A Trading Journal That Actually Imports Your TradeLocker History
If you trade through TradeLocker, you have probably already hit the wall: there is no trade-history or performance CSV export. You can see your positions inside the platform, but there is no download button to get your closed trades out. Every journaling tool that depends on a CSV upload is therefore useless to you, which leaves copying trades into a spreadsheet by hand.
Next Trade solves this a different way. Instead of waiting for an export that does not exist, we connect to the TradeLocker API directly and pull your order history ourselves. You enter your TradeLocker email, password and broker server name, choose Demo or Live, and the journal authenticates the same way the platform does and imports your closed trades.
How the TradeLocker sync works
TradeLocker returns your order history as raw rows of executions rather than finished trades, and the column layout is defined separately by the broker. We read that column definition first and map every field from it instead of guessing positions, so a broker-side change does not silently corrupt your numbers. Then we keep only genuinely filled orders — cancelled and rejected orders are discarded because they are not executions — and pair the remaining entry and exit legs together first-in-first-out into round-trip trades. Partial fills are handled properly: if you scaled out of a position across several exits, each portion is matched against the correct entry lot. Anything still open is reported as an open position rather than being invented as a closed trade.
Real forex P&L, not price ticks
We look up each instrument’s actual contract size from your broker (a standard FX lot is 100,000 units) and use it to calculate dollar P&L. For USD-quoted pairs like EURUSD and GBPUSD, and USD-base pairs like USDJPY and USDCAD, that produces an exact figure. True cross pairs such as GBPJPY are converted using a rate derived from your own trades and are clearly flagged as approximate — we would rather label an estimate than quietly show you a wrong number.
Every account, kept separate
TradeLocker users routinely hold several accounts under one login. We sync all of them and tag each trade with the account it came from, so identical mirrored fills across accounts stay distinct instead of collapsing into one row.
Entry time, not exit time
Each trade is stamped with the time you opened it. If you want to know whether your London-open setups beat your afternoon ones, the time-of-day analysis has to bucket on entry — so that is what it does.
Re-sync without duplicates
Syncing again only imports what is new. Trades are matched on account, symbol, side, prices, size and date, so pressing sync twice does not double your history.
What you get once the trades are in
Imported trades feed the rest of the journal automatically: an equity curve from your real starting balance, a P&L calendar you can click into any day of, win rate, average R and expectancy, and breakdowns by symbol, by account and by session. You can define your strategies with their own rules and tick which rules you actually followed on each trade, then see your win rate split by rule adherence. You can also label the entry model and exit model behind each trade and compare which variation of a strategy genuinely produces the best risk-reward — useful when the same idea is executed several different ways.
