Hello Investors and Traders!
Imagine having a full-featured trading journal that feels like a $20–50/month SaaS tool… except it’s completely free, lives entirely in your browser, never phones home, and you own your data forever. That’s RetireByInvesting Trading Journal – a single HTML file packed with everything serious discretionary stock traders actually use every day.
Clean, Fast, Mobile-Ready Interface
Dark/light theme, collapsible sidebar, keyboard shortcuts (N = new trade, 1–7 = jump to any page, ? = help), undo/redo, toasts, and responsive design that turns into touch-friendly cards on your phone. No laggy cloud sync nonsense – everything is instant because it’s local.
Trade Entry That Matches How You Actually Trade
One modal handles it all: complete round-trips, single BUY/SELL legs, scaled partial exits (tagged “Scaled @ 3R – Runner Active”), and manually flagged open positions. Enter MAE/MFE, entry/exit times (feeds the heatmap), custom labels (breakout, pullback, etc.), rich notes, and – best of all – attach multiple chart screenshots with drag-drop or Ctrl+V paste. Screenshots auto-compress and open in a clean full-screen lightbox with arrow navigation. No more “where did I save that NVDA setup pic?”
Position & Risk Discipline Built In
Executions automatically group by ticker + ~7-day window and show as expandable rows. Open positions live in a sidebar widget with avg entry, shares, and cost basis. The position-size calculator appears in four places (quick dashboard widget, full page, settings, everywhere risk matters) and toggles between % of account and fixed-dollar risk – instantly showing shares, $ at risk, total cost, and % exposure. Set a daily loss limit % and get a red banner the moment you breach it. Never guess position size again.
Analytics That Actually Help You Improve
Dashboard gives you 12 color-coded cards at a glance: win rate, profit factor, expectancy, R:R, payoff ratio, streaks (with 5-win / 3-loss alerts), max drawdown, and more. Equity curve supports all/YTD/3M/1M views + optional 10/20/50/200 SMA overlays with automatic 50-SMA breach warnings. Win/loss doughnut, P&L-by-setup bars, daily/weekly/monthly/yearly breakdowns, and a beautiful day-of-week × time-of-day heatmap that highlights your real edge (and your danger zones).The killer feature?
Strategy Audit.
It scores every trade’s relative strength against SPY/QQQ/IWM/MDY, checks whether you entered above prior highs, whether the index was above its 21 EMA, and whether you exited prematurely. It then compares win rate when rules were followed vs violated and spits out blunt, actionable recommendations: “Avoid trading when index below 21 EMA,” “Wait for proper breakout confirmation,” etc. This is the accountability most traders pay thousands for coaching to get.
Playbook + Reflection That Evolves With You
Build your personal playbook: document setups with entry/exit rules, risk %, target R, mistakes to avoid, and example chart images. Every card automatically pulls live stats from your actual trades – trade count, win rate, total P&L. Full-text notes search spans everything you’ve ever written. Save common setups as templates for one-click entry. Attach screenshots to remind yourself exactly what the chart looked like.
Broker Imports & Exports That Just Work
Drop a CSV from Fidelity Brokeragelink, thinkorswim, IBKR, Schwab, Robinhood, Webull (or generic) – it auto-detects format, matches FIFO, flags open positions, and warns about orphaned sells. Export back out as clean CSV, multi-sheet Excel (trades + summary + by-setup + monthly + winners/losers), polished PDF performance reports, or basic tax summaries.
Privacy, Control, No BS
No accounts, no cloud dependency, no usage tracking. Optional beta Google Drive sync if you want multi-device access. Daily JSON auto-backup for peace of mind. If the file gets too big, IndexedDB takes over seamlessly.Traders spend hundreds – sometimes thousands – per year on journal software that does less, locks you in, and sells your data. RetireByInvesting gives you enterprise-grade logging, analytics, risk tools, reflection, and broker integration… for the price of saving one HTML file.Open it once, start logging, and watch your process sharpen. Your future self will thank you. Ready to level up without the subscription trap? Just download, open, and trade like you mean it.
