TradesMatrix Trading Journal
Stock Trading Journal
A stock trading journal helps you keep a consistent record of decisions and outcomes. TradesMatrix currently makes its available app features free to use, including trade logging and performance review.
What to record for each stock trade
- Ticker and direction, such as long or short.
- Entry and exit prices, quantity, and date.
- Fees and realized result, using your broker statement to verify figures.
- Setup, reason for entry, and a short post-trade review.
Review results in context
Separate results by strategy and holding period before drawing conclusions. A small sample can be misleading, and historical results do not predict future returns.
