When I try to use this awesome looking Trade Journal, the “entry price”, “stop loss” and “take profit” boxes all have drop down arrows in them on the “Journal page”. The drop down boxes instead of containing numerical data have currency pairs listed in them. The boxes won’t accept numbers and say “invalid value”
I am an absolute beginner so thank you for the spreadsheet; I know even less about excel. Is it possible to add a timecolumn and automatically add the time with a single click. I will be scalping.
I just wanted to say a big thank you to whoever made that Excel spreadsheet. Its quality!
I am just starting out and was in the process of making my own. This is exactly what I was trying to create. Also re-assuring to know I must be doing something right given the elements I had jotted down on my notepad and that are included in the spreadsheet.
Confirmation is always good in my opinion. Regardless if you use the spreadsheet provided or have your own, I think it is very important to keep a trade journal.

Hey guys!
Rather than creating your own excel journal, find an online ready and free journal, that will be much superior and professional. E.g. go to myFXbook, register and connect your account there. They support several brokers and the journal is automaticely getting updated with the infos from your trades. Otherwise, you can open e.g. a paper OANDA account (it’s free and not time-limited) and connect it to OANDA. And it would even better, if you have an account at TradingView (it’s way better in my opinion than mt4) and you connect your oanda account with TradingView and onda with myFXbook. You 'll have a very comprehensive journal with many useful statistics (actually all you need for backtesting you strategy and evaluating the future of your account).
Myfxbook is great but when the mt4 platform looses the connection it becomes a hassle and you don’t get all the history at times. Using a journal gets you into the practice of journaling and looking for why you made the trade in the first place and also you can go back and see were you went wrong. Just my opinion.
