Why are my Entries / Exits (Transactions) not showing at the bottom of my trade?

First, let's understand what a trade is.

"Entries and Exits" aka "buy or sells" aka "shorts and covers" aka "Transactions" create a trade.

So if you deleted the entries after a trade was created then a trade will still exist but not contain any transactions.

This is how brokers export data. They do not export a complete trade, they only export buys and sells. So we need to create trades out of the data. The wizard will batch transactions based on time and ticker. Then add the buys until the sells bring it back to a closed position. And when we delete the underlying transactions to a trade you will now have a trade with the stats still calculated but without transactions. Typically you NEVER want to DELETE transactions, especially AFTER they are MATCHED with a TRADE.

After a trade is created transactions have nothing to do with P&L, once the trade is created that is separately calculated for that trade. The transactions are now dead data until you save a trade again then the stats will be recalculated for the new info.

These are examples of transactions that make up a trade:

If you deleted the transactions on the import entries page (https://www.tradejournal.co/import/entry/) and the trade has not yet been re-saved then that's where the issue is probably coming from.

To re-save a trade just got to the bottom of a trade, say this one. And click save: https://www.tradejournal.co/trade/update/247379/

Usually, this will never be the case because the import wizard does everything. But the transactions must have been deleted after the wizard was used which basically creates hollow trades.

We'll be adding an additional warning or disabling deleting transactions after they have been matched to a trade. This will mitigate this issue from arising.

How do I create a short trade on TradeJournal.co?

Creating a short trade on TradeJournal.co is very straightforward and is similar to any long trade with two simple differences. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Navigate to the trade addition page at https://www.tradejournal.co/trade/add/

2. Look for the "Trade Type" field. Here, you can select the type of trade you're making. For a short trade, make sure to select "Short."

   • 

3. When adding transactions to your short trade, start with a transaction where the "side" column is set to "Exit." This is a crucial step as you're essentially exiting a position before you enter it – (exit) selling to open and (entry) buying to close.

   • You can view this short trade in this example here.

4. Please remember that it's important to select "Short" in the trade type field and start your transactions with "Exit" in the side column. If these are not done correctly, you might see an error message, but don't worry, simply correct the entries according to these instructions.
