Master Your Execution with Advanced Stock Trade Logs
A high-performance stock trading journal goes beyond just tracking P&L. It breaks down your behavior into actionable metrics that help you evaluate your performance and consistency.
Smart Order Matching: Long & Short
Stock trading isn't just about buying low and selling high. Professional traders short the bounces.
- Intelligent Short Recognition: TradeBB analyzes your execution timestamps to automatically classify Sell-to-Open and Buy-to-Cover sequences.
- Accurate P&L for Bears: We correctly calculate profits when you sell high and buy back low, without you having to manually link the trades or flip signs in a spreadsheet.
Analyze Your "Golden Hours"
Do you perform better during the high-volume opening drive or the afternoon fade? Our Profit & Loss by Time of Day chart identifies your most profitable windows. Filter your stock trading journal by specific hours to see where you should size up or stay flat.
Discipline & Mistake Tracking
Use custom tags to flag execution errors like "FOMO" or "Late Entry". By linking these tags to your stock trading journal results, you can see exactly how much emotional trading is costing your bottom line each month.
Why Every Stock Trader Needs an Automated Journal

FAQ
Does TradeBB track my Pattern Day Trader (PDT) count?
How does TradeBB compare to a stock trading journal Excel template?
Excel templates are a solid starting point, but they’re manual and fragile. You typically spend hours importing fills, cleaning columns, fixing broken formulas, and double-checking entries—especially when symbols, partial fills, or export formats change.
TradeBB replaces that Excel busywork by syncing supported platforms or handling broker exports with AI-assisted mapping, so your trades stay consistently structured without constant spreadsheet repair. Once the data is standardized, you can review performance with built-in views and metrics (for example, Equity Curves and Profit Factor) that are time-consuming to build and maintain in Excel.
When Excel is enough: a small number of trades and you enjoy manual logging.
When TradeBB is better: frequent trading, changing CSV formats, partial fills, and a need for repeatable, low-error performance review.
What is a stock trading journal?
A stock trading journal is a structured system for recording and reviewing your trades—so you can go beyond raw P&L and spot repeatable execution mistakes and inefficiencies.
It typically tracks:
- What happened: entries/exits, fills, size, timestamps, fees (when available)
- Why it happened: setup/thesis, rules followed or broken, notes and screenshots
- What to improve: patterns in outcomes (e.g., chasing, early exits, oversized risk) and concrete adjustments for the next sessions
Used consistently, it becomes a feedback loop that helps you refine your process, not just measure results.
Does this journal support Penny Stocks and ETFs?
Yes. Our stock trading journal tracks any symbol recognized by your broker, including small-cap stocks, ETFs, and large-cap equities.
How do you handle Stock Splits or Dividends?
Can I upload screenshots of my charts?
Absolutely. You can attach chart screenshots to any trade in your log to visualize your technical indicators and setups for better future review.
