Views on journal days

A view on a journal day works on the trades you closed that day, and every day in the daily journal gets its own answer. It sits as a tab beside Journal and Trades.

What it works on

The view is handed the day's date and the trades closed on it, counted in your own time zone as the journal counts them, with the symbols you traded that day. Each trade carries its symbol, side, prices, times, R, P&L, session and playbook.

It can also read the market's bars for that day, your notes and tags, and the rest of your trade history, so a day can be set against the days before it.

A day hands a view a set of trades, the same as a backtest session, an account and a playbook do. A view you build here is offered under Your views on those pages as well.

Ideas worth building

Each of these is a description to type into + View.

  • Which hours of the day did I make or lose money? Show P&L by hour next to how many trades I took in each. Finds the hour that costs you.

  • My P&L through the day as a line, with each trade marked where it closed. The shape of the day at a glance.

  • How many trades did I take after my first loss, and what did they make in total? Shows whether the day went wrong after the first red trade.

  • Compare today's win rate and average R with my last 20 trading days. Tells you whether today was normal.

  • Group today's trades by symbol, with R and P&L for each. For days you trade several markets.

  • Show BTC's range today against its 20-day average range, and how much of it my trades caught. Separates a quiet market from a slow trader.

Adding one

  1. Open Trading → Journal and pick a day you traded.

  2. Click + View at the end of the day's tabs.

  3. Describe the view, press Build and choose Build it with me.

The builder previews the view on the day you came from. Use Preview as to check it on a busy day and a quiet one. Add a view covers the rest.
