Trading Journal for Crypto Traders
Crypto trade records can span assets, venues, and products with different fee and funding rules. Capture enough detail to distinguish trading P&L from transfers, deposits, and withdrawals.
What to record
- Asset, trading pair, venue, product type, and direction.
- Entry and exit time, price, quantity, and order type.
- Trading fees and funding payments, where applicable.
- Setup, planned risk, market context, and review notes.
Separate trades from account movements
Transfers between wallets or venues, deposits, withdrawals, and conversions can affect balances without being trading profit or loss. Keep those events distinguishable and reconcile records with the relevant exchange or wallet history.
Use careful comparisons
Crypto markets can trade continuously and may have substantial volatility, venue, liquidity, and custody risks. Compare like-for-like strategies and periods, include costs, and do not interpret historical results as a forecast.
