Online trade tracker/log

Hi all,

**UPDATE
The bulk of the app is now complete.

https://fx-dashboard.netlify.com/

 

1. You can add closed trades, along with all the relevant info, and screenshots

1. The app will create stats for you, allowing you to see which pairs are generating the greatest amount of profit and loss, as well as calculating whether you're making more on longs or shorts (Yes, that's actually a thing!)

1. You can add potential trades in a pending trades area, along with screenshots, allowing you to keep all your pending trades in one place, and meaning you no longer need to keep all your lines, fibs, etc on your actual chart

**

One of the biggest eye openers for me was when I started logging every trade I took, and was able to plot an equity curve, see where profits and losses etc were building up. I kept the log in an Excel spreadsheet, but the down side was that it was a pain to try and edit on my phone while I wasn't at my desktop/laptop.

So I recently decided to create the FX Dashboard, which is an online web app.

If you've got a trade that's just closed, but you're out and about, you can just log into the page and enter your trade. It keeps a record of your running balance, plots an equity curve, shows you which pairs you're winning/losing on most, among other things.

I'm just looking for a few people to help me test it before I host the final version. And while I think of it, THIS IS A FREE SERVICE! I'm not looking to try and sell this, I just want some people to help me make it better.

Here are a couple of shots of the mobile version of the web app:

The 'view trade' button will allow you to see all the details of the trade, such as swap, commission, net loss, direction, pair etc.

This section has various ways of breaking down the stats, with more features to come soon.


Here you can store pending trades, along with an accompanying screenshot and notes.


If anyone is keen to use the app, and offer feedback, I'd love to hear from them.

Cool concept. Do you have a link?

Hi,

I'm going to be hosting it tomorrow, so I should have a link for people to try it then.

The first version of the dashboard is ready! Please note that I am a developer, not a designer, so it probably doesn't look all that great

**IMPORTANT: The front end and back end of this app are currently hosted on free services, so you may encounter a delay of several seconds when you first sign up or log in. Give it a few seconds, or try refreshing/logging back in**

I'll be making changes as time goes by, such as removing the requirement for a first and last name on sign up. I don't really know why I bothered putting that in, but I'll need to make some changes to the back end so this is no longer required.

When you first sign up, you'll need to go into the 'Update Profile' section at the top, as you'll need to enter your starting account balance. As you enter trades, this will be updated on the trade history page, as well as in the stats section.

Some pointers for when you add a new trade:

1. If you encounter any swap on a trade, you'll need to make sure you enter it as a negative if you've lost money on swap, or just enter is as normal if you've made money on swap.
2. Commission doesn't need to be entered as a negative. The app will always treat commission as a deduction.

I'm sure there are going to be issues as I go along with this, which is why I'd love to have people give their input on this. I blasted this out in about five days, so there will likely be some teething issues.

The next big update will be an area to record trade ideas, as well as upload screenshots so you no longer need to have your charts filled with reminders, S/R lines, S/D boxes etc.

If you encounter any bugs, or have any ideas for improving this little gadget, please post in here

i am looking for these kind of apps for a long time but to no avail.

One with simple screenshot images to save for every trades done is good. That's the most important feature IMHO

I agree. It was difficult to arrange such a thing when you're just saving them in a file, but it'll be easy to keep everything together when I get this next feature added.

This feature has now been added. You can add a screenshot to a trade when adding a new trade, or you can add one later. The next update will be the Pending Trades area, where you can add trades that you're waiting to setup, along with notes and a screenshot.

I've also updated it so profit/loss, swap and commission fields now accept decimalised amounts. I'm not sure how I missed that to begin with

I see various people have signed up, so if anyone has any further requests for features, or if you've found bugs, please let me know.

Been looking for something like this for a while too. I love the idea of a 'Pending Trades' area. Will definitely give it a go.

Cheers

This should be going live next week

This has now been completed. You can add screen shots for closed trades, as well as in a new area where you can log pending trades

Brilliant, will sign up this week and give it a whirl.

Cheers
