FAQ

  • What is a trading journal and why do traders need one?

    A trading journal is a tool where traders log their trades, strategies, thoughts, emotions, and results. It goes beyond recording buy/sell actions — it helps traders analyze their behavior, improve consistency, and learn from mistakes.
For crypto traders, a crypto trading journal is especially important because the market is volatile and runs 24/7. By keeping track of each trade, traders can evaluate which strategies perform best, manage risk more effectively, and grow more disciplined over time.

  • Why use an automated trading journal instead of a manual one?

    An automated trading journal eliminates the need to manually enter trades. It imports your trading data automatically — including entry and exit prices, volumes, stop-losses, take-profits, and more — making it both time-efficient and accurate. 3Commas connects to your exchange accounts and bots to automatically track every trade you make. Whether you trade manually or use automated strategies, the system captures your activity in real time. This helps you avoid mistakes, save time, and focus on optimizing your performance.

  • What features does the 3Commas crypto trading journal offer?

    The 3Commas crypto trading journal provides more than just a transaction history. Key features include:

    • Automatic syncing with exchanges and bots
    • Profit/loss and risk analysis across trades and portfolios
    • Custom filters by strategy, asset, or trade type
    • Performance tracking by day, week, or month
    • Integration with 3Commas tools, including bots and SmartTrade

    This makes it a powerful solution for both beginners and experienced traders who want to take a data-driven approach.

  • How do I choose the best trading journal?

    The best trading journal for you depends on your goals and trading style. Here are some things to look for:

    • Automation: Does it import trades from your exchanges?
    • Advanced analytics: Can it break down your results by strategy, time frame, or asset?
    • Crypto-specific features: Does it handle crypto instruments and 24/7 activity?
    • User interface: Is it easy to use on desktop and mobile?
    • Ecosystem integration: Can it connect with your bots or trading platform?

    3Commas offers a robust crypto trading journal that combines automatic trade tracking with in-depth analytics — all within one platform.

  • What’s the difference between a standalone trading journal app and a built-in journal like 3Commas?

    Standalone trading journal apps often require you to manually enter trades or upload CSV files. This can be tedious and error-prone, especially if you trade actively or across multiple platforms. A built-in journal, like the one in 3Commas, is directly connected to your trading activity. It automatically logs every trade — including manual trades, bot activity, and copy trading — and updates your performance metrics in real time. This seamless integration turns your journal into a live dashboard for improving your strategy.
