Frequently asked questions

Is this Prop Firm Trading Journal Template free?
Yes. Download it as Excel, CSV or PDF with no signup or email.
Does it work in Google Sheets?
Yes. Open the Excel file in Google Sheets (File → Import) or import the CSV. The formulas work in both.
How is the R multiple calculated?
For a long trade: (exit − entry) ÷ (entry − stop loss). For a short trade the signs are flipped. P&L is R multiplied by your risk amount.
