Core workflow
Forex trade log built for honest review.
The Elite Journaling trade log keeps every trading decision tied to context: pair, date, execution time, session, setup, bias, timeframe, entry, exit, risk, R multiple, result, mistake, note, and trade screenshot. It is built for backtesting, live trading, real accounts, and prop-firm review.
What is the trade log?
The trade log is the structured record behind the journal. Instead of saving a random trade screenshot or remembering a trade from emotion, you record the exact information needed to review the trade later. That makes your data searchable, comparable, and useful during weekly review.
What it helps you track
Setup and bias
Record the model, direction, timeframe, grade, and reason for the trade so you can separate planned trades from impulse trades.
Risk and R multiple
Compare trades by risk instead of only looking at raw profit. This helps small and large accounts review performance with the same language.
Mistakes and notes
Tag repeated mistakes and write short reflections while the trade is still fresh, so your next review is based on evidence.
Detailed fields built into the app
The app can record pair, date, execution time, market session, trade type, bias, setup, entry model, timeframe, stop loss, take profit, risk percentage, risk amount, base R, partials, final R, result, grade, plan notes, checklist confluence, mistake checklist, trade explanation, mistake explanation, and trade screenshots. Those fields feed the dashboard, weekly review, filtered exports, and share cards.
Session review
Use execution time and session data to find whether a trading window is helping or hurting your results.
Checklist confluence
Record the checklist items behind the trade so Confluence Edge can show which combinations return gain or loss.
Export-ready records
Filtered trade data can be used in PDF and CSV exports, so monthly or setup-specific review is easier to share or archive.
Why it matters for backtesting
Backtesting only becomes useful when the data is consistent. A structured trade log helps you collect repeated examples of the same setup, compare outcomes, and find whether your strategy has real behavior behind it. You can record historical trades with trade screenshots and review the same fields you would use for live trading.
Why it matters for live and prop-firm trading
Live trading adds emotion, timing pressure, and real account risk. Prop-firm accounts add rules and drawdown pressure. The trade log gives you a simple way to review whether you followed your plan, protected risk, and avoided repeated mistakes. It does not tell you what to buy or sell. It helps you see what you already did.

- Log the trade immediately after entry or after close.
- Add setup, bias, timeframe, risk, result, and notes.
