Log a trade

Click Log Trade on the Dashboard or in the Journal. The pre-trade checklist always opens first; after it you land on the Log Trade page.

Red Candle never asks for money values. You record prices and the outcome; the app works out risk : reward and win rate from those.

Screenshot Trade

Add chart images under Before entry and After / Result: drag them in, paste with ⌘V / Ctrl+V, or click Timeline to pick screenshots you already saved (screenshots of this pair up to the day after the trade). New images are also added to your Timeline with this trade's pair.

Detail Trade

• When — date and time of the entry (you can backdate), and the Timeframe.
• Direction — Buy or Sell.
• Entry — required.
• Lot — optional.
• Stop Loss and Take Profit — optional, but without a stop the risk isn't defined. For a Buy the stop is below the entry and the take profit above it; for a Sell, the other way round. Red Candle tells you if they're on the wrong side.
• Planned RR (auto) — calculated from entry, stop loss and take profit. It needs both. If it's below your minimum in Checklist & Rules, you see a warning.
• Outcome — Open, Win, Loss or BE (break-even). Leave it Open and update it when the trade closes.
• Setup — pick one, or + New setup to name a new one.
• Emotion at entry — Calm, Hesitant, Fearful, FOMO or Revenge.
• Followed trading plan — filled in from the checklist: "All checklist rules met before entry", or "Marked as Broken" with the reason you gave.
• Notes & lessons — what went well, what to do differently.
