How the One-Tap Trade Journal Works

4 min read·August 25, 2026

After a trade you were shown resolves — hits its target or its stop loss — you might see a small card appear on your Scan screen asking a quick question. This explains exactly what that is and why it's built the way it is.

What actually triggers it

Only real, resolved trades — ones that genuinely hit TP1, TP2, TP3, or the stop loss — trigger this. It won't ask about a setup that never confirmed, and it won't ask about the same trade twice.

What it's actually asking

Two simple questions, one tap each: "Did you take this trade?" — and if yes, "Did you exit where the signal said, or did you deviate?" That's it. No typing required unless you want to add a short note.

Why this exists at all

Your broker's own MT4/MT5 platform already shows you whether a trade won or lost — that's not new information. What it can't tell you is whether you actually followed the plan: entered where the signal said, held the position as planned, or moved your stop out of nerves partway through. That gap — between what the signal said and what you actually did — is what this tracks, and it's genuinely something no broker statement can show you.

Where the answer actually goes

Once you've answered a few of these honestly, a real number appears on your Profile page: Your 7-Day Plan-Adherence Rate — the percentage of trades you took where you actually followed the signal exactly, over the last week. This isn't shown until there's real data behind it — answer fewer than three, and you'll see an honest "not enough data yet" message instead of a made-up number.

Why it's a rolling 7-day number, not a lifetime one

A single bad week shouldn't define your whole track record forever, and a single great week shouldn't either. A rolling window means the number reflects your recent discipline, not a permanent score that one hard day drags down indefinitely.

The honest part

This isn't a performance review, and skipping it isn't tracked against you — "Skipped it" is a completely valid, single-tap answer. The point isn't to make you feel judged about a trade you didn't take; it's to build an honest picture, over time, of how closely your actual trading matches what the signal actually said.
