Tradeful Notes: A Complete Redesign of Your Trading Journal
Your trading journal just got a massive upgrade. We've completely rebuilt the note-taking experience from the ground up and we didn't just slap on a fresh coat of paint. This is an entirely new system designed to help you capture insights faster, stay organized, and actually use your notes when they matter most.
Say hello to Tradeful Notes.
What's New?
We renamed "Trading Journal" to "Trading Notes" and with it comes a whole new way to document your trading journey.
Hierarchical Folders
Organize your notes exactly how your brain works. Create folders, nest them inside other folders, and build a structure that makes sense for you. Group notes by strategy, by month, by asset whatever fits your workflow.
Drag & Drop Everything
Rearranging your notes is now as simple as dragging and dropping. Move notes between folders, reorder your file structure, and keep everything exactly where you want it. No more hunting through a messy list.
Search Through Everything
Finally real search. Find any note instantly by searching keywords, trade details, or anything you've written. No more scrolling through endless entries.
Media Uploads
Attach screenshots, charts, and images directly to your notes. Document exactly what you saw when you took that trade.
Autosave
Your notes save automatically as you type. Close the tab, lose connection, it doesn't matter your work is always safe.
Built for Backtesting
The best part? Notes are now deeply integrated into your backtesting workflow.
Automatic Trade Notes
Every time you take a trade during a backtesting session, you can instantly create a note. That note gets automatically stored in a folder named after your session, with the basic trade information already filled in at the top. No copy-pasting. No switching tabs. Just document and move on.
Keyboard Shortcuts
Access your notes without breaking your flow:
Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
CMD/Ctrl + B | Create a trade note |
CMD/Ctrl + O | Open the notes file explorer |
CMD/Ctrl + J | Quick notes popup |
Floating Notes Popup
This is a game-changer. A floating notes window you can open anywhere while backtesting, while reviewing your dashboard, whenever. Glance at your strategy rules mid-session or jot down a quick thought without leaving what you're doing.
Why This Matters
Most traders know they should journal. Few actually do it consistently. The old system made it too easy to skip too many clicks, too disconnected from the actual trading experience.
Tradeful Notes removes every excuse. It's fast, it's integrated, and it's built around how traders actually work. Document your trades in the moment. Review them later with powerful organization. Build the kind of self-awareness that separates consistent traders from everyone else.
