Trade Risk

Journal and fills

The journal is the fill blotter for a trade log. It is not a separate product: /trades opens the Journal tab of the same React desk as Trade Risk.

How a log is shared

  • Each signed-in account gets a default log named Main with a $100,000 starting balance. You can add more logs from the header.
  • The selected log is stored on ?trade_log_id=. Switching logs on Risk or Journal keeps that id.
  • Open futures fills in that log become the live book. Equities can be journaled too; risk sizing is built for listed futures products.
  • Hypothetical adds/trims on Risk are in-memory only. They do not write journal rows and they do not place orders.

What you can do

  • New trade — entry, side, quantity, and prices. The form stays on the selected log.
  • Import — paste a broker blotter on the import page; imported fills land in your default or selected log.
  • Close / partial / scale in — update an open fill, then return to the Journal tab.
  • Notes and reports — per-trade notes, plus the existing trade reports page.

From fill to dollar risk

  1. Open the journal (or the Journal tab on Trade Risk).
  2. Add or import an open futures fill (ticker such as KC or NG).
  3. Switch to Risk. The position shows notional, indicative margin, and typical daily $ versus starting balance.
  4. Optionally model an add/trim, then run Review with AI — the write-up stays on the page and does not use chat message limits.
