Session imprint: one trading day drawn step by step
The session imprint draws a single trading day as a step function of cumulative realized P&L — one step per exit — with a point per trade, and a review column listing those trades in the order the account lived them.

What it draws
Realized P&L only changes at an exit, so the curve is a step function and not a spline: a smooth line between two exits would describe a path the account never took. The trace starts at zero on the left edge, steps once per closed trade, and runs flat to the right edge.
Each trade is a point placed at the moment it counted — its exit time when closed, its entry time while still open. The legend states the coding in full: a filled point is a gain, a hollow point a loss, a ring marks a trade that carries a note or a screenshot, and a dotted point is a trade still open. An open trade sits on the current step and advances nothing, because it has no realized P&L to add.
The window spans the day's first and last instant plus ten minutes on each side, with a one-hour floor so a day holding a single trade does not become a twenty-minute frame with everything in the middle.
The review column
| Setting | Default | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Net realized | Cumulative P&L of the day | The value the step curve ends on |
| Best / Worst | Shown when at least one trade closed | The single best and single worst realized trade of the day |
| Trade list | Order of realization | Time, symbol, side and size; clicking a row opens that trade's details |
| Reviewed count | "{n} of {total} carry a note or a screenshot" | How much of the day you have actually reviewed |
| Note of the day | End-of-day review, else Lessons, else Pre-market plan | An excerpt of the daily note, with a button that opens Daily Notes |
How to use it
- Use the ‹ and › arrows in the header to step between trading days. Known days come from the months already read; a neighbouring month is probed on demand, up to twelve months, after which the arrow disables rather than searching the whole history.
- Click a point on the drawing or a row in the list to open the trade — the two are the same set, in the same order.
- Rings are the review markers, not the biggest trades: they show which trades already carry a note or a screenshot, so the count underneath tells you what is left to review.
- The day key is the exit day, the same one the calendar uses, so the imprint and the calendar always agree on which day a trade belongs to.
Limits and pitfalls
- Nothing here is inferred: no floating P&L, no interpolation between trades, and no "rules followed" score that nothing measured.
- A day the account did not trade is not a blank page you can leaf through — it simply is not a stop in the navigation.
- While a day is loading, no figure from the previous day is shown under the new date; the panel stays in its loading state instead.
- The trace animates once per day change and is disabled entirely when the system asks for reduced motion.

Frequently asked questions
- Why is the line made of steps instead of a curve?
- Because realized P&L only moves when a trade closes. A smoothed line would draw values between two exits that the account never held.
- What does a ring around a point mean?
- That trade carries a note or a screenshot. It marks a reviewed trade, not a large one.
- Why can't I move to yesterday?
- Navigation only stops on days that contain trades. If no trade closed yesterday, the arrow moves to the previous day that did — or disables once twelve neighbouring months have been probed without finding one.
