What is a trading journal?
A trading journal is similar to a diary that records your trading activity. It is
probably the most underrated and underused tool in the arsenal of a trader.
And you know why? Because data entry is a pain.
Why should I use a trading journal?
The key to any successful trader is to have some way to measure, track and
analyse your performance in order to constantly find ways to improve. World class athletes
or football players keep detailed track of what makes them perform better. A disciplined
trader is (usually) a profitable trader, or at least on the way of becoming one.
MyCryptoJournal lets you enter trades in 2 ways: manually or auto import from exchanges.
The information about the trade is divided into the basics and advanced view. The basic view is
ordered in a list and can easily be ordered and filtered. It contains info such as pair, quantity,
average entry price and P/L. It can also be expanded to show all the sub-trades associated with the
respective trade. You know, all those fractional mini-trades that composes a single trade.
The advanced view shows other important information besides the basic view. It includes RR,
reason for entering trades, setup names and even images for entry & exit trade setups.

First of all, if you’re going to use a trading journal (and we hope you are) you
have one of three options: excel (which is a pain to manage in the long term) or a professional
trading journal. MCJ, on top of to connecting to exchanges and easily importing trades, is
accessible from anywhere and has an easy to use interface.
