Executed trades on the chart: entry, exit and result from the journal
The « My trades » overlay reads executed trades from the journal and draws them on the chart: a triangle at the entry, a square at the exit, and the P&L. Markers state the result — win, loss or flat — never a reason for the exit.

Where to find it
- Where
- Chart → Indicators panel → group « Overlays » → « My trades »
- Default
- Off. No parameters; the overlay has no settings
- Scope
- Instrument shown on the chart and the connected account (or the last chosen account scope), up to 500 trades
What it does
When enabled, the chart loads the journal entries for the account scope and keeps those whose symbol root matches the chart's instrument (« MNQU6.CME » on the chart matches « MNQU6 » in the journal). Each trade becomes a marker with an entry time and price, and, when both an exit time and an exit price exist, an exit and a P&L. A position that is still open is drawn with its entry only; no exit is invented.
The result is classified from the P&L alone: win when P&L > 1, loss when P&L < −1, flat otherwise. The ±1 threshold exists because a round trip closed at the entry price rarely returns exactly zero once commissions are counted; a −0.40 result is a commission, not a losing trade.
The journal does not store the stop or the target that were in place, so nothing distinguishes a stop exit from a manual exit at the same price. Writing « SL » or « TP » on a marker would be an invention, and on the screen where you review your session it would teach the opposite of what happened. Markers therefore carry the result only.
Settings
| Setting | Default | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| My trades | Off | Master switch; when off the chart never queries the journal |
| Refresh | 60 s (code) | The journal changes on position close, so the overlay reloads once a minute and immediately when the instrument changes |
| Maximum trades | 500 (code) | Most recent trades returned by the journal for the scope |
| Flat threshold | |P&L| < 1 (code) | Below this the result is classified flat |
| Account scope | Connected account, else last chosen (code) | Same rule as the journal and the welcome page; trades of another account are never painted |
How to use it
Turn the overlay on when reviewing a session on the same instrument: you see where you entered relative to the footprint cells, imbalances and profiles, and where you left. A trade that spans the visible window — entered before, exited after — is kept, because filtering on its bounds alone would hide it exactly when you zoom on it.
Combine it with the journal's daily notes for the reasoning; the chart shows the facts recorded by the fills.
Limits and pitfalls
- Markers appear at most one minute after a close, or immediately on an instrument change.
- If the journal is momentarily unreadable the overlay stays silently empty; it is an annotation layer, not a price source.
- A trade without a parsable entry time is not placed anywhere rather than being placed in 1970.
- Trades of other accounts are excluded by the query, following the account-scope rule that fixed a case where 732 trades of a former funded account appeared under a new one.

Frequently asked questions
- Why does a marker never say « stop » or « target »?
- Because the journal does not record the stop or target orders that were active. Only the P&L is known, so the marker states win, loss or flat; a reason for the exit would be inferred, not measured.
- My trades do not show although I traded this contract.
- Check that the journal symbol shares the same root as the chart symbol (the part before the first dot), that the trade belongs to the connected account scope, and that the overlay is on. The overlay loads nothing while it is off.
