# Trading journal **Hey! 🙂** 👋🏻 I’ve always been heavy on collecting data on every part of my life and career and trading wasn’t an exception. This is the tweet in which I briefly discussed it.

it's a google sheet (spreadsheet) document that I built for the purpose of journaling and collecting data for different aspect of my trading. Since I saw some interest in it I tried to optimize it and change its structure to be more easy to use for others and I also added new features like calendar views and more charts and analysis. *(btw that’s the advantage of having an open source tool. you can do whatever you want. you can do all the calculations and formulas. you can add or remove whatever you want. you can discover and try new stuff.)* I also structured this document in a way that beside finding out how to use this journal you may also learn something useful ! :) **IF you are looking for the trading journal instruction:** [Intro](/how-to-use-it/intro.md) **IF you are looking for payment instruction:** [Payment instruction](/payment-instruction.md) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
