Log Your First Trade Manually

3 min 8 sec Play the walkthrough here or open it on YouTube.

Create a manual trade using the current Entry workflow, record Initial SL and Initial TP, review Planned R, add setup context and save the final result.

This walkthrough explains the product workflow and does not provide trading advice.

1.1.25 accuracy note: The embedded YouTube recording predates the final 1.1.25 interface. The written workflow below reflects the current 1.1.25 application scope; an updated recording is tracked in the tutorial automation work.

Current 1.1.25 workflow

The current Entry/setup flow keeps the original plan separate from the final result.

  • Enter Instrument, Direction, Entry Date/Time, Entry Price and Quantity.
  • Record Initial SL and Initial TP; Planned R describes the planned reward relative to original risk.
  • Use Planned Targets for TP1/TP2/etc. with percentage allocations when the plan has several targets.
  • Use Strategy & Confluences for setup tags and the Pre-Trade Plan.
  • Add Exit Date/Time, Exit Price and Exit Reason after the trade closes. Realised R is a separate final-result metric.
  • Use Trade Notes for post-trade context and Save Changes to persist the entry.

Invalid Long/Short risk geometry leaves Planned R unavailable rather than producing a misleading ratio.
