Review the Full Story Behind Every Swing Trade
Swing trades develop over days or weeks. A good result depends on more than the entry price—it also depends on your original thesis, position management, market conditions, and exit decisions.
TradeBB helps you keep the complete history of each swing trade in one place, so you can understand what worked, what changed, and what you should do differently next time.
A Better Way to Review Multi-Day Trades
A swing trading journal connects the decisions you made before, during, and after a position.
Before the Trade
Record the setup, market context, planned entry, stop loss, profit target, and the reason the opportunity is worth taking.
During the Trade
Add notes as conditions change. Track adjustments, partial exits, overnight gaps, and whether you followed the original plan.
After the Trade
Review the final result together with the full decision process—not only whether the trade made or lost money.
Find the Setups That Deserve More Capital
One profitable trade does not prove that a setup works.
Use reports to compare your swing trades by:
- Strategy and setup
- Symbol or market
- Long and short positions
- Holding time
- Win rate and average return
- Tags, mistakes, and market conditions
Over time, your journal shows which setups are repeatable and which ones only appear successful.
Keep Your Trade Thesis Connected to the Result
Attach notes, strategies, tags, and executions to each trade. This makes it easier to answer questions such as:
- Did the trade follow the original thesis?
- Was the stop moved without a valid reason?
- Did you exit too early after normal price movement?
- Were earnings, news, or overnight risk properly considered?
- Which market conditions produced the best results?
Instead of relying on memory, you can review the actual decisions behind every outcome.
Import Trades Without Maintaining a Spreadsheet
Import trade history from supported brokers and platforms, upload a trading file, or enter a position manually.
TradeBB organizes executions into complete trades and gives you a clearer view of entries, exits, fees, holding periods, notes, and performance.
Spend less time updating rows and more time improving your swing trading process.
Build a More Consistent Swing Trading Process
Your journal should help you recognize patterns across dozens of trades—not simply store past transactions.
Track your positions, document your reasoning, and use real performance data to refine your setups.
