4.2Log a trade manually
What is it? For accounts without sync you enter trades yourself; PnL, risk and R are calculated.
What you get
- Gross and net PnL from prices and contract size
- R-multiple from stop loss or risk amount
- Contract size from your symbol specifications
How it works
- Open “Trades” › “New trade” (only for accounts without sync).
- Enter account, symbol, direction, times, prices and quantity.
- Add costs (commission, fees, swap) and optionally a stop loss.
- Save; fill in journal fields now or later.
Good to know
- You enter times in Europe/Berlin; they are stored in UTC.
- If a contract size is missing, add it in settings under symbol specifications.
FAQ
- Can I enter the PnL myself?
- Yes, there's an override if your platform calculates differently.
