Traders of Stocks, Options, Forex, CFD's, Futures and more, could you use a Trade Tracker?
The date is entered as 'day' / 'month'/ and then year. The spreadsheet will adjust the dates automatically to to work out the number of days in the trade. For day traders, enter in the same date for entry and exit. The quantity and price are pretty straight forward. From there your Gross Profit (Loss) is automatically calculated for you.
Commissions can be entered in as a percentage rate under 'Comm. Rate%' or as a dollar figure under 'Total Comm'. If you are trading on margin, ask your broker the interest rate you are being charged. As for CFD's, when going short you are actually paid interest, and in this case, it would be entered as a minus, for example -4.00. After entering your commission and interest charges, a total is calculated which in turn calculates a Net Profit (Loss). There is also a ROI% calculated for you which takes the profit/loss over the period you were in the trade and annualises it for you.
Finally, in the last column, you will see your capital or equity as a running total. After entering in your initial capital in the top box, it will calculate your resulting capital after each trade. If you enter in a trade, it is suggested you always put in the current date in the exit date column, followed by the closing price. This ensures your equity column is kept up to date. On the page titled 'TT Equity Curve' you will see your equity over time as a graph, such as the example above.

The Government Doesn’t Want You to Read This Article About the Financial Crisis
December 2, 2008
Editor’s Note: This article has been excerpted from a free issue of Robert Prechter’s monthly market letter, The Elliott Wave Theorist.
The full 10-page market letter, Be One of the Few The Government Hasn’t Fooled, can be downloaded free from Elliott Wave International.
By Robert Prechter, CMT
“Who Will Benefit From The Housing Act?”
This question is an actual headline from a national daily paper. The real answer is: mortgage lending corporations, developers, real estate agents, speculators and politicians. The government is also pledging tax money to providers of “financial counseling” and grants for speculators who want to “buy and renovate foreclosed housing”; in other words, it will hand tax money to charlatans and unfunded wheeler-dealers. But a far better headline would have been, “Whom Will the Housing Act Hurt?” The answer to that question is: (1) prudent people, i.e. savers, earners, renters and people who have waited to buy a house at a reasonable price; and (2) innocent people, i.e. taxpayers.

The information contained here on this web site, in any email or on any video does not contain specific recommendations to buy or sell at particular prices or times, nor should any of the examples presented be deemed as such. There is a risk of loss in trading futures and futures options, stocks and stocks options, forex, CFD's and any other financial product and you should carefully consider your financial position before making any trades. The reference to statistical probabilities does not pertain to profitability, but rather to the direction of the market. The size and the duration of the markets move, as well as entry and exit prices ultimately determines success or failure in a trade and is in no way represented in these statistics. This is not, nor is it intended to be, a complete study of technical analysis and should not be deemed as such.
