Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a trading journal essential for long-term profitability?▼
Without an objective record, traders repeat emotional errors (like revenge trading, cutting winners early, or moving stop losses). A journal turns trading into an auditable process where you can eliminate losing habits and refine winning setups.
What is a good Risk-to-Reward (R:R) ratio?▼
Most professional traders look for setups offering at least a 1:2 or 1:3 Risk-to-Reward ratio. This ensures that even if you only win 40% of your trades, your aggregate account balance continues to grow.
What is Mathematical Expectancy in trading?▼
Expectancy is the average dollar amount you can expect to win or lose for every dollar risked across a series of trades. A positive expectancy proves that your technical edge is mathematically viable over time.
Is my trade data private?▼
Yes. All entries, notes, and metrics remain strictly within your device’s local browser storage. No trade details or account values are uploaded to any server.
How many trades should I log before assessing a strategy?▼
A sample size of 50 to 100 trades is generally considered the minimum threshold required to overcome short-term market luck and evaluate true statistical edge.
Can I export my journal data for tax reporting?▼
Yes. The trading journal includes an "Export CSV" option, allowing you to open your trade history in Excel or share it with your accountant for capital gains tax reconciliation.
