What do great traders have in common? They keep track of all their trades in a trading journal.

Meticulous record keeping is vitally important to your success as a trader. You'll learn more about how to improve your trading performance from keeping a journal than from any market guru. However, keeping records is hard and boring. That's why we created the StockTickr Trading Journal - it does most of the work for you.

The StockTickr Trading Journal is an easy way to keep track of your trading. You simply enter your trades as you make them and StockTickr generates valuable reports that let you evaluate your trading from different angles so you can figure out what is working and not working with your trading. Most traders repeat the same few mistakes over and over without ever realizing it. StockTickr allows you to learn from your mistakes so you can prevent them and become more profitable.

What advantages does StockTickr have over a paper journal or a spreadsheet?

Plugins for various trading platforms (IB, MBTrading, Real Tick, others coming soon) are available now! You'll be able to automatically populate your trading journal based on your trade executions - no more typing!! See the plugin in action.

StockTickr is able to capture a variety of data points for your trades: volume, average volume, candlestick charts in various timeframes, general market stats, and a lot more. StockTickr automatically captures charts for your trades and plots your entry, stop, and exit points for you.

StockTickr provides dozens of reports based on this data: Day of Week Performance, Hour of Day, Price Range, Monthly Performance, performance of long versus short trades, a calendar view, and a lot more. You can filter your trades based on a variety of criteria. Want to see how you performed on days where the overall market trended up? You can quickly access that data in the StockTickr Trading Journal.

You can also assign categories to your trades (called "tags") and then view your performance by tag. Let's say you use a couple different trading styles, call them "Strategy A" and "Strategy B". You could assign the tags "long, Strategy A" to your trades that come from your Strategy A style and assign the tags "long, Strategy B" to your trades that come from your Strategy B style. You can then generate reports that tell you which strategy is performing better under certain conditions.

Tags are infinitely configurable - you are only limited by your own creativity. View a video about how you can profit by categorizing your trades.

I'm using my own journal now but am ready to start using StockTickr. Can I upload my old trades?

Yes! There is a simple bulk import page that you can use to import your old trades so you can hit the ground running.
