Creating a Trade Entry

Create a trade by adding the orders, asset, direction, and optional notes.

Key takeaways

  • Trades aggregate one or more orders against a single asset.
  • New trades start from Journal → Trades → New.
  • Required fields: Asset, Direction (long/short), and orders with side, quantity, price, fee, and time.
  • Status, average price, P&L, and duration are computed from the orders - never entered directly.
  • Broker text and screenshots can parse orders automatically instead of typing each one.

Trades aggregate one or more orders against a single asset.

  1. From the sidebar open Journal → Trades, then click New.
  2. Pick the Asset and Direction (long or short).
  3. Add the orders that make up the trade - each order has a side (buy/sell), quantity, price, fee, and time.
  4. Optionally attach Flags, write a note, or upload a chart screenshot.
  5. Save.

You can paste broker text or a screenshot to parse orders automatically instead of typing each one. The trade's status, average price, P&L, and duration are computed from the orders - you don't enter them directly.
