Tour the dashboard.

Once you're in, the top nav has five tabs (six if you're a coach). Each one is its own focused view. No sub-menus, no hunting.

Log your first trade.

From any screen, click the green + Log a Trade button (top-right of Dashboard or the Trades tab). It drops you into the New Trade form.

Quick button
+ Log a Trade

Fill in the fields. You don't pick a strategy. Every trade is automatically stamped The Algo Blueprint Model.

  • Date and Symbol (e.g. ES, NQ, BTCUSD, AAPL)
  • Direction (Long / Short) and Quantity
  • Entry and Exit Price
  • Risk in dollars (optional, unlocks your R:R multiple)
  • Tags, Notes, and up to 3 chart screenshots across different timeframes
PnL, R:R, and Result (Win / Loss / Break-even) auto-calculate as you type. Hit Save Trade and you'll land on the Trades tab with the new row.
For screenshots, paste a public URL from TradingView, imgur, or a Google Drive file set to "Anyone with the link".

Do your daily journal.

The Journal tab has three cards: Morning, After Session, and Evening. Each is a short set of prompts that takes 2 to 3 minutes.

Streak strip (7 days)
SUN 12 ○○○ MON 13 ○○○ TUE 14 ●○○ WED 15 ●●○ THU 16 ●●● FRI 17 ●●● SAT 18 ●○○

Click Start on any card to open the prompts. Answer. Click Save entry. The card turns green and the dot under that day fills in. Your coach can see all three.

Click any day on the streak strip to see that day's cards. Use ← prev / next → (above the strip) to navigate week-by-week.
Prompts are designed for trading psychology. Gratitude in the morning, model adherence after the session, reflection at night. Filling all three every day is where the real growth happens.

Get feedback from your coach.

Every trade you log is a conversation waiting to happen. Click any row in the Trades table – a side drawer slides in with the full trade detail.

Trade row
18 Apr ES Long +$420.00 WIN 💬 2

Scroll to the Coach Feedback section at the bottom. Leave your reflection; your coach will reply here with specific, trade-by-trade feedback. Coach replies carry a green COACH badge.

The 💬 icon in the Trades table shows how many feedback messages a trade already has. No more opening every trade to find your coach's latest note.

Read your edge.

After logging a handful of trades, the Analytics tab starts telling you something real.

  • Expectancy per trade. Average dollars per trade. If this is positive, you have an edge.
  • Profit factor. Gross wins divided by gross losses. Above 1.5 is healthy.
  • Best / worst day. Biggest up and down days.
  • Daily PnL bars. See which days were green, which were red.
  • Win rate by day of week. Spot the days when you're sharpest (or not).
Don't obsess over win rate alone. A 40% win rate with 3R winners crushes an 80% win rate with half-R winners. Expectancy and profit factor are the numbers that actually matter.

Light or dark, your call.

The sun/moon icon in the top-right of the nav flips the whole app between light and dark themes. Your choice is saved to your browser, so it sticks across sessions.

Trade into the evening a lot? Dark theme is easier on the eyes after market close.
