I'm curious if any of you know of a program that will allow me to quickly post multiple journal entries daily . It should organize posts by date and post the time of each entry. Something where I can quickly make posts with the click of a button and not have to enter a new subject each time. This is for my trading and I just need something to quickly get my thoughts recorded without having to put too much effort into it. If any of you know of a good, preferably free, program which will allow me to this please let me know.

Thanks

You could start a blog and link it to Word, keep word up and type your ideas and send it off. Pretty straightforward after you link it.

I created a Google Group that is private.

Each evening I create my 'pre-market' plan for the next day and email it to the private group. At the end of the day I create a summary of the day's actions along with important screen shots and email it to the same Group.

Each day has one thread on the Group and usually several posts, the pre-brief, post-market summary, and other comments.

The group is sorted by the date title and I can read it from any browser.

I also upload pdf files of articles and notes that I may want to reference while traveling.

Take a look at Google, Documents both text editor and Spreadsheets, and consider using Google Groups (make sure you mark it private by invite only) for your Journal.

Good Trading!

Two very good ideas. I'll have a look at them both.

I appreciate the help

The best journal I have ever used, and still do is written by a fellow trader buddy of mine. Send an email to tradingjournal@live.com and ask him about the journal.

hey guys, i keep a daily worksheet of all my trades and it works really well.

Attached is my own worksheet that I use for my trading. As you can see, you can tailor this to fit your needs, but use it as a start for you.

the key is making notes on the market internals and the specifics of each trade you took, that way you can look back at the end of the day/week/month/year and see where you made mistakes.

By keeping the market internals every 30 minutes on a worksheet you can then notice low volume days ahead of a bad trade and possibly avoid takign trades that occur during times when the market has shown lack-luster conditions.

Hope it helps! See attached
