I’m looking for something different than what I’m using, myfxbook.
What are you guys using other than your broker’s tools? I’m using Tradingview and Oanda, but Myfxbook has been up and down lately.
I’m looking for something that will sync Oanda’s trade data automatically.
I know my answer isn’t really the one that you want to hear, but I scribble in a little A6 notebook. It does have a pink cover.
(I’m only really mentioning it because your thread had fallen off the “front page” without a response, and I hoped this might help you out by “bumping” your question, so that perhaps a few more people will see it. The forum’s very quiet at the moment.)
A5 Diary
Used to be A4 but I gravitated to A5
It’s becoming one of those “my notebook is bigger than your notebook” issues. Lol, mine may be tiny but it fits in my bag. 
I use Oanda. Most I know use trading view and Oanda too.
Not sure of all platforms which allow to auto sync. But usually can import a file from Oanda. Perhaps trademetria may be useful (never used it though)
edit: I remember seeing Oanda works with TraderSync platform. Which does it automatically. Don’t know costs. think they have free trial.
Not sure if it’s better or worse than myfxbook, but there’s also fxblue that does something similar.
forexfactory also has some trade tracking thing, but it doesn’t look like it offers much that’s more use than myfxbook.
I suppose it depends on what you want to see. Most platforms allow exporting trades and some form of analysis. If you export your trades, you can analyse whatever you want in excel.
I don’t really obsess over tracking things. I think it encourages target making rather than good trading. ie, I think I should be beating last month’s profit so start pushing the boat out if it’s going slower than it 'should. Or looking at this month’s 40% gain and thinking “this time next year we’ll be millionaires” type thing.
Never heard of it. I’ll give it a look. Thanks.
Yea I’ve seen this. $15 monthly.
Oh man, paper and pencil?!
I gave that a look. Not working though. Too bad…
Last week (05/11-05/17)
No myfxbook, so I’m having to run stats manually. Not so great I have to say.
Okay, for whatever reason, the page is working again. But since I’m not using MT4 or MT5, live sync isn’t available for Oanda fxtrade,at least not real accounts…Only demo.
Yes - paper and pencil!
I hate technology - the calculator in the 80s was the thin end of the wedge - we forgot to how to do mental arithmetic in our heads.
Just wait and see what happens with AI - we will forget how to do anything! 
I do vaguely remember them arriving, had forgotten they were that shape, though. 
Forgot or just not learn a damn thing. Like what’s the point of learning if AI spits everything out for you and you believe it all?
I picked up one of the Premium deals here from 4xtradingjournal. Cool looking hard back trading journal. Made of paper! Entered a couple of trades in it. Uh man it’s a cool process, it gets you to really think your trade, but I’m too lazy to do it!
You can refer to your trading statement ( daily or monthly)
Hello, another paper+pencil fan here 
I give my sincere respect to those who can enjoy technology in order to journal, but as to me I do prefer paper+pencil, they are definitely my thing. I think it’s not only cause I’m an old fashioned “girl” (definitely not a young girl! Haha!), but also cause I found that manual writing has to me a very calming power. Really: I take my trade, I don’t wait for the close (we know the sl/tp doesn’t matter if you follow the rules accurately) and I immediately start journaling, and this simple gesture of writing is incredibly calming. I loooooove holding my pen and writing on paper. Much much better than any breathing or relaxing exercise. Perhaps if it was not so calming I would try some technological way, who knows.
How on earth does anybody find the time to journal all their trades by hand? Just this week I have 39 trades. I’d be buried in books and spend my whole time writing in it. What do you put in it anyway?
Some (many?) people have one or two trades per day, though?
And possibly some people may mean two different things, for “journaling their trades” and “tracking their trade performance”?
Yea, they original question was related to statistics so I didn’t understand how pen and paper helps with this. Then when I started thinking about it, I didn’t really understand what value it actually offers so interested to hear what people use it for.
I don’t think I’d ever read through a book after I’d written in it
I use Discord, with my own private channel. You can set one up very easily.
You can screenshot your trades and make notes, it’s perfect for me.
I also screenshot my Google Docs P&L sheet to it so I keep a track of everything in one place.
This has just landed in my YouTube feed - Whitney Webb is so, so switched on!
