Frequently Asked Questions

Why do day traders need a trading journal?

Day traders make many trades daily. Without a journal, patterns — both good and bad — remain invisible. A journal lets you analyse win rate by session, time of day, and setup type, so you can eliminate losing patterns and increase allocation to your best setups.

What should I log in a day trading journal?

At minimum: instrument, direction, entry price, exit price, stop loss, P&L, and one note about why you took the trade. ProfitLogHQ auto-calculates R-multiple, risk/reward, and P&L — you just fill in the trade details and your reasoning.

Does ProfitLogHQ show performance by time of day?

Yes. ProfitLogHQ includes a time-of-day heatmap that shows your P&L and win rate broken down by hour and day of week. Most day traders discover that 70%+ of their profits come from a specific 2–3 hour window — and the heatmap makes this instantly visible.

Can I use ProfitLogHQ for scalping?

Yes. ProfitLogHQ handles trades of any duration — from seconds to months. Scalps are logged exactly like any other trade. The time-of-day analytics are especially useful for scalpers who need to identify their optimal execution windows.

Does ProfitLogHQ work for prop firm traders?

Yes. ProfitLogHQ has a dedicated Prop Firm Challenges tracker. You can monitor your daily P&L, max drawdown, and trading days against your challenge targets in real time, with automatic status: On Track, At Risk, or Passed.
