ChartsPod Trading Journal Entries: Settings to Check Before Your First Analysis

ChartsPod lists a trading journal for recording the decision process. What each entry captures decides what a review can find later.

Short answer

ChartsPod's docs describe the trading journal as recording the decision process so review produces useful feedback. When setting up entries, check which fields exist (setup tag, planned entry/stop/target, invalidation, confidence, fees, screenshots, notes) and fill the planning fields before entry. Entries completed after the outcome are biased. Record fees and funding per trade so net results are right.

Worked example

Illustrative: entries written after exits show 'invalidation' levels that match the actual exits perfectly — a sign they were filled in afterwards. See Trading-Journal Invalidation Notes: A Worked Crypto Example With Fees Included.
