From live trade to journal
Every live, demo, and practice fill in Chartnaut becomes a trade in Research → Trades — your journal with notes, tags, thumbnails, and chart context.
The job after you flatten: capture what happened while it is still obvious.
What lands automatically
When you trade in Terminal → Real-time (MetaTrader or Demo):
Fill times, prices, size, and P&L sync to Trades
Open and closed positions update as the broker reports them
Chart snapshots may capture at key moments when the product records them
Replay and playbook collection trades journal the same way — different origin labels, same library.
Open your trade
Go to Research → Trades
Find the newest row — sort by time or filter by account
Click to open the detail split pane
From Manage Account or Manage Session, deep links may open Trades pre-filtered.
What to add manually
Notes — one honest sentence beats a paragraph. What did you see? What did you do wrong?
Tags — playbook vocabulary or ad-hoc labels for filtering later.
Playbook link — assign the trade to a strategy book when it belongs there.
Custom properties — optional fields you defined (session type, news, etc.).
Autosave applies on most fields — wait for save confirmation on slow networks.
Thumbnails and position replay
Snapshots — still images of chart state.
Interactive position replay — scroll the market around that one position.
Use replay to verify your note matches price action — see Position replay.
Feed the rest of Chartnaut
Tagged trades in a Playbook roll into reports and Historical Intelligence when training sources include them.
Research studies do not replace journaling — they consume different data. Journal first.
Habits that scale
Flatten in Terminal
Open Trades within the same hour
Note + tag before opening the next setup
Weekly review filtered by playbook or account
Three reviewed live trades per week beat fifty unlabeled fills.
Important distinctions
Trades library = global journal across origins.
Data Explorer = one playbook collection session only.
Position replay reviews one trade — does not create a new journal entry.
Demo and live both journal — filter by account if you want practice separate.
