Using Trade Comments and ratings

For each trade, you can assign trade entry, management and trade exit comments.

Those can be created directly at the time of your trade input or through Settings > Trade Comments.

Purpose of Trade Comments

For each trade in Edgewonk, you can describe your entry, exit and your trade management decision/behavior using a Trade Comment.

Each comment can have a positive, negative or neutral rating. 

If you broke your rules, deviated from the plan, or did something you should not have done, you'd assign a negative rating.

If the comment describes something you did well and was in accordance with your trading plan, you assign a positive rating.

If you are unsure, you can select a neutral rating.

The Trade Comments and the ratings will unlock the Tiltmeter in Edgewonk and you can visualize how well you execute your trades and how good you are at sticking to your rules.

New Trade Comment

When you start a new database/journal, you won't have any Trade Comments yet. 

The Trade Comments settings page shows three columns for entry, exit and trade management comments.

By clicking on the white button, you can add a new Trade Comment.

New Trade Comment II

After you clicked the "Add +" button, a new row will show up.

Double-click the "Untitled" comment and you can edit and rename the comment.

Then select a rating by clicking on the Negative rating. This opens the dropdown with all selections.

If you broke your rules, deviated from the plan, or did something you should not have done, you'd assign a negative rating.

If the comment describes something you did well and was in accordance with your trading plan, you assign a positive rating.

If you are unsure, you can select a neutral rating.
