Trading journal template โ€” what to include and how to use it

A trading journal template is a structured spreadsheet that helps you log every trade and analyse your performance over time. The goal is simple: record what you did, see what worked, and improve your strategy based on real data instead of guessing.

Excel vs Google Sheets โ€” which is better for a trading journal?

Both work well. Google Sheets has the advantage of being accessible from any device including mobile, and auto-saves to the cloud. Excel gives you more formula power and works offline. The choice usually comes down to whether you trade from multiple devices โ€” if yes, Google Sheets is more practical.

Essential columns in a trading journal template

When a spreadsheet template isn't enough

Spreadsheet templates have real limitations. You can't attach chart screenshots. You can't see your stats broken down by setup type automatically. Mobile logging is painful. And the more trades you log, the heavier the file becomes. That's why most serious traders eventually move from a template to a dedicated trading journal app.

Profit Helper gives you everything the template has โ€” plus automatic charts, mobile logging, screenshot attachments and deeper analytics. The free plan is real and permanent. Start with the template, then try the app when you're ready.

Template or app โ€” both are free.
