Description
Experience Level: Intermediate
More of a hobby and not full-time, I Spread Bet trades on the financial markets and I require a spreadsheet to act as my Trading Journal (TJ). A TJ must be able to both record trades and then analyse them.
Basically, recording the trade/strategy I entered into, who, what, why, when and how etc., then analysing the result, win or lose, and producing useful feedback data.
I can do simple versions of spreadsheets, which just records trades, but it is Excel wizardry of the analysis side that I cannot readily master. I can buy a TJ and some are free, but they are always far too complicated for my needs, catering for all things to all people. Even when you can customise them I end up doing things the way the TJ requires me to rather than how I want.
An example of what is considered to be an excellent TJ can be found at http://trading-journal-spreadsheet.com/ I subscribed to this, but no longer use it, because it is too busy and doesn’t price my trade size as I want. I also have an example of a simpler one, which also doesn’t do price the way I want, but in general this is much closer to what I want. Access to these examples can be forwarded for background info.
I anticipate that the finished Workbook will have about four Worksheets. The first with the entry data and the second doing the main analysis, the third and fourth being general profit and loss on my overall Trade Account and an equity curve.
