Frequently asked questions
What should a trading journal template for India include?
An Indian trading journal template should track: date, instrument (including F&O contract details), segment (EQ/F&O), entry price, exit price, quantity/lots, net P&L after brokerage, setup name, mistakes, and emotion. NSE/BSE specific fields like lot size, expiry date, and strike price are useful for F&O traders.
Should I use Excel or a trading journal app?
Excel works for tracking raw data but has no automatic performance calculations, no AI analysis, and requires manual upkeep. A dedicated app like TJL Pro auto-calculates win rate, profit factor, equity curve, and lets you import directly from a broker CSV — saving hours of manual entry every week.
Is TJL Pro really free?
Yes. Every TJL Pro account starts with a free 7-day Pro trial — no credit card needed. It includes trade journal, CSV import from any broker, P&L calendar heatmap, performance analytics, mistakes tracker, and rule book.
Can I import my Excel trading log into TJL Pro?
If your Excel data came from a any broker tradebook export, you can upload it directly to TJL Pro. For custom Excel formats, importing directly isn't supported yet — but you can always add trades manually.
