Review System
Journalit's review system gives you a place to review the individual trades you made, then step back and compare how you traded across the week. Start with the Daily Report Card. Use the weekly review to spot patterns that are hard to see when each day is viewed alone.
Start here
If you only build two review habits, make them Trade Review in your DRC and Daily Reviews by Weekday in your weekly review. One deals with the decisions you made. The other shows whether those decisions repeat on particular days.
Trade Review in the Daily Report Card
Trade Review is a DRC widget for reviewing trades in the context of the trading day. It lists reviewed and pending trades, then opens the structured prompts for the trade you want to analyse.
Review the decision, not just the outcome
Use prompts to examine execution, risk, discipline, and the context behind each trade.
Keep the day nearby
The DRC keeps goals, session notes, events, and the rest of the day's review context close while you assess a trade.
Track what still needs attention
Reviewed and pending states make it clear which trades have actually been analysed.
Readable trade-note record
Answers are stored as markdown in the relevant trade note, while the reviewed state remains structured for filtering and navigation.
Add Trade Review to a DRC
Open the DRC layout
Open Layout Builder and select the Daily Report Card layout you use.
Add the Trade Review widget
Add Trade Review from the content widgets. It is available for DRC layouts.
Review trades as part of the day
Open the DRC after the session, select a trade, answer the prompts, and mark the trade reviewed when the review is complete.
Tailor prompts to the trade outcome
Edit the Trade Review widget in Layout Builder to configure separate question sets for winning, losing, breakeven, and open trades. The questions and answer placeholders are part of the DRC template, so the same review structure is available whenever that template is used.
Questions can use text answers or a list of choices. A choice can reveal one or more follow-up questions, which lets the review branch into the evidence that matters for the selected answer. Follow-up answers remain attached to the trade and reappear if their branch becomes visible again.
Weekly review by weekday
Daily Reviews by Weekday brings the relevant parts of each DRC into one weekly review, grouped by weekday. It is the fastest way to compare Monday with Tuesday, or see whether a problem keeps returning at the same point in the week.
Compare like with like
Read the selected DRC sections by weekday instead of opening five separate notes and trying to remember what changed.
Find recurring behaviour
Use it to catch patterns such as poor Monday preparation, late-week overtrading, or consistently stronger sessions.
Open the source DRC
Each weekday entry links back to the original Daily Report Card when you need the full context.
Choose the evidence
Configure which DRC sections appear, then use cards or accordions to match the amount of detail you want visible.
Build a useful weekly view
A good weekday review does not need every DRC section copied into it. Start with what helps you compare decisions: Trade Review, goals, session mistakes, psychology notes, or your market plan. Add more only when you miss it during a real weekly review.
Weekly layouts can also include Demon Tracker. It aggregates recurring mistakes for the week, applies the configured stop-trading threshold, and summarises unique mistakes, total occurrences, and critical patterns.
Daily Report Cards
The DRC is the working note for one trading day. It can hold preparation before the session, trade and performance context during the day, and reflection after it.
Preparation
Use goals, checklists, market context, key levels, and previous-day context before you start trading.
Trades
See the day's trades, performance data, and account context without leaving the review.
Review
Use Trade Review, session mistakes, missed trades, prompts, grading, and tomorrow's goals to close the day properly.
Keep the DRC practical
A DRC is useful when you return to it. Keep the preparation and review blocks short enough to complete on a normal trading day.
Other review horizons
Weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly notes use the same layout system. They are there for different questions, not because every review needs the same amount of ceremony.
Weekly
Compare sessions, recurring behaviour, goals, and day-of-week patterns.
Monthly
Review strategy performance and market conditions over a longer sample.
Quarterly and yearly
Use larger reviews for changes to your process, strategy, or risk approach that need more than a few days of evidence.
Tag Performance across reviews
Add Tag Performance to DRC, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly layouts when custom trade tags represent behaviour, market context, or execution themes that you want to compare.
Chart view
Rank tags visually and focus on the strongest or weakest groups in the selected review period.
Detailed table
Compare trade count, P&L, win rate, and profit factor for each tag.
Flexible sorting
Sort the breakdown by P&L, win rate, or trade count and limit the result to the groups that deserve attention.
Multi-tag attribution
A trade contributes its full result to each attached tag, while untagged trades stay outside the widget.
The Performance Calendar also marks reviewed DRC days and reviewed weeks, so completed review periods remain visible from the broader analytics workspace.
Shape the workflow in Layout Builder
Layout Builder controls the sections and widgets in DRCs and longer reviews. It is where you add Trade Review, Daily Reviews by Weekday, charts, statistics, checklists, prompts, and other review blocks.
