I must to analyze my trades as I make the same mistakes again and again. Any experience with a trade journal?
I've tried https://www.meetpips.com/ but they do not support fxtrade from Oanda.

What are you looking to have in a trade journal? How should it look? An image/sketch would be much appreciated!

Myfxbook is in fact perfect when it comes to registering my trades. The ting I'm missing for each trade is the possibility to write why did i executed the trade. The subjects could be:
- timeframe
- instruments and what did it say
- my mood/feelings

So I can analyze the all of my trades and see what I'm doing wrong and what i working.

Ethan, please also look into the possibility to add non-MT4 accounts and different brokers with manual entry :-)

Oanda has MT4, isn't it? Just download the platform and combine your MT4 with tradeFX.

It's possible to link fxTrader with myfxbook. Just did it. Need to select the new feature in accounts setting.
