JouView features for TradingView journaling

JouView is a live journal that you build around your playbook. Use custom columns, colors, nested groups, formulas, and stats. Review trades without leaving TradingView. Click any screenshot to expand.

Layout examples

Clean day-trading layout

Few columns, win/loss colors on Profit, and an optional setup highlight.

Color rules

ESCBreak2+420Clean retest
NQImpulse1-180Early entry

Nested group layout

Example: a personal playbook checklist packed into a nested group. It has three yes/no rules plus a score.

Nested groupFormula
SetupPlanned tradeRetest doneLiquidity grabbedChecklist score
CBreakYesYesYes3
ImpulseYesNoYes2
Checklist score = [Planned trade] + [Retest done] + [Liquidity grabbed]

Formulas for risk

Very small formulas go a long way: addition, division, averages.

RR = [Profit] / [Risk]
Net = [Profit] - [Fees]
Avg R = ([RR1] + [RR2] + [RR3]) / 3

Statistics

Built from the same journal rows.

When you place a Long or Short drawing, the journal can follow direction, entry, stop, and target. Risk stays visible on both the chart and the row.

  • Direction follows Long/Short tools
  • Stops and targets on the chart
  • Risk and reward stay aligned

Paper trading environment

Use JouView to paper trade on TradingView. Open simulated trades as they go live, watch P&L update, and track every decision in the same journal. You don't calculate every fill by hand, and you don't need a broker connection.

  • Open trades as price unfolds
  • P&L without manual fill math
  • Same journal as real sessions
Simulate a live short for paper trading

Broker and live positions

Works with any broker that you trade through TradingView. Bring those fills into the same journal. See live profit on open rows. Use optional auto break-even. Confirm before adding when you want control.

  • Any TradingView-connected broker
  • Live profit while the position is open
  • Ask-before-adding when you prefer it

  • Run-up and drawdown tracking

Formulas and computed columns

  • Reuse results in style rules

  • Color from results or tags
  • Readable at a glance

Nested groups

Pack related columns into one cell, for example a personal playbook checklist. Open the group popup, score with stars or yes/no, and show the score back on the journal row.

  • Scores visible on each trade
