• MFE (Maximum Favorable Excursion)

These values are calculated in real-time while the trade is open.

Metrics available:

Multi-Instance Safety

The indicator prevents duplicate trade recording.

Protection methods:

• execution ID deduplication

• global execution cache

• automatic cleanup of old execution IDs

This prevents multiple chart instances from counting the same trade twice.

---

Thread-Safe Persistence

State saving is protected with:

• async write queue

• save throttling

• file locking

• thread synchronization

This prevents file corruption when multiple events trigger saves.

---

Instrument Safety

State files are tied to the specific instrument.

If a chart loads a different contract (e.g. rollover):

• saved state is ignored

• a new journal session begins

This prevents mixing trades across contracts.

---

Configurable Interface

Users can customize:

• panel size

• panel position

• panel opacity

• font size

• color scheme

• statistics visibility

• marker display

---

Limitations

The following limitations apply.

Chart size

in windowed chart mode, the chart may not be fully visible if the font size is large enough in comparison to the size of the chart window. Reducing font size is the recommended solution.

Historical Trades

TradeJournal does not reconstruct historical trades that occurred before the indicator was loaded.

It only records trades while the indicator is running.

---

Account Reconciliation

The indicator does not reconstruct trades that occurred while it was offline.

If the indicator starts while a position is already open:

• the existing position will not be journaled correctly until closed

Multi-Account Trading

The indicator tracks executions for one selected account only.

Simultaneous trading across multiple accounts is not supported in a single instance.

---

Data Scope

Statistics apply only to the chart’s instrument.

Trades in other instruments are not included.
