Ever wonder why you keep making the same mistakes? Or why some setups just work better for you than others? That’s where the Trading Journal comes in. It automatically pulls in all your closed trades and gives you a place to write down what you were thinking, how you felt, and what you learned.

​
Getting There

Head to dashboard.heroncopier.com, log in with your license key, and click “Journal” in the sidebar.

​
Your Trade History

All your closed trades show up here automatically — no manual entry needed. You’ll see the basics: when you got in, when you got out, what symbol, lot size, and how much you made (or lost). Everything’s pulled from your connected accounts.

​
Adding Notes

Click on any trade to open it up. This is where things get useful. You can write down:
  • Why you took the trade in the first place
  • What the market looked like at the time
  • How you were feeling (tired? overconfident? revenge trading?)
  • What you’d do differently next time
The notes field supports Markdown formatting, so you’re free to structure your entries however you like — use headers, bullet points, bold text, links, code blocks, whatever works for you. If you know Markdown, go nuts. If you don’t, just write plain text and it’ll look fine. You can also tag your emotional state and give the trade a rating. These come in handy later when you’re trying to spot patterns like “I always lose money when I trade while anxious” or “my 5-star setups actually have a 70% win rate.”

​
Finding Specific Trades

Use the filters to narrow things down:
  • Date range
  • Symbol
  • Account
  • Winners vs losers
  • Or just search for keywords in your notes

​
Sharing

Want to show off a trade (or share a lesson learned)? You can share individual trades to social media directly from the journal. If you want to go further, you can make your entire journal public. Just flip the switch in settings and you’ll get a shareable link.

​
Making the Most of It

Look, the journal only helps if you actually use it. Here’s what works:
  • Write something for every trade, even if it’s just “followed my rules” or “FOMO’d in, bad idea”
  • Be honest — nobody else has to see this unless you want them to
  • Review your entries once a week — patterns become obvious pretty quickly
  • Pay attention to your emotions — there’s usually a correlation between how you felt and how the trade went
The traders who improve fastest are the ones who treat their journal like a learning tool, not a chore. Your future self will thank you.
