How trades get in

Two platforms fill it.You fill the rest.

Each trading account in your journal says how its trades arrive. MT5 and NT8 accounts send their fills on their own. Any other account is a manual account.

MetaTrader 5

Automatic

PFX Journal reads your MT5 history and sends it to your journal with your private link. It never trades.

  • Closed deals, costs and balance
  • Hedging accounts kept apart by position
  • About fifteen minutes to connect
Guide: Connect MT5 with PFX Journal

NinjaTrader 8

Automatic

The free Journal add-on sends every NinjaTrader fill and your account balance to your journal on its own. It never trades.

  • Every fill, as it happens
  • Works with sim and prop accounts
  • A fix for every message in the Output window
Guide: Connect NinjaTrader 8

Anything else

Manual

Trade on another platform? Add a manual account. Type a trade in, or import a CSV and check the rows and totals before anything is saved.

  • Any broker, any market
  • Review the import before it saves
  • Same stats, calendar and reviews
Guide: Import trades or add them by hand

My review: Waited for the retest this time. Moved the stop too early, gave back part of the move.

You answer the same checks on every trade tagged with this playbook. The weekly notebook then shows the trades where every check was a yes beside the ones where it was not.

Trades are rebuilt from the broker's fills, so a re-sync never counts a trade twice.

The "Your data" guide explains what is kept and why.

Straight answers

Before yousign up.

Still stuck? The journal guides walk through every step.

Is the journal really free?+

Yes. The journal and the PFX Journal add-ons are free. Donations keep PrecisionFX running, and they are optional.

Can the journal add-ons place trades?+

No. PFX Journal for MT5 and the NinjaTrader 8 Journal add-on only read your history and fills and send them to your journal. They never open, change or close a trade.

I don't use MT5 or NinjaTrader 8. Can I still use it?+

Yes. Add a manual account, then type trades in by hand or import a CSV. You check the rows and totals before anything is saved.

Will a re-sync count my trades twice?+

No. Every fill has its own broker id, and the journal keeps one copy of each. Trades are rebuilt from those fills.

Does it connect to my prop firm?+

No. You keep your own copy of the firm's rules and log your own equity checkpoints. Always check your numbers with the firm.

Which timezone are my days in?+

The one you choose when you sign up. The calendar, reports and weekly notebook all use it.

Trading carries risk. A journal records what happened. It does not tell you what to trade.
