I use TradeZella. I love it. But I also built my own mini tool to log TradingView trades into Google Sheets. Not a dev. Just a guy who wanted clipboard → spreadsheet. Thinking of launching it for others. What should I do?

What if logging trades to your own spreadsheet was a three-click process... would you journal more then?

This is my current dashboard - it's not pretty, but it tells me everything I need to know about a strategy. I can add backtests, or live trades in a second or two. It's a work in progress, and designed for my Asia trading, but it could be easily adapted to what you trade, if you could just capture all that raw data quickly and easily.

Becoming a successful trader is one of the most soul-crushing experiences a human being could undertake. Everyone will doubt you, even you will doubt yourself more often than not. But know that there truly is light at the end of the tunnel. All you need is to keep going until you are there. And once you get it, you won't ever look back. It's the 'greatest' job anyone could have.

We need something like the Robbins Cup...for Twitter. I propose a competition....for all the "you'll never be profitable" folks out there...to come show us how "they" are profitable. Let's do a bracket tournament...seeded by number of Twitter followers. $1000 buy in (to charity of winner's choice)...money gets sent to someone trustworthy like @imJessTwoOne ...we trade live in someone's discord with a few rules to keep it from being a yolo fest. Repost if this would be fun :)

Find these on the M15, look for entries on the M30. I *think* this is the crux of everything those other 'advanced market structure' teachers teach in their 40 hour courses. youtube.com/clip/Ugkxk_DTn…

@elaineross7 @TylerDurden @KittenHaimer Aw very much appreciate you 🙏💙

Over my last 20 trades I've lost 3, giving me a winrate of 85%. I've never consistently traded this well. It's almost nuts to me!! I'm keeping risk down, gaining confidence slowly, will slowly increase risk if my performance maintains at this level. I'm waiting for the slap the market normally gives me when I get confidence in my trading. 😂 Shout out to @AtpTrades, @outof0ptions and @CHTrades_ for the original strategies and the augmentations that I'm now using.

I've been pretty quiet on X of late, so I'm undoubtedly overdue in sharing some executions. NY AM resulted in 2 x BE’s followed by an 82.5pt move (with partials along the way). I’ve been hanging in @DodgysDD premium for a few months now & I’m LOVING trading Futures with iFVG’s as an entry model. DD's valuable lessons in patience, knowing when to walk away & taking partials/BE's, have had a significantly positive impact on my trading, so cheers DD! I had worked up to trading mini’s on single accounts, but have recently lowered risk to micros as I’m about to start copy trading multiple Apex PA accounts & want to reduce my overall risk per account. Yesterday's 21.25pts & today's result was certainly a bonus, but the real game changer for me has been the realisation of the value of stacked PA accounts with a simple target of say 10 points a day, or as @JoelCarpenter_ has said "get green & get out".

@phantom_ict Judas Swing Model 2022 results using @JoelCarpenter_ and @JayCarpenter_ rules Despite all the drawdowns + losses, we ended the year still profitable , very interesting results compared to 2023 docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

Haha, there really is no Country quite like Oz! 😆 With the Australian Grand Prix this weekend & our return from Europe to Oz booked for June, this advert is gold! Europe you've been a blast, but having a giggle at this definitely makes me look forward to going home! ❤️🇦🇺

As you know I personally track BE’s but don’t count them towards my WR. @Mark_From_Omaha put it perfectly, BE’s don’t pay the bills & from my perspective I want numbers based on return. I do however think it’s important to track separately because from a psychological perspective a BE is a win.

Do you cound break evens in your winrate, or not? If I don't take a loss, I count that as a win :) but I can't decide whether it should be included in the winrate. Psychologically it makes me more confident in a model if I know I can get a trade to BE and save a loss , so I like the BE's in my winrate. Do you include BEs in your winrate calculation? Please leave a justification for your answer below. Thanks as always for your thoughts and votes. 🙏❤️

RT @JoelCarpenter_: #10PointsPerDay - actually 12 points today. @AtpTrades 30 second model and exit the whole position at 12 points. Once…

Two Weeks worth of results on the custom mechanical stuff. This is based upon what I would have taken had I traded each (my own rules are in the comments.) I pulled out the Open Fire winners because those wouldn't count in points won in general trading. For myself...I'm hunting 5 points a week...so 88.5 points after two weeks would have been amazing to say the least. :)

There's been a ...slight uptick...in new Funded Traders lately ;) Giving away 2 $50k Apex (80% price) to retweet...also have to join to win. Join us...it's free discord.gg/aTbjQNRbtH
