Know what this tracker represents

Trade Diary tracks the positions and executions recorded in your journal. It is useful for seeing open quantity, closed-position results and the history behind a position. These records are not a live broker holdings feed or a complete measure of your invested wealth.

A position can only be as accurate as its recorded fills. Verify the account, instrument and quantity when entering a trade or reviewing an import. Missing executions should be corrected before you rely on the position summary.

Follow the remaining quantity

A partial exit reduces a position without necessarily closing it. Multiple entry and exit fills should remain visible in execution history, so you can reconcile the remaining units and average prices.

Do not mix positions from different accounts or instruments. Broker tradebook imports retain source references and need review when the matching sequence is ambiguous. Repeated imports should skip duplicates rather than silently replacing your journal.

Separate realized results from market values

Closed-position realized metrics use the existing journal calculation engine. Charge estimates and broker-confirmed charges are different forms of information and should be reconciled.

A recorded entry or exit price is not a current market quote. Do not interpret the journal as a real-time portfolio valuation, broker balance, tax statement or order-execution tool.

Move from records to review

Use the Trades list to review execution history, Analytics for a defined period and Calendar for daily context. Link strategies where appropriate and retain journal annotations when correcting data.

The journal can organize your records across supported manual and file-import workflows. Official broker API synchronization is a separate capability and is not implied by uploading a tradebook.
