@AleksandrRSFSR@T_Salvadorini I can do that if the strategy is such that I dont need to be sitting there watching, hence the to-effort-ratio.

These 3 are the real deal, without a doubt.
@Drafttrading But yea, most important is that it works for you. I was just curious how other people journal because I always find myself going back to excel.
@Drafttrading That's great if it works for you.
I'll give you an example of what I can't auto import. I trade multiple discretionary setups. Broker import can't auto detect the setups and show each equity curve.
That's just 1 but I have around 10 discretionary data points like this per trade.
@Drafttrading I dont mean just manually reviewing, but logging the trades in the first place.
There's a lot more data points to store for each trade than what can be auto imported from a broker... for me at least.
I always liked excel for this reason.
Everyone talks about Win Rate vs. R:R, but it's more like a 4-way tug-of-war:
• Win Rate
• R:R
• Trade Frequency
• Scalability
Cranking one up tends to affect at least two others. Your job is to optimize the tension.
@JulianFXG@Trader_Dante I dont think it's the same for everyone.
I tend to agree with you, but I don't doubt that there are traders that are able to lean into discretion more successfully than others.
And even if you're mechanical you never know for certain when a strategy stops working.
