Trading Insights Journaling Metrics

Master Your Psychology & Edge

Deep dives into trading metrics, journal strategies, and how to build a consistent profit factor.

Edge library for serious traders

The Tradevia blog is written for active traders who care about risk math, habit formation, and execution quality. Start with the journaling fundamentals in How to Start a Trading Journal and the workflow walkthrough for tick products in How to Journal Futures Trades. Both posts pair with the in-app workflows you’ll see under Futures Trading Journal.

We emphasize edge measurement over hype. Use the Profit Factor Blueprint, Expectancy vs Profit Factor, and Max Drawdown guide to tighten risk. Pair them with the Analytics Dashboard tour so you know how to read the radar charts, heatmaps, and distribution curves inside the product.

If you’re deciding which journal or tooling to use, our comparison pieces cut through pricing tables and marketing fluff. Start with Best Futures Trading Journals for the macro view, then see focused head-to-heads like Tradevia vs Edgewonk or Tradevia vs Tradervue to match your use case. Every review is based on how well a tool supports weekly review, not affiliate payouts.

Bookmark this page for new playbook-style articles on psychology, execution checklists, and automation tips. We keep everything static and fast for SEO and readability-no gating, no scripts required to discover the content.
