what software do you use for keeping track of your trades?

[RookieOfTheYear]

hi,

are there other useful programs or web-based services than MS Excel (or any other spreadsheet tool) that suit a (day-)trader's needs?

Whrere would i get features like:

* easily grouping multiple entrys/exits to a single trade
* automatically giving me a chart with entrys and exits marked on it
* calculating the drawdown from the maximum book-profits to the close of the trade through automatically looking up in the tick-data of the underlying
* calculating Profit factor, sharpe ratio, etc.

Thanks in advance,

rookie

However I use Excel to do it, you can check http://www.stocktickr.com/ or http://tradingspreadsheets.com/default.aspx

Here's another that uses excel: http://www.marginaccountcalc.com/home.html

Futures and options only. Not sure if it can take a data dump directly from broker statements. Might be manual entry.

I use TradingSolutions to track my trades. It is supposed to be a AI system builder but it's CRAP however it does the job of a journal etc quite well. It's just a pity that it costs £'000s...I should have purchased a note pad!

Hi,

Just use a simple Excel spreadsheet. I posted it in the trading journals section.
