Get the Google Sheets trading journal

Enter your email — we'll send the template, and you can open it in Google Sheets in one click.

No spam. Just the template — free.

If you live in Google Sheets, your trading journal should too: nothing to install, automatic cloud backup, and access from your laptop or your phone at the desk or on the move.

This template drops straight into Google Sheets and calculates everything for you — the same professional analytics you'd expect from paid software, running in a tab you already have open.

Open it in Google Sheets in 30 seconds

We email you the file. Open it with Google Sheets (File → Open, or just drag it into Drive), and it's ready — formulas, charts and the P&L calendar all intact. No conversion headaches, because it's built on standard functions Sheets fully supports.

Journal from any device

Because it lives in your Google Drive, your journal syncs everywhere automatically. Log a trade on your phone right after you close it, and the dashboard on your laptop is already updated. No app, no export, no lost entries.

The analytics, done for you

Type each trade into the input columns and Sheets computes your risk, P&L, R-multiple and running balance, then rolls them up into win rate, profit factor, expectancy and average R — with a live equity curve and a monthly P&L heatmap you can read at a glance.
