Quote from jpomerenke:
That is completely different from what we are doing.... We plan on having it in a book type format and easy access to whatever you are looking for...but printing out your trades from your broker is nothing close to a journal...the trade data imo is only 25% of a journal if that....
and the reason im here is asking you guys for feedback and what you would like to see in the project...and dont worry..funding and time is no problem with my partner and I...

By the way...your 1-11 list of things you would like to see on it....most of them are allready on the list of things to be programed into it
jpomerenke,
What exactly do you mean by in
book format?
Once again...there are lots of Trade Journal templates out there already where traders post
why they took a trade,
analysis of a trade,
rating system of a trade et cetera (usually about 3-4 papers)...
with charts of each trade on the back of them as the trade appeared when taken instead of one chart that shows the entire trading day which often doesn't reflect what the charts looked like for each trade...
along with printing out there daily broker statements (usually one piece of paper).
The above usually is via a customizable template from either a spreadsheet or your favorite word processor (I had it once in spreadsheet format via Lotus and recently moved it into word processor format via Microsoft Word).
All my templates are in
book format (took it to local print shop to make a book-like folder out of it) in a very nice book folder in which I can add or remove pages....such as adding the one page broker trade statement.
Reason why I was wondering what do you mean by
book format.
Now...that other stuff...which is a pain in the butt for me to do...
the statistical and calculations work that I mentioned before at your other thread...
that's what my trade journal cannot do and I must do manually.
Things like my average time in trade, time period where most profits and losses occurs et cetera.
Simply...the key to my trade journal and convenience is to keep my journal on paper...in book format...
so that I can review it anywhere (for example while traveling) besides just on the computer.
Let me know when you have an actual version of my
do list and I'll test drive it.
