Best free trading journal

I need to improve this aspect of my trading.
I like the way you can journal here on FF, as in thumbnail charts and comments on the same page,
but I want it to be private, so this is no use to me, is there anything like this available?

As for me you won't find free excelent trading journals.
You can try to find it here or on other forums like fxbook and babypips.
But there're many people who just try to sell their signals.

i was using onenote, but its so clunky, I also think this website would be nice for a journal, but i want to make it public, as soon as the admin lets me have permission <wink>

i heard people recommend an app called notion, but its not free

who knows, maybe just using a spreadsheet is best?

I am looking for a good place to keep a trading journal, so following for info. I have been looking into it for a while & most say the best ones aren't free.

You can either keep a book if you want to keep a handwritten record, though I prefer to log in all the information in a spreadsheet, as it has many in-built features which makes it easy to keep a record of all my trading activity. Although I write very detailed information, I think every trader should at least write the currency pair, size, position, date, strategy, risk to reward ratio and the outcome of the trade in their trading journal.

You could make a good trading journal yourself with a little bit of Excel knowledge

Hey there Robb1e,

I've been using Notion for a while now, very flexible. You can see from the attached I have all kinds of journals and databases linked to a dashboard I put together... Everything is within easy access... You can document trades in it, import myfxbook csv's etc

I used to use evernote but moved away from it.

For most data crunching I still use myFxBook as notion is first and foremost a journalling tool.... But you can capture pretty much whatever data you want per trade record, or journal entry and then perform calculations on that if you want. you can also export to csv so all the trade metrics you capture could be analysed in something like Excel or Sheets etc

Notion is free for personal use, you can pay for it, but I have a load of data in it and have never come up against any data limits etc....

It wil never be as comprehensive a tool as a paid journalling / analytics platform of which there are plenty around, but I have all my analytcis needs met by MyFxBook etc

For those of you, who have a notion journal and would want to see your trading metrics and stats analyzed automatically in charts and graphs. try using
https://fxjournal.vercel.app and connect it to your notion journal.
