Welcome to CandleLog

Whether you're day trading futures, swing trading stocks, or scalping forex, CandleLog provides the tools you need to become a more disciplined and profitable trader.

What You Can Do

Track Every Trade

Log your trades manually or import them directly from your broker. CandleLog captures all the essential details including entry/exit prices, position size, P&L, and timestamps. Attach screenshots and notes to build a complete record of each trade.

Build and Test Strategies

Create trading strategies with detailed rules for market conditions, entry criteria, and exit criteria. Import from 24+ professional strategy templates including ICT concepts, classic day trading setups, and legendary trader methods. Track which rules you followed on each trade to identify what's working.

Analyze Your Performance

View detailed performance metrics including Net P&L, Win Rate, Profit Factor, and Rules Followed Rate. Understand your strengths and weaknesses with comprehensive analytics that help you make data-driven improvements.

Learn from Missed Opportunities

Log trades you identified but didn't execute. Track the reasons you missed them (hesitation, busy, technical issues) and see what the potential P&L would have been. This helps identify patterns in your psychology and decision-making.
