Trading Log?

I am wondering/looking for what you guys use each day to record your daily trades and their P&L. I guess you could export it from your broker to excel...

I did not know if there was a good program out there that anyone uses?

Re: Trading Log?

404,

Since I've been exclusively day trading futures and only repositioning my longer term accounts monthly/quarterly I just use Microsoft word to record my P/L

Since I just get a P/L statement for my futures acct. I don't need to record each trade.

You could try using this free trade tracker excel spreadsheet from tradersaccounting.com

Just select "Trade Tracker Pro"

404 - I have been told by my contact at Open ECry that this is good software for TAX purposes. I was told that it is lacking in the analytical department (analyzing trades, finding patterns, etc.). I may give it a try purely for tax purposes.
