Trade Log

Every stock and option trade on one row — direction, size, entry, exit, P&L and session — with your notes and tags edited right in the row. Select a trade and the review opens beside the log: the chart, your note, and that day's journal entry on one screen.

Every Trade, on One Row

The Trade Log lists every trade in the account, not just the ones you wrote about — each stock fill and each option position, newest first, with its date, ticker, direction, quantity, entry, exit, realized P&L, session, tags and notes.

Entry and exit read the way you think about a round trip. A closing stock fill shows the average cost it closed as its entry and its own price as the exit. An option that ended without a closing trade says how it ended instead — Expired, Assigned or Exercised.

Session comes free: each row is tagged pre-market, regular hours, after-hours or overnight from its fill time, on the exchange clock. And the header keeps a running count, win/loss record and net result for whatever the log is showing.

Notes and Tags, Right in the Row

Writing a note no longer means opening a dialog. Click a trade's Notes cell and it turns into an editor holding the full note. Enter saves, Shift+Enter starts a new line, and Escape puts it back the way it was.

Tags work the same way. Click the plus beside a row's tags and start typing — the tags you already use are suggested as you go. Click any tag chip and the whole log filters down to that setup.

Writing about a trade never edits the trade. Fills, prices and P&L stay exactly as they were; the note and tags sit beside them.

Review It Beside the Chart

Select a row and the review opens on the same screen. The log narrows to a rail on the left, date and ticker pinned, and the review fills the rest — nothing redirects, and no modal lands on top of what you're reading.

The candle chart takes center stage. Beside it sit the trade's note, tags and up to five captioned screenshots, all editable in place — and below them that day's Daily Journal entry, read-only: your state before the open and mood after the close, the plan, notes and reflection, with a link through to edit it.

Then keep going. The arrows in the corner — or ↑ and ↓ on your keyboard — step to the previous or next trade in the current filter, across pages, with a counter showing where you are. Select once, and a whole session can be reviewed from the keyboard.

Price Context Around Every Trade

A note is stronger when you can see what price did around it. The review chart draws candles around the trade's dates, with a marker where you bought or opened and where you sold or closed. For a stock round trip it plots the other side too, so a buy shows the sell that closed it.

Move the crosshair and the readout shows each bar's open, high, low and close — and on a fill's own bar, the action, the price you got and the time. The timeframe fits the trade: 15-minute bars for a quick in-and-out, hourly for a day or two, daily beyond that, with a 15m / 1H / 4H / 1D / 1W toggle.

See How Each Setup Actually Performs

Notes tell you the story of one trade. Tags tell you the story of a hundred. Tag your trades by setup — breakout, dip-buy, earnings, the wheel — and the Setups strip rolls each tag into one line: how many trades carry it, its win/loss record, and its net realized result. Sorted best to worst.

Click a tag and the log below filters to just those trades, with the header recounting their record and net. The setup you love might be the one bleeding you; the boring one might be quietly carrying the account. When your labels drift, rename a tag across every trade it touches. For a fuller walkthrough, read how to see which setups are working.

The Trades Worth a Note, Surfaced

The trades you should study most are the ones you're too busy — or too rattled — to write up in the moment. Worth a note goes looking for them: it surfaces your biggest realized results that carry no note yet, so a standout win or a painful loss doesn't disappear into the ledger unlabeled.

Each one has an Add note button. One click opens the editor on that exact trade — write the lesson while it still stings or sings, and the trade leaves the list.

Find Any Trade in Seconds

Search matches a ticker, a tag, or any word in a note. Filter by asset class, by tag, or by result — winners only, losers only. Sort newest or oldest first, or by biggest win or biggest loss when you want to review the extremes; the Date header flips the order in one click.

Whatever you filter, the header recounts the trades, the win/loss record and the net result across everything that matches, not just the page on screen. Long histories page through 25, 50 or 100 rows at a time, and the log remembers the size you picked.

Turn your notes into a scoreboard

No credit card required. Tag your trades, and let the journal tell you which setups are worth repeating.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Trade Log?
It's one page listing every stock fill and option position in the account, each on its own row with direction, quantity, entry, exit, realized P&L, session, tags and notes. Select a row to review it beside its chart, your note, and that day's journal entry.
What happened to Trade Notes?
Trade Notes is now the Trade Log. Every note, tag and screenshot you saved is still on the same trade, and old links land on the new page. What changed is the layout: the full log is the page now, and the cards view was retired, since the Daily Journal already shows each day's annotated trades.
Does the log show every trade or only annotated ones?
Every trade. Each stock fill and each option position gets a row whether or not you've written anything about it, so the log doubles as your full trade history. Annotated trades simply carry their note excerpt and tag chips in the row.
How do I add a note to a trade?
Click the Notes cell on any row and type — Enter saves, Shift+Enter adds a line. For screenshots, select the row and use the note editor in the review pane: up to five images per trade, each with its own caption. You can also right-click a trade in the Stock or Option Trades table and choose Edit note. A note never changes the trade or its numbers.
What is the review pane?
Select a row and the log narrows to a rail while the review fills the rest of the screen: the candle chart at the center, the trade's note, tags and screenshots beside it, and that day's Daily Journal entry read-only, with a link through. Step to the next trade with the arrow buttons or the ↑ and ↓ keys.
How do I see which of my setups are working?
Tag your trades by setup, and the Setups strip rolls each tag into a count, a win/loss record, and net realized result, sorted best to worst. Filter the list by a tag to see just those trades. It turns a pile of notes into a scoreboard for your ideas.
What does the Worth a note section show?
It surfaces your biggest realized results that you haven't annotated yet — the wins and losses most worth a lesson, with no note on them. Each has an Add note button, so the trades you'd most want to learn from don't quietly slip past unlabeled.
Can I search and filter the log?
Yes. Search by ticker, tag or any word in a note; filter by asset class, tag or result; and sort newest, oldest, biggest win or biggest loss. The header recounts the trades, win/loss record and net result for the whole filtered set, not just the page on screen.
What does the chart in the review pane show?
Candles around the trade's dates, with buy and sell markers — including the other side of a stock round trip. The crosshair readout shows open, high, low and close, and on a fill's bar the action, price and time. Switch between 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D and 1W. Charts are available for US-listed tickers when your currency is USD.
Where does the session on each row come from?
From the fill time. Each trade is tagged pre-market, regular hours, after-hours or overnight automatically, with no input from you — which makes it easy to see whether the hours you trade outside the regular session are actually earning their keep.
Is the Trade Log free, and is my data private?
The Trade Log is part of TickerScribe and free to use — no separate tier. Your notes, tags, and screenshots are private to your account, only ever visible to you, and never publicly accessible.
