seeing DXtrade add journalling directly into the trading platform is pretty interesting

i think trading journals are slowly becoming part of the actual trading stack instead of being a separate thing u remember to update after trading

thats probably where they shouldve been all along

[Journalit @journalitco]

@AdamICT_Journal always 🫡

[Journalit @journalitco]

its called Journalit and it runs on your device

the actual journalling side is free btw. unlimited trades/accounts, analytics, dashboards, reviews etc

Pro is mainly for automation like broker sync + imports

your trades, screenshots, reviews + notes stay as files on your device

prop firm rules are way harder to keep track of than they should be

so i built a tracker into my trading journal

- prefilled rules for supported challenges
- live drawdown + pass/fail
- payout eligibility + withdrawal preview
- basically free to use

[Journalit @journalitco]

@TradingComposur The challenge is seeing it clearly. The patterns in how you respond to pressure, uncertainty, wins and losses are easy to miss in the moment. Reflection makes them visible.

[Journalit @journalitco]

Only one vote - not enough to draw conclusions but the friction is familiar. If logging a trade takes too much effort, the habit rarely lasts.

For those who deal with manual entry, what actually eats the most time?

[Journalit @journalitco]

Be honest, what actually kills your trading journal by week 3?

really like this change

being able to open any markdown file directly in Obsidian makes the whole "theyre just files" thing feel a lot more real

its the same reason Journalit keeps your journal as normal markdown files on your device

[Obsidian @obsdmd]

You can finally edit any Markdown file without moving it into your vault! 🤗

Works for all formats Obsidian supports. Available with Obsidian 1.14.2 (early access).

[Journalit @journalitco]

@rwaisys no problem, let me know if u need any help getting setup

[Journalit @journalitco]

Pretty cool seeing stuff like this get built around Markdown

It's a big part of why I wanted Journalit to just give you normal files instead of keeping your entire trading journal inside our own little system

This is Knap. It's a new language I created that turns data into Markdown. The syntax should feel familiar and comes with wonderfully pleasant features to modify and format plain text.

Knap is open source. Over a million people already use Knap directly or indirectly because it started as the templating language I made for Obsidian Web Clipper. Now any tool can use it.

You can add Knap to your app or use it via CLI. Create a batch of Markdown files from JSON or CSV, or pipe Defuddle directly into Knap to generate Markdown from HTML/URLs.

The Knap site is color-coded to help beginners understand the relationship between variables (blue), filters (orange), and logic (green). I've tried to document it as comprehensively as I can.

Try the Knap Playground so you can see how fun the syntax is to use!

Knap is pronounced /knæp/ (with a hard k). It's named after knapping (with a silent k): the process of shaping stones to form arrowheads, scrapers, and other tools.

Enjoy!

@rwaisys yep, you can still journal nights where you don't take any trades

you can grade your mental and technical game on your daily review so you can rate how well you followed your process, regardless of pnl

individual trades can also have their own review questions

[Journalit @journalitco]

@ScarfaceTrades_ Agree and that's the real payoff. A simple rule is one you can actually trust in the moment, which means you follow it more often. That's where the results come from.

[Journalit @journalitco]

@alexthebeggar thank you so much Alex!

Best trading journal in obsidian, they have free function for you if you want to do manually trade record but they also they auto sync if you pay just around 15$/month.
