What's New
Multiple Dashboard Templates
Create up to four different dashboard layouts, each with its own widget configuration. Switch between templates instantly to view different aspects of your trading performance.
How It Works:
- Create Your Templates - Build up to 4 unique dashboard layouts
- Name Each Template - Label them however makes sense ("Daily Trading," "Performance Review," "Account Overview," etc.)
- Set Your Primary - Choose which dashboard loads by default
- Switch Anytime - Click between templates to change your view instantly
Each template saves its own widget arrangement, so you can design one dashboard for pre-market prep, another for end-of-day review, and a third for weekly performance analysis. Your layouts persist across sessions.
Drag-and-Drop Widget Arrangement
Organize your dashboard exactly how you want it. Grab any widget and drag it to a new position. The grid layout automatically adjusts, and your arrangement saves immediately.
No fixed layouts. No predetermined sections. You control where everything goes. Put your cumulative P&L chart front and center, or push it to the side. Move your top playbooks widget above your recent trades, or below your calendar. It's your dashboard.
Resizable Widgets in Grid Layout
Not all widgets need the same amount of space. Resize widgets by dragging their edges to make them larger or smaller within the responsive grid.
Make your P&L chart take up half the dashboard if you want detailed visibility, or shrink it down if you just need a quick glance. Expand your trade writeups widget to see more entries, or compress your recent trades list to save space. The grid maintains clean alignment while giving you complete control over widget sizing.
Add and Remove Widgets
Build your dashboard from a library of available widgets. Add the components you use, remove the ones you don't.
Available Dashboard Widgets:
- Cumulative P&L Chart - Track profit and loss over time with interactive charts
- Top Performing Playbooks - See your best setups at a glance
- Top Performing Strategies - Monitor strategy win rates and profitability
- Quick Add Trades Button - Instant access to manual trade entry
- Calendar View - Current month performance with daily P&L
- Report Cards - Recent daily, weekly, and monthly reports
- Chartbooks - Quick access to your annotated charts
- Trade Writeups - Latest post-trade analysis entries
- Recent Trades - Your most recent trading activity
Click "Add Widget" to open the widget library, select what you want to add, and it appears on your dashboard. Click the X icon on any widget to remove it. Changes save automatically.
Account Type Filtering
View data from prop accounts only, retail accounts only, or both combined. The account type filter applies across all dashboard widgets, ensuring you see relevant data for your current focus.
Trading prop accounts today? Set the filter to "Prop Accounts" and all widgets display prop-specific data. Need to review your retail performance? Switch to "Retail Accounts" and everything updates. Want the complete picture? Select "Both" to see combined metrics.
The filter setting saves per template, so your "Prop Trading" dashboard can default to prop accounts, while your "Retail Review" dashboard defaults to retail accounts.
Automatic Dashboard Updates
Dashboard widgets stay current with your journal data. When you add a trade, your cumulative P&L chart reflects the change immediately. Complete a report card, and it appears in your report cards widget without refreshing the page.
The dashboard serves as your central hub for tracking performance, always displaying your latest journal entries and metrics across all selected accounts.
Why This Matters for Your Trade Journal
Personalized to Your Workflow
Every trader reviews performance differently. Some focus on playbook statistics, others track daily P&L trends, and many need quick access to specific tools. A one-size-fits-all dashboard doesn't work.
With configurable templates, you build dashboards that match your actual workflow. Create a pre-market dashboard with your trade plan and calendar. Build a post-market dashboard focused on writeups and performance analysis. Design a weekly review dashboard with charts and statistics. Use what works for you.
Faster Access to What Matters
The dashboard puts your most-used features and important metrics one click away. Instead of navigating through multiple pages to check your top playbooks, view recent trades, and see your P&L chart, everything displays on a single screen.
Reduce clicks. Reduce navigation. Get the information you need immediately when you open My Prop Journal.
Flexible as Your Trading Evolves
Your trading focus changes. When you're testing new strategies, you might prioritize the top strategies widget. During evaluation challenges, the account metrics and daily P&L become critical. As you develop specific playbooks, you'll want those statistics visible.
The configurable dashboard adapts. Rearrange widgets as priorities shift. Create new templates when your workflow changes. Remove widgets you're not using. The system grows with you.
Clean, Organized Interface
Multiple templates prevent dashboard clutter. Instead of cramming every possible widget into one view, you distribute widgets across focused templates.
Keep each dashboard clean and purpose-driven. Your daily trading dashboard shows only what you need for active trading. Your analysis dashboard focuses on performance metrics and reports. Your planning dashboard centers on upcoming trades and strategies.
