Personal Trading Info Software???

I am trying to come up with some sort of ideal software for keeping records and a trading diary!

the first thing I ever did was come up with a entry checklist with the typical stops and profit objectives.(Word)
I then started to keep certain trading templates based on chart patterns that I could compare current price to ideal entry requirements: helps with disclpine. (Excel)

I downloaded from cnet.com a 30 day trial program of IDiary, that is a personal daily journal, that you keep a daily log: helps recalling market state and recording images before and after trades are completed when rehashing old trades.

I also have been using a "Anytime" Organizer, to keep up with appointments and other personal crap etc..


I am just wondering, with all the great advancements in software, if somebody has not completed the ideal software for a trader to organize all of his/her trading information.

Something that might have something help organize a complete treading plan, recorde daily notes, plan daily schedule, all of the stuff that a impulsive person like myself has a hard time doing anyway.

I was hoping that a Day Runner type software would be ideal- but it does not readily allow for additional forms and sheets to be incorporated into its system. Excel has no general orgainizational framework pre-built for this, but I imagine you could create something- I just do not want to create something from scratch!

Does anybody know if Microsofts Project 2007 would work for this type of application? It appears like it would be ideal for creating a trading plan- I just do not know about the trading diary application or daily schedule part.

One of the first books on trading I read, Elder's- Come Into My Trading Room, Elder talks alot about keeping a daily trading journal and going back over your records a couple of times a year for critique. I am thinking about something similar just on steriods.

Any thoughts or advice??

I looked at that TradeSmart program...i think its ugly and crap!

Any new Ideas? i really wonder if there is no one out there offering such a product..maybe we can find a few programers and get such a project done

I really hope somebody can enlighten me or give a few hints what kind of programs to use to build a perfect diary!

This one looks good -> {link removed, see rule #3}

i am testing the trial!

I am impressed..its good thaught trough!

but it is not for forex!

it is for stocks ..

i contacted the developer if there is a forex version avaliable!

waiting for an answer!


here some additional proggies ->

{link removed, rule #3} OTrader: Trade & Portfolio Management Software
another Big one ..but not for Forex as it seems! but i will test it

btw anyone using NinjaTrader platform?

Just contacted the company. They are having issues with the opening of the program after being installed. Hopefully this will be repaired shortly.

The Developer of the Trade Journal from my first post contacted me and offered to add Forex Features to the program!
I will help him with the process and hope finally there will emerge a Moneymanagment+TradingDiary+Strategy Program tailored for us Forex Traders.

I am very excited because the Developer seems a very nice person and trades also himself (not forex..stocks,bonds,futures i dunno exactly) but together we may get a good piece of SW here.

just for Information:
I am in no way associated with the developer and do not want to advertise anything! I am just stating my personal oppinion!


@ Moderators

please send me a PM if this falls under Advertising. Because i will post here the Progress and my Oppinion about the program.

SCAM...SCAM...SCAM

Two problems... first being that the program advertised as free is not free. Second, the program has absolutely nothing to do with the forex market.

I hate scammers that do not know what the word FREE means.

Hello WHTenn,


Please can u explain that?
I never stated that the programs are free...
I Also stated that the "TraderJournal" has nothing to do with Forex..but that i contacted the developer and he is eager to build them into it..
and i think then it is eventually worth the 39$..


And I even stated that a MOD should contact me if this is a problem!!
Why u just don`t pm me and tell me how i can state my oppinion about that program without breaking the rules?

Can u please take back that infaction and tell me "how to"?

I really only wanted to help and i also searched a long time for such an program..this one is maybe helpful..and the fact that the programmer answere so quick and is starting to work on my "thaughts" on the program is very surprising and i respect that and hope for a good thing..

Please answer on that...i am really not out to break the rules and scam anyone..i am here to learn..to become a trader and to give something back..

Kind Regards and Happy Easter!
Aidan

Okay i read Forum Rule #3 now..


I will try to establish my track record..and i absolutely understand and respect that..thats the way to go..

how long will that infraction last?

Am I allowed to say google "name" ?

Thx a lot,
Aidan

The web site is a scam...let me explain. When a owner of a web site states that the download is free .... and you download same and then find out that he wants payment for same, this is a scam. The web site owner was told twice that he is deceiving people by lying about the free wording on his web site... and he plays dumb. Then again, I don't think he was playing. Now do you understand? No one stated that you said it was free, the web site stated so. The program he is developing is an easy spreadsheet...and not worth $39. Ask around and you will get one free from other traders here.

When the programmer comes out with the program, you cannot attempt to advertise it for him on this site.

Contact a moderator if you question if your doing something incorrectly prior to posting. The infraction cannot be taken back.
