Spreadsheet vs. Tradino

Same trades. Finally readable.

A spreadsheet stores your trades. Tradino lays them out. Drag the slider to see the same month of trades, first as rows in a sheet, then as a calendar that shows every green day, every red day and each weekly total at a glance.

Trading psychology

The market is neutral.
You are not.

Most losing days aren't analysis errors. They're moments: the revenge entry, the stop you nudged, the A+ setup you skipped out of fear. Tradino makes those moments visible, so you can stop repeating them.

Five truths to trade by

Paraphrased from the ideas of Mark Douglas, Trading in the Zone
  1. 01

    Anything can happen.

    Any single trade can go either way, no matter how clean the setup looks.

  2. 02

    You don't need to know what's next.

    You need an edge, and the discipline to take it every time it shows up.

  3. 03

    Wins and losses arrive at random.

    Your edge plays out across a series of trades, never inside just one.

  4. 04

    An edge is only better odds.

    It tilts probability your way. It never promises the next result.

  5. 05

    Every moment is unique.

    Today's chart may rhyme with yesterday's, but it owes you nothing.

Your next trade is just one of the next hundred.
Judge yourself on the hundred, not the one.

Emotion becomes data

Name it. Tag it.
Measure it.

Fear, greed, boredom and FOMO stop being vague feelings once they carry a win rate. Tag each trade with what you felt and what you did, and Tradino shows which habits pay and which ones quietly cost you.

  • Win rate and P&L for every emotion tag
  • Plan-following trades vs. impulse trades
  • Missed setups counted, not forgotten

Tag performance

Example account
  • Waited for confirmation71% · +$1,860
  • Followed plan65% · +$2,410
  • Moved stop29% · −$415
  • FOMO entry22% · −$640
  • Revenge trade0% · −$520

Insight: patience paid. Impulse tags cost $1,575 this month, almost the size of your best week.

Before the first click

Accept the risk
before you take it.

A loss you agreed to in advance can't knock you off balance. Tradino's pre-session check takes thirty seconds and keeps the next decision yours, not your mood's. Try it.

Everything in one journal

See which setups pay, and which ones cost you.

Trade log

Entry, exit, size, setup and how you felt, captured while the trade is still fresh.

Session reviews

Close each day, week, month and quarter with a review that sits right beside the numbers.

Setup analytics

Break results down by setup, session, instrument and weekday until the pattern is obvious.

Missed trades

Log the setups you skipped, so hesitation shows up as a number instead of a feeling.

Milestones

Set targets for consistency, not just profit, and watch each streak build week by week.

Discipline score

Scores the plan, not the luck. A green day can still be sloppy, and Tradino will say so.

The journal remembers what your ego forgets.
Waiting is a position too.
A planned loss is still a good trade.

The method

Log. Review. Keep what pays.

  1. 01

    Log the trade

    Record entry, exit, size and setup. Tag what you did well and which rule you broke.

  2. 02

    Review the session

    Close the day with a short review. Weekly and monthly reviews pull the same trades together.

  3. 03

    Cut what doesn't pay

    See which habit costs you most, turn it into a rule, and track whether you keep it.
