One of the most powerful features of this journal that separates serious traders from emotional ones. This system doesn't just track your trades - it actively helps you trade better by enforcing rules, monitoring limits, and keeping you accountable every single month.
How It Works:
Monthly Trading Day Limits — Set your own maximum number of trading days per month - up to 6 days. Once your limit is set, the system auto-tracks every active trading day against it in real time.
Instant Alert System — The moment your trading days exceed the set limit, an instant alert is triggered - highlighted in red - so you know immediately when to stop and protect your capital.
Brokerage & Tax Monitoring — Every month tracks your exact Tax percentage, Tax Amount, and Brokerage paid - so you always know your true net profit after all real costs, not just gross numbers.
Color-Coded Profit & Loss — Profitable months are instantly highlighted in green, loss months in red, and over-limit trading days are flagged automatically — giving you a crystal-clear visual picture of your discipline and consistency.
Effortlessly determine key trading levels, including entry, stop-loss, and target prices, for both long and short positions. Simply input your desired risk-reward ratio, and the calculator will provide precise levels to help you plan your trades effectively.
