Is the Trade Plan Builder a trade journal?

No. It builds a plan from your inputs and produces a copyable summary or shareable URL. It does not save executed trades or track win rate over time.

Trade Plan Builder

One form, one plan: entry, stop, target, position size in lots, risk and reward in your account currency, R:R, plus how your sizing compares to Kelly. Shareable via URL — drop a setup into Discord and the receiver sees the same numbers.

What this builder does

It chains the math from three of our calculators into one view: position sizing from your risk percentage and stop distance, risk:reward from entry/stop/target, and Kelly from your edge statistics. The output is a single trade plan you can copy or share.

The plan includes everything a discretionary trader actually needs at the click-buy moment: lot size, risk in account currency, expected reward, R:R, and a sanity check that your sizing isn't above optimal Kelly given your edge.

Why combine these three calcs?

Most retail traders get one of the three right and then mis-size against the others. A pretty 1:3 R:R doesn't matter if you sized the position for a 1% loss on a 10 pip stop and the actual stop is 25 pips. Half-Kelly looks safe in theory but doesn't matter if you don't know your real win rate. This view forces all three into the same plan so you can't accidentally contradict yourself.

Sharing a setup

FAQ

Is this a journal?

No — it doesn't save trades. It builds a plan you can copy or share. A proper journal (with logged entries, outcomes, win rate over time) is on our roadmap as a separate tool.

Why is the Kelly verdict optional?

Kelly needs your win rate and average R-multiple, which most discretionary traders don't have a stable number for. Leave the edge fields blank and the builder still gives you the trade plan; fill them in and you get the bonus sanity check that your sizing isn't over- or under-aggressive given your edge.

Does the share link expose my account balance?

Yes — the share URL encodes everything in the form, including balance and risk %. If you're sharing a setup with someone, you're showing them your sizing context too. If you'd rather strip the personal details, edit the URL hash before sending: drop the balance and risk params and the receiver will see only the trade itself.

Pair this with our price alerts — set an alert at your entry, your stop, and your target so you don't have to babysit the chart while the plan is live.
