Logging a trade, the account cards and P&L calendar, a trading day and the playbook, filmed in the real template.
What it does that most trading journals don’t
We read 633 reviews of other trading journals in Notion. Traders ask for a simple one, for profit by strategy and for a calendar that fills in on its own. This one is built around those three.
-
A P&L calendar that fills itself
Each trade shows on its day in green or red, with its result. Click one to open it.
-
Every setup gets a score
Link a trade to a setup in your Playbook. Its card shows the win rate, the number of trades, net P&L and average R.
-
Each account on its own
Live, demo or a challenge, each with its balance, win rate, profit factor and average R. A challenge shows how close you are to the profit target.
-
What your mistakes cost
Tag a trade with Moved stop, Chased entry or Oversized. The main page adds up the last 30 days for each mistake.
We set it up from a fresh copy, the way you’ll get it: cleared the sample, logged a trade to the Main account, started a trading day and logged a trade from it, then brought the sample back.
What’s inside
The main page has your account cards, the P&L calendar, your recent trades, the Playbook and what mistakes cost you. Trades, Daily journal, Playbook, Accounts and the Trading plan each have a page of their own.
Trading days
Before the open: your bias, mood, a four-point checklist and the plan. After the close: a review. Trades logged from the day link to it, and the day shows its P&L.
Playbook
One page per setup with the idea, markets and timeframe, and every trade that used it, with the win rate, net P&L and average R.
Accounts
Starting balance, type and broker, plus a profit target for challenges. The card shows the share of the target you’ve made, or Profit target reached.
Trades
Tabs for all trades, a calendar and open trades, and tables by month, quarter or year with the count and net P&L for each.
Trading plan
Your rules, your risk limits and a weekly review, on one page you can read before the open.
Also in the template
-
Options, futures, forex
Options count 100 shares a contract. Futures take a point value in Multiplier, and forex size goes in units.
-
Manual P&L
Scaled in and out, or rather type the result? Manual P&L replaces the math.
-
Open trades
Leave Exit empty and the trade shows as Open. It counts in your stats once you close it.
-
Sample data
Three accounts and a month of trades show how it works. One button clears them, and your Main account and five starter setups stay.

Questions
Does it work on the free Notion plan?
Yes, all of it.
What currency does it use?
US dollars. Trading a pair that doesn’t end in USD? Type your dollar result in Manual P&L.
How is P&L worked out?
Exit minus entry, times size, minus fees, with the sign flipped for a short. Options count 100 shares per contract, and futures use the point value you put in Multiplier.
Can I track a prop firm challenge?
Yes. Add it as an account with the type Challenge and fill in the profit target. Its card shows the share of the target you’ve made so far. Drawdown limits aren’t tracked.
Can I log a trade from my phone?
Yes. In the Notion app, tap + Log trade on the main page. Add the journal to your Favorites so it’s quick to reach.
Is this financial advice?
No. It’s a journal for keeping your own records. It doesn’t suggest trades or promise any results, and trading involves risk.
Where does the template go after I pay?
You download a Start here PDF from Etsy with the template link. Open the link and click the Duplicate icon at the top of the page, and the copy is yours to keep and change.
