NoCopium Trade Journal is a WordPress trading journal for manual logging of stocks, options, and futures — including multi-leg strategies — with realized P&L, notes, and optional process tags you apply yourself.
Built for traders who want their data on their site, not a SaaS journal they do not control.

What The Free Build Does Not Include
- Tastytrade broker CSV import (Pro add-on from nocopium.com)
- P&L analytics by tag across a date range (full plan and mindset tables, win rate by tag)
- Full Analytics page (profit factor, strategy/underlying tables, drawdown, streaks, IVR/VIX buckets)

- Licensing or Freemius (Pro only, sold from nocopium.com)
Upgrade To Pro
NoCopium Trade Journal Pro adds Tastytrade broker CSV import (Transactions export; Order # grouping and open/close matching), a generic CSV fallback, and the Analytics workspace — including P&L by Followed vs Broke Plan and by mindset over the range you choose.
Additional broker-specific importers may be added later if there is enough interest. Keep this free plugin installed — Pro adds features; your trades stay in the same database.
Process Tags (Free To Log, Pro To Analyze Deeply)
- Mindset at open — optional when you open a trade (Notes step). Free dashboard shows how often each mindset appeared on recent tagged opens.
- Followed vs Broke Plan — optional when you close a trade. Free dashboard shows dollar P&L for Followed vs Broke on recent tagged closes, plus a follow-rate percent.
- Tags are empty until you set them; Tastytrade import does not fill them.
- Pro Analytics turns those tags into full-range P&L, win rate, and bar charts — not just the last-20 glance on the dashboard.
Dedicated Trade Journal
- Stores each trade in your WordPress database
- Tracks symbol, asset class, account, direction, entry/exit, fees, P&L, strategy/setup, order reference, and notes
- Optional market context: IVR, VIX, underlying price, buying power, max loss, POP, net delta
- Needs Review status for incomplete rows (excluded from statistics until fixed)
Dashboard and Charts
- Year-to-date KPIs, cumulative equity curve, and monthly gains bars
- Daily P&L calendar with closed trades listed for each day
- Account filter when you use more than one account
- Recent trade activity; plan and mindset tags visible on rows when set
Backup, Export, and Shortcodes
- JSON backup/restore from Settings (destination journal must be empty)
- Trade Journal CSV export (spreadsheet; not the same as backup or Tastytrade import)
