Built for currency traders: log every pair with its session and pip distance, and the sheet calculates R-multiple, P&L, win rate and profit factor for you.

For spot and perpetual traders: track exchange, leverage and fees next to every entry, so your real R after costs is never a guess.

Made for ES, NQ, CL and GC traders: log contracts and ticks per trade, and let the summary show which markets actually pay you.

Track calls, puts and spreads with strike, expiry and premium, while keeping one consistent risk unit (R) so results compare across strategies.

For swing and position traders in shares: log sector and catalyst with each trade, then see which kinds of setups actually make you money.

Intraday traders live and die by timing. Log entry and exit times with each trade, then spot the hours where you trade best — and worst.

For trades that last days or weeks: log the timeframe and holding period, so you learn whether patience or quick exits serve you better.

Passing a challenge is about not breaking the rules. Track your running balance against daily loss and max drawdown limits after each trade.

Gold moves on news and sessions. Record the session, any news event and whether the market was trending or ranging with every trade.

Scalpers take many small trades, so costs and hold time matter. This sheet keeps it fast: one row per trade, with spread and seconds held.

Your results follow your state of mind. Score sleep and focus, note how you felt before and after, and see which emotions cost you R.

Most losses come from a few repeated mistakes. Log each one with its cost in R, and the rule you will follow next time.

One review a week is where the real learning happens. Fill in one row each weekend: results, best and worst trade, and one focus for next week.

Write your rules down before the market opens. Set risk per trade, daily and weekly loss limits, and the exact rules for entries and exits.

For long-term investors who want more than numbers: track each holding with your thesis, dividends received and how the position is doing.
