Live on the chart
See open profit update as price moves
Your journal sits under TradingView. The open row tracks the trade while the market moves.
On TradingView
Built into the chart that you already use
JouView runs inside TradingView, so your journal stays next to price. Columns, colors, nested groups, and stats are included.
Web and Desktop
Use the browser add-on for TradingView web (Chrome, Edge, or Firefox), or TradingView x JouView for Windows Desktop. You get the same journal either way.
Custom columns
Add setups, tags, formulas, and nested-group fields so each row matches your playbook.
Colors and style rules
Highlight wins, losses, or tagged setups so the journal is easy to read at a glance.
Stats on your trades
See win rate, expectancy, run-up, drawdown, and more from the journal that you build on TradingView.
Paper trading on the chart
Open simulated trades as they go live. Track P&L without calculating every fill by hand. They use the same journal as live rows.
Example layouts
Same product, different setups. Start simple, then add colors, nested groups, and formulas as you go.
Clean day-trading layout
A short column set for quick sessions: setup tag, size, and P&L with win/loss colors.
| Date | Symbol | Setup | Lots | Profit | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mon 09:42 | ES | CBreak | 2 | +420 | Clean retest |
| Mon 11:05 | NQ | Impulse | 1 | -180 | Early entry |
| Mon 14:20 | ES | CBreak R | 2 | +310 |
Checklist layout
Tick a few rules after each trade. A simple score formula counts how many you followed.
| Symbol | Setup | Planned | Retest | Liquidity | Score | Profit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ES | CBreak | Yes | Yes | Yes | 3/3 | +420 |
| NQ | Impulse | Yes | No | Yes | 2/3 | -180 |
| ES | Bias | No | No | Yes | 1/3 | -95 |
Score = [Planned] + [Retest] + [Liquidity]
Formulas and risk layout
Keep risk and reward visible with short formulas. RR comes from profit and risk. A running total tracks the day.
| Symbol | Setup | Risk | Profit | RR | Cumulative |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ES | CBreak | 200 | +420 | 2.1 | +420 |
| NQ | Impulse | 180 | -180 | -1.0 | +240 |
| ES | CBreak R | 200 | +310 | 1.6 | +550 |
RR = [Profit] / [Risk]
Statistics from the same journal
Once rows are filled, stats summarize what worked. You don't leave TradingView.
