The dashboard keeps trades, accounts, calendar results, filters, equity curve, and rule compliance in one review surface. Use symbol, direction, tag, and account filters to compare related stock trades. The example uses synthetic demo data.

STOCK REVIEW

The context a stock trading journal should preserve

The context a stock trading journal should preserve

A useful stock journal should connect the trade record with the setup, thesis, risk, and account context that shaped the decision.

01 / POSITION

Shares, entries, exits, and fees

Record the symbol, long or short direction, share size, entry and exit, fees, setup, notes, and supporting screenshots or links. Multiple executions can remain attached to the same trade.

02 / SETUP & THESIS

The reason beside the result

Document the setup, thesis, planned stop, target, tags, and behavioral rules. A winning stock trade can still break the plan; a controlled loss can still reflect discipline.

03 / FILTER & COMPARE

Patterns by symbol and account

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