A swing trading journal built for Indian traders. Log multi-day trades, track holding periods, review setups, and find which patterns give you the best edge on NSE and BSE.
A swing trading journal is a structured record of every multi-day trade you take — capturing the setup that triggered your entry, your planned target and stop-loss, how the trade evolved over its holding period, and the final outcome.
Unlike intraday trading, swing trades can last days or weeks. Your journal needs to capture the original thesis, overnight risk, and whether you held according to your plan — or made emotional exits.
Over time, your journal reveals which setups, sectors, and market conditions give you the best expectancy as a swing trader.
TradeDiary has every field and analytics a swing trader needs to review performance systematically.
Log entry and exit dates. TradeDiary automatically calculates holding period and shows how it correlates with your P&L.
Tag every swing trade with the setup name (breakout, pullback, trend continuation, etc.) to see which patterns perform best.
Compare win rate, average R:R, and total P&L across different swing setups and strategies over any time period.
Attach before-entry and after-exit chart screenshots to every trade for a visual record of your decisions.
Tag exits made out of fear, targets that were cut short, or stop-losses that were moved. Know exactly what discipline errors cost you.
Auto-import trades from Zerodha, Dhan, and Upstox so you never miss logging a swing trade.
