Trade Logging

# Three Ways to Log. Zero Excuses.

Profitable traders log every trade — so we built three input methods to make the habit effortless. Entry/exit prices, direct P&L, or daily totals. Pick the method that matches your data. Every trade updates your stats instantly.

## You skip journaling because it takes too long.

The form asks for 12 fields. You have 30 seconds between trades. By the time you open a spreadsheet, the next setup is gone.

ohYaaa gives you three ways to log — so you can pick the method that matches your data and your pace. Entry prices from your broker? Direct P&L from your statement? Just your daily total? All three work.

Method 1

### Entry/Exit Prices

The detailed method. Enter your entry price, exit price, and position size — we calculate P&L automatically. Trade length calculated from dates. Supports long and short.

- Auto-calculated P&L
- Long and short positions
- Trade length from dates

Method 2

### Direct P&L

Just know you made $150? Enter it directly. No need to dig up entry and exit prices. One field. Positive or negative. Done.

- Single field entry
- Positive or negative values
- Fastest method

Method 3

### Daily Total

Enter your running daily P&L total, and we calculate what this trade contributed. Shows other trades on that day. Real-time calculation preview.

- Enter daily total, we do the math

## What changes when every trade is captured.

### Every trade captured before you forget

Not minutes. Not “I'll do it later.” Seconds.

### Every stat updated instantly

Win rate, P&L, setup performance — all real-time.

### Every excuse eliminated

Three methods means there's always one that fits.

## Logged by you, on purpose.

ohYaaa does not import trades from your broker. Recording a trade is the first review: you assign the setup, name the mistake and note why you took it while the trade is fresh. An imported trade arrives without any of that.

## Built for the way trades actually happen

Beyond a single entry and a single exit.

### Scale in and out

Add a row for every entry and exit. ohYaaa works out your average entry, average exit and realized P&L on the size you actually exited. [How scaling is calculated](/blog/journal-scaling-in-and-out).

### Commissions and fees

Set your all-in fee per contract per side once in your Profile; new futures trades subtract it so P&L matches your broker. Override it on any trade. [Why fees belong in your journal](/blog/trading-fees-commissions-journal).

### Trade triggers

Tick what made you take the trade, from a list you define, and see which reasons make or lose money. [Setup versus trigger](/blog/trade-triggers-why-you-took-the-trade).

### Hover to preview

Hover a trade row to see its full details, time-stamped notes and an enlarged screenshot without leaving the list.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I log a trade with several entries and exits?

Yes. The Entry/Exit tab is a list of fills; ohYaaa works out average entry, average exit and realized P&L on the size exited.

### Does ohYaaa include commissions and fees?

Yes. Set a per-contract, per-side futures fee in your Profile and override it on any trade.

### What are trade triggers?

The reason you took a trade, from a list you define. Reports show which triggers make or lose money.

## Your first trade is just a click away.
