Why an OTC trading journal matters
Many traders remember the wins and forget the repeated mistakes. A journal creates a record of entries, exits, setup quality, risk, result, and emotion so the trader can review patterns over time.
Fields worth tracking
- Date, session, market, asset, direction, entry, exit, stake, and result.
- Setup name, confidence score, market condition, and reason for entry.
- Screenshots before and after the trade.
- Rule breaks, lessons learned, and what to repeat or avoid.
Dashboard views
A custom OTC trading journal can show win rate, average return, best setup, worst setup, day-of-week performance, and drawdown. These views make it easier to separate a working strategy from random outcomes.

Frequently asked questions
Is this financial advice?
No. A journal is a tracking and review tool. It does not guarantee results or provide investment advice.
Can I start with a spreadsheet?
Yes. Download the starter CSV from the downloads page, then upgrade to a dashboard when the workflow is clear.
Can screenshots be added?
Yes. A custom build can include image uploads so every trade has before-and-after chart evidence.
