Journal Entry Types
The 9 journal entry types in Tradris — each captures a different moment in your trading story.
Every trade tells a story. Tradris gives you 9 entry types to capture each chapter — from the moment you spot a setup to the lesson you take away weeks later.
Each entry earns +10 discipline points toward your level progression.
You don't need to memorize these
Just talk to TradrisAI naturally — tell it what's on your mind, how you're feeling, what you learned, or why you entered a trade. TradrisAI automatically categorizes your entry into the right type based on what you said.
Trade-Level Entries
These attach to a specific trade and build its activity timeline.
The moment you pull the trigger. Capture your setup, thesis, and what you expect. Tracked by the 5-pillar discipline score.
Mid-trade check-ins. Is your thesis holding? What's changed? Demonstrates active trade management.
Why you closed. Was it planned or reactive? Did emotions play a role? Also tracked by the 5-pillar discipline score.
Free-form thoughts about the trade — observations, reminders, or anything that doesn't fit another type.
Created automatically when you add or reduce shares. Records quantity, price, and direction.
Tradris detects when you change your target, stop loss, or holding period — and prompts you to explain why. This is where you catch plan drift.
Timeline-Level Entries
Standalone entries on your main journal timeline — not tied to any trade. Includes both manual journal entries and auto-generated framework change records.
Your default. Market thoughts, daily observations, anything that doesn't fit another type. Journaling on no-trade days is a sign of a serious trader.
Market research, sector views, and technical analysis. The homework you do before placing a trade.
Name it to tame it. Fear, greed, frustration, overconfidence — tracking these surfaces the behavioral patterns that drive your P&L.
Your personal trading playbook. Hard-won insights that compound over time. Review these weekly.
Auto-generated when you modify risk rules, strategy playbooks, entry/exit rules, or portfolio settings. Captures what changed, old vs new values, and your reason — so your timeline shows how your framework evolves over time.
How Discipline Scoring Works
Every manual journal entry earns +10 Discipline Points. That is the habit loop.
A closed trade also gets a 1 to 5 star rating from a five-pillar process score (planning, risk, execution, and related pillars). Stars are not entries × 10. See Gamification & Discipline Path for the full v3 rules, close-trade bonuses, and star bands.
Auto-generated entries (Position, Change of Plans) do not earn the +10 points the way a manual note does, but they keep the timeline honest.
Tips
- Use specific types — resist dumping everything into Note. Specific types make your journal searchable and power smarter TradrisAI insights.
- Don't skip emotions — they feel awkward at first but produce the most surprising AI insights.
- Let plan changes prompt you — don't dismiss the prompt. That's where you catch yourself drifting.
- Review lessons weekly — they're your personal trading playbook.
