A trading journal template is nothing more than a sheet in which we will write down all the trading operations we perform over a period of time. Here, the idea is to maintain strict control over the trades we have done in the past and the currently open trades.

A stock trading journal template will be essential to know if a trade has made money or not and keep track of all our losses and successes. At the end of the month, we will know how much money we made or lose and the number of trades we opened and close. Using a trading journal template should be our top priority once we begin trading in the market. It is absolutely crucial to keep track of our win and loss trades because that will tell us how we are performing in the market and whether we should keep doing what we are doing or try another strategy.

We could either keep a paper trading journal or a digital one. We highly recommend you to take the latter because, with an excel trading journal template, we will be able to create an automated log, just like the one we have in our trading journal Excel.

Ideally, every stock trading journal template should be a breakdown of the complete trade, including the entry price, the profit price, and the stop-loss point. However, that would be a very simple stock trading journal excel template, of course.

With an excel spreadsheet, we could design something more elaborated than that. Get Our Stock Trading Journal Here! Explaining how our Excel trading journal template works Our Excel stock trading journal spreadsheet is divided into two Excel files, one of them serves as a transaction log , and the other one will allow us to write down and modify all the details of the trade.

The operation sheet is subdivided into five different sections that we will be breaking down one by one. In the operation management section, we will be able to specify the value of our account and choose the maximum risk that we can tolerate in the current trade. Also, we can choose the entry, exit, and stop-loss prices along with the number of shares that we want to trade. Additionally, we can write down the commissions and add a comment if we wish to about the trade.

In the Risk Management zone, we can specify the maximum risk on the total value of our account we want to face in the trade. By setting that, we will learn the maximum money we can risk and the maximum number of shares that we should take to respect our risk management. When choosing the number of shares in our stock trading journal excel template, we will quickly see the maximum number of shares we can trade, which will be limited by our account value or the risk management.

If we are limited by the risk management, we can change the stop-loss price to another. In any case, we can quickly see the active risk attending to our stop loss point in the trade.

Once we have defined the trade settings, the results zone will display the money we can lose in this trade and the money we might win attending to our established profit and loss prices.

Lastly, in this section, we will be able to write a comment about the trade. For example, if there was any news on the stock or if the market did a somewhat unpredictable movement or if the market spread was too high. Section 2: Breakdown of The Complete Trade In our trading journal excel template, you will also find a graph showing the trade performance in those cases that we might decide to change the exit or stop-loss price.

As you can see, the graph will show us the money we can make or lose far beyond the price we have set in the management section. Section 3: Test of the Trade Sometimes, as stock traders, depending on how we feel the trading day, we might be more impulsive or restrictive. These subjective feelings might make us open or close trades that we should not, and we should try to avoid being driven by this.

In an attempt to reduce the subjectiveness in a trade, we have included in our stock trading journal template excel a system to test how valid a trade is. As you can see, we have added a new sheet in which we have specified the system we typically use to trade. Whether we use the bullish or bearish version of our trading system, we have chosen a few technical analysis criteria that need to be fulfilled before deciding to open the trade for the trade to be valid.

If the test obtains a mark above 7 or so, we will open the trade. In that way, we are reducing the subjectiveness of the trade, and we are making sure that we are not making a sudden movement.

Whether you are an expert stock trader or dream of being one, this interests you. Know in detail the results of your trading,, get an estimate of the number of stocks to trade based on risk, and drastically reduce the time it takes to record your trades with this Stock Trading Journal Excel.

Especially of you are just getting started in trading. Although trading stocks is proven to be very profitable, it is clear that if we do not follow the rules of our trading systems and do not record our own trades to make sure we are being objective, we can lose both control and money , and even worse, we could doubt our own analysis.

If you are starting out in trading…. You may have noticed that, at first, any stock you see in the market seems like a perfect opportunity from which to make a profit, but unfortunately, we learn the hard way that not all of them are valid.

This makes you lose confidence, because, even when you have defined a stop-loss, especially when the situation goes wrong due to doubts. You end up losing more than what you had in mind and this causes rejection and frustration If you have some experience…. You already know how important it is to correctly follow the rules of a system and defining the stops and targets is crucial to correctly size the operation, but this is not so easy if we also have to include entry and exit commissions In addition, if you are trading several stocks at the same time, it is easy to lose focus on each of them, and this makes things more complicated, leading you, on many occasions, to make decisions that are not very wise.

If the test obtains a mark above 7 or so, we will open the trade. In that way, we are reducing the subjectiveness of the trade, and we are making sure that we are not making a sudden movement. The mark of the test will appear in the Operation Management section as a number.

Section 4: Adding Images to the sheet in one click One of the features we believe is the most important is to have the ability to quickly take a look at what the technical indicators and the stock price looked like both the day we opened and close the trade. The reason is simple.

We can identify a winning pattern or a good configuration of technical analysis indicators if we are able to find it in different stocks. In this section, the idea is to record the entry and the exit images of the trade so we can understand what happened in the market in both situations. In our Excel trading journal template, the only thing we need to do is take a picture of the entry and the exit and name the images. After that, we will only need to type the name of the image in the stock trading journal and click the button.

Once we have activated the button, the excel stock trading journal software will execute a command in which it will copy, paste and resize the images to fit them in the Operation sheet, just like this. With this addition, we will quickly know how the situation of the price and the technical indicators without having to open the trading software and look for the stock and the specific date.

Section 5: Storing the data in the log We have managed to define the trade with the four previous sections of the stock trading journal template Excel, but what happens if we want to open three positions at the same time?. The easiest solution is to create a new Operation Sheet for every single trade, that is true.

But if we want to monitor every single trade simultaneously, the best way to do it is to use a common log that displays the most essential information of every single trade.

In this section of our stock trading journal spreadsheet, we will need to specify the ticker of the stock and assign it an ID. This ID can either be a name or a number, and it is created to keep the trades ordered. Also, we will be able to specify the currency we are trading with, and we will be able to determine if the trade is open, is a winner, or is a losing operation.

Lastly, we will be able to identify the opening and closing dates.

Sales Dashboard Template Rated 4. If the test obtains a mark above 7 or so, we will open the trade. I will check it. What if I buy the Stock Trading Journal Template and then realize that it is not for me? We are waiting for your response to help. Also, you will save a lot of time when recording your trades , practically with a single click on a button.
