What is the best trading journal app?

A spreadsheet is enough. Use an app only if it saves you time; the habit matters more than the tool.

How many trades before a journal is useful?

Around 30 trades per setup gives a first rough read; 100 is more reliable.

Does MixFunded have a journal?

Yes, the trader dashboard includes a journal tied to your account.

A trading journal you will actually keep.

A journal turns trades into data. Without one, you remember your best and worst trades and forget the hundreds in between — which are the ones that tell you what works.

Record on every trade.

Date, session, instrument and direction.
Setup name — keep a short fixed list.
Entry, stop, target and planned risk in dollars.
Result in R (multiples of risk), not just dollars.
One line on your state: rushed, calm, revenge, bored.

Metrics worth tracking.

Win rate and average R per setup.
Expectancy = (win rate × avg win) − (loss rate × avg loss).
Largest daily loss versus your daily limit.
Results by session and by day of week.

The weekly review.

Once a week, sort trades by setup. Drop the setup with negative expectancy, keep the best one, and write one rule for next week. Small, specific changes beat big resolutions.
