Most trade journals act like you have one account. If you trade prop firms you have a dozen: evals, funded, live, and a few you blew up last month. So I built a journal for NinjaTrader 8 around that. It's free. Thread:

And just like that, levels, price, and structure don’t matter. It’s perps, get used to it. Just trade and make money. Kidding aside, it’s a great payout model for us traders but I’m still betting on products that lean on the CME data long term.

I have a 5.5 hour drive to see my grandsons and a few new audiobooks. Which one do I start?

This is pretty interesting. Going to give it another read when I have time to dig in more.

I have to confess: I made a lot more scalping off of vibes than sticking to my strategy this past week. Needed to get through some evals and then took that method to some funded.

Journaling takes seconds, so you actually do it. Click a trade, see it on the chart, rate the execution, type a note, paste a screenshot. Tag the setup. Tag the mistake. Then see what each one earns or costs you.

Just added AI analysis overlay for my Financial Juice UX reskin. Is this something you would use?

Don't sleep on LuxAlgo Vela open source charts. Incorporating them into my personal journal was seemless. velacharts.dev/

I use @financialjuice every day. The news is great, but I find the site a little hard to read, so I made a Chrome extension to make it easier on my eyes. Bigger text, a cleaner layout, light/dark themes, and one click to turn it on or off. Here’s the before and after. I made it for myself, but figured others might find it useful too. It’s free—reply if you want to try it and I’ll send it over. (Unofficial)

Haven’t bought an eval all month. Just base hitting 13 funded accounts. Prop firms hate when you do this.

$33 a month for @financialjuice is such a good deal. 5 hours left. Don’t sleep on this offer.
