Everything you need, and nothing you don't.
Both versions. You never go looking for a download again.
Read-only. Your broker refuses orders on this permission — it isn't a promise the app makes.
Read-only. It cannot place, modify or close an order. Reconnecting never duplicates a trade.
The export comes from TradingView, not your broker — so changing brokers later doesn't break your journal.
A contract size is wrong. Fixing one usually fixes the lot.
Nothing you import carries a profit figure, so the app works it out from (exit − entry) × quantity × multiplier. Contract sizes aren't standardised between brokers, and a wrong one doesn't break anything — it just makes every number wrong by the same factor, and entirely believable. With a broker connected the app solves the real figure from your own closed trades. Otherwise: Settings → Symbol Contract Multipliers.
A connected broker brings these in by itself; otherwise enter them in the Account panel. Without them a deposit reads as a winning streak and a withdrawal as a drawdown.
Toggle a trade off in the Trades tab and it leaves every statistic without leaving your history. Exclusions are stored separately, so re-importing never resurrects them.
40% is excellent if your winners are three times your losers. 75% is a slow death if one loss wipes out six wins. Read it beside average win against average loss.
Gross profit over gross loss. Above 1 you're making money; around 1.5 is solid. Very high over few trades usually means the bad stretch hasn't arrived yet.
A smooth climb and a jagged one can finish at the same number and represent completely different risk. The drawdowns are the part to look at.
If one session is meaningfully worse across a decent number of trades, the cheapest improvement available to you is to stop trading it.
Worst day and longest losing streak are what your approach is capable of doing to you. Assume both happen again, larger, and size for it.
Write your state and your reasoning, not the price action — the chart is reconstructable later, your mindset isn't. "Entered before CPI out of boredom." Not "gold went up."
"That file doesn't look like a TradingView orders-filled export"
Wrong file — the export offers several, and you want orders. Also check it hasn't been re-saved in Excel, which rewrites the headers.
My profit doesn't match my broker
A contract size is wrong for one symbol — see above. If the gap is small and consistent, it's probably commission you haven't entered.
Trades I don't recognise appeared
Demo or paper fills that came along in an export. Turn them off in the Trades tab rather than deleting — they stay off even if you re-import.
News or currency rates won't load
The only two parts that need internet. If you opened the HTML file directly instead of the installed app, browsers block those requests.
The market feed is showing headlines
Normal on a phone — a browser can't hold that connection. On Windows the source is rate-limiting, and it recovers on its own.
My journal is empty after an update
Your data is tied to the address the app runs on, so it has opened differently than usual. Close it fully and relaunch from the desktop shortcut.
