are making) elsewhere.
Is this the same data as my Tracking List?
No. Tracking is stocks you're watching; the Journal is trades you've logged as taken. A stock can appear in both.
