Here is a good example of a trading journal https://edgewonk.com/

It even allows you to import external data such as SierraCharts.

The trading statistics you are offering are quite extensive, but from my point of view, it lacks the possibility to analyze single setups, which are entered later manually.

Is it really not possible to integrate an additional field for creating the setup strategies? I know I ask you weeks ago

Why should I use an additional SW, if a good basis is already present?

Many thanks

Are you referring to having a field with the name of the particular Trade Window configuration selected at the time the orders are submitted?

Here's what I think Nick and User642139 are talking about, which I would also find useful.

A discretionary trader has a list of "setups" that s/he trades.
Examples of setups might be breakout failures, support or resistance tests, moving average crossover, reject into trend continuation, price/momentum divergence at Tick extreme, etc., etc.
The list of possible setups is endless, but ideally a trader has developed a trading plan involving a set of specific, discrete setups which will be traded, and knows which setup is triggering each trade.

A good trading journal allows you to label each trade with the setup that triggered it, and then to generate statistics by setup.
It's very helpful to know which setups are making money, and which ones are losing money!

Yes, it would certainly be helpful to track the Trade Window configuration for each trade.
But there probably isn't a 1:1 correspondence between setup types and Trade Window configurations.
So ideally Sierra would also provide a custom field for each trade, and allow the user to define the title of the field and the list of potential text values for the field, which then can be selected from a dropdown for any given trade.

Actually, if you're going to do this, you might as well provide 2 or 3 such custom fields.
I'm sure we traders can come up with many creative uses for such a capability!

Kind regards,
Merlin

Attached is an example. There is an additional field you can select.

How to organize I don't know (maybe an additional field in the DOM or in the "Edit Window" of the TradeActivityLog).

We will start on this, in the next couple of weeks. We should have this all done in a day or two.

This is done and released.

You can set a Text Tag on the Set tab of the Trade Window. There is also an option to use the Trade Window configuration name.

Many txs. As I could see you can filter by note and the "Trade Activity" contains that field.

Is it also possible to see that field in section "Trades". It would be helpful if you copy/ paste the single trades in excel or similiar.

To edit a trade it would be also helpful to see that "note" field (see pic)
