The dashboard keeps trades, account context, calendar results, filters, equity curve, and rule compliance in one review surface. The example uses synthetic demo data.

WHAT TO REVIEW

The details that make a day-trading journal useful

The details that make a day-trading journal useful

A useful journal should preserve the decision, risk, and execution context around every position—not merely a list of winning and losing symbols.

01 / TRADE RECORD

Entries, exits, and position context

Record the symbol, direction, size, entry and exit, fees, setup, notes, and supporting screenshots or links. Multiple executions stay attached to the trade instead of becoming disconnected rows.

02 / PROCESS

Rules beside the outcome

Attach risk and behavioral rules to the same trade. A profitable trade can still break the plan; a controlled loss can still reflect disciplined execution.

03 / REVIEW

Patterns across sessions

Use the calendar, equity curve, account views, tags, symbols, direction, P&L ranges, and rule-compliance filters to compare similar groups of trades.

WORKFLOW

A four-step daily review workflow

A four-step daily review workflow

1

Capture

Log the trade and executions after the position closes, or use fast manual entry while details are still clear.

2

Add context

Record the setup, thesis, planned stop, target, tags, and notes that explain why the trade existed.

3

Review

Check P&L, risk-rule compliance, calendar context, and similar trades under the same filters.

4

Adjust

Write one specific process change for the next session instead of collecting vague lessons.

Free plan

Unlimited manual trade logging, accounts, core statistics, calendar, filters, trade setups, risk rules, share links, and offline-first PWA access.

Pro plan

CSV trade import, AI Coach, AI Chat, and the all-accounts roll-up are included with StonkJournal Pro at $10 per month.

Current limits

Direct broker synchronization is not currently available. Free users enter trades manually. StonkJournal analyzes your journal; it does not predict markets or tell you what to trade.

Day Trading Journal FAQ

Day Trading Journal FAQ

Is StonkJournal free for day traders?

Yes. The Free plan includes unlimited manual trade logging and the core review features without a credit card or monthly trade cap.

Can I separate paper, prop-firm, and personal accounts?

Yes. Accounts can remain separate so their trades, rules, and statistics do not bleed together. The all-accounts roll-up is a Pro feature.

Does the journal grade profitable trades as good trades?

No. Outcome and process are different. Rule-compliance review helps identify whether the trade followed the plan even when the result was positive or negative.

Does StonkJournal provide day-trading signals?

No. It records and analyzes your own journal data. It does not predict prices, recommend instruments, or provide investment advice.
