TradeDesk — Risk Calculator & Trading Journal

Position sizing, R:R, and a trading journal — right inside TradingView. Local-first and private.

TradeDesk is a local-first trading companion built directly into TradingView. It brings risk planning, position sizing, pre-trade discipline, market-session tracking, trade journaling, screenshots, and performance analytics into one focused workspace beside your chart. The core workflow is completely free — no account, no credit card. An optional Pro upgrade (€8.99/month or €79/year) unlocks unlimited journaling, the advanced analytics layer, the economic calendar, and deeper customization. No separate calculator website. No spreadsheet. No account required. Plan the trade, check your discipline, record the result, and review your performance without leaving TradingView. INSTRUMENT-AWARE RISK CALCULATOR (Free) TradeDesk includes a detailed position-size and risk calculator for: • Stocks • Forex • Crypto Spot • Crypto Futures • Futures • Indices • Commodities Choose a long or short position, enter your account balance, and calculate risk using: • Percentage of account balance • Fixed cash risk • Percentage of equity • Maximum acceptable loss Add your entry price, stop loss, and optional take-profit target. TradeDesk then estimates: • Recommended position size • Total position value • Required capital or margin • Maximum loss, including applicable costs • Potential profit • Reward-to-risk ratio • Break-even price • Account risk percentage • Remaining account balance after opening the position Calculations can include instrument-specific details such as: • Leverage and margin requirements • Contract size and tick value • Pip size and pip value • Commission and spread • Maker and taker fees • Slippage and swap costs TradeDesk also warns you about common planning mistakes, including: • Stop loss placed on the wrong side of entry • Invalid or incomplete prices • Excessive account risk • Poor reward-to-risk • Position size below the instrument minimum • Unsupported short positions in spot markets • Insufficient capital or margin Use the chart controls to pull the visible TradingView price into the entry, stop-loss, or take-profit fields where supported. Completed calculations can be saved to Calculator History or sent directly to the Journal as pre-filled trade entries. SEARCHABLE INSTRUMENT LIBRARY (Free) TradeDesk includes searchable built-in instruments for Forex, crypto, futures, indices, and commodities. Search using either the symbol or the full instrument name. Instrument metadata helps TradeDesk apply the correct pip, tick, contract, margin, and market-specific calculation settings. PRE-TRADE CHECKLIST (Free, with Pro templates) The Checklist helps you slow down before entering a trade and verify that the setup follows your plan. Default checks include: • The setup matches the trading strategy • Risk is within the maximum allowed • A stop-loss level has been selected • The potential reward justifies the risk • The trade is not driven by FOMO, revenge, or impulsive price chasing Every checklist item is editable — add, rename, reorder, or remove items to match your own trading process. This is free. When a trade is added to the Journal, TradeDesk saves a snapshot of the checklist and its completion state, so you can compare disciplined trades with trades where the process was skipped. Pro adds saved, named checklist templates you can switch between and reload in one click. TRADING JOURNAL (Free up to 100 trades, unlimited with Pro) Record planned, open, and completed trades directly inside TradingView. Each journal entry can include: • Symbol and instrument category • Long or short direction • Position size • Trade date and time • Entry, stop-loss, take-profit, and exit prices • Win, loss, or breakeven result • P&L percentage and cash amount • Setup and strategy tags • Trading emotions • Checklist results • Before, during, and after screenshots • Detailed notes about the setup, execution, mistakes, and lessons Built-in tags classify trades as Breakout, Reversal, Trend, Range, Scalp, Swing, and more — free. Pro adds your own custom tags and emotions on top of the built-ins. Emotion tracking includes options such as Confidence, Fear, FOMO, Greed, Revenge, and Discipline. The free journal holds up to 100 trades with unlimited screenshots. Pro removes the cap entirely. Journal entries can be: • Added manually • Pre-filled from the Calculator • Created through the right-click menu • Edited or deleted • Searched by symbol, tag, or notes • Filtered by result and setup (free) — or by direction, instrument, emotion, and date range, with saved reloadable views (Pro) • Exported to CSV • Backed up and restored using JSON CLEAN CHART SCREENSHOTS (Free) Capture the visible TradingView chart and attach it to your journal entry. Before taking the screenshot, TradeDesk temporarily hides its own interface so the saved image contains a clean chart without the extension panel covering it. Screenshots are optimized and stored locally to reduce browser storage usage. PERFORMANCE STATISTICS (Free core, Pro breakdowns) The Stats tab analyzes your journal locally and helps you understand both results and trading behavior. Free: • Total closed trades • Wins, losses, and breakeven trades • Win rate • Total P&L percentage • Profit factor • Average realized R-multiple • Equity curve Pro unlocks the full analytics layer: • Performance by market session and time of day • Performance by day of week • Performance by setup and tags • Performance by symbol • Performance by emotion • Calendar-style daily P&L heatmap • Current win or loss streak • Checklist-completed versus checklist-skipped performance • Emotion-to-dollar analysis when P&L amounts are available Average R-multiple is calculated from entry, stop, and exit prices, helping you evaluate execution based on planned risk rather than only the amount of money gained or lost. Filter your statistics by last 7 days, last 30 days, last 90 days, or all recorded history — free on every plan. ECONOMIC CALENDAR (Pro) A ForexFactory-powered high-impact news calendar, right beside your chart: • Upcoming events with forecast vs. previous values • Filter by currency, impact level, or your active chart symbol • Times shown in your own timezone • Configurable browser notifications before a matching high- or medium-impact event (off by default) • A soft warning in the calculator when you're about to log a trade right before a major event for that symbol — so you never plan into a spike CALCULATOR HISTORY (Free, with Pro trade templates) Save trading plans before taking a position and reopen them later — free, unlimited. Each saved calculation can include: • Market and instrument • Direction • Entry, stop, and target prices • Position size • Risk amount • Expected profit • Reward-to-risk ratio • Account currency • Original calculator settings Pro adds one-click Trade Templates: save any calculation as a named, reusable template instead of a one-off history entry. GLOBAL MARKET TIMES (Free) The Times tab helps you track major financial centers, market sessions, and overlap periods. It includes: • Your local time • World clocks for major trading cities • Important market-session times • Open and closed market indicators • Approaching-open and approaching-close alerts • Configurable timezone • 12-hour or 24-hour clock format Track sessions such as London, New York, Tokyo, Sydney, and other important financial centers. This is especially useful for Forex and Futures traders who plan around session openings, closings, and high-liquidity overlap periods. CUSTOMIZABLE DEFAULTS (Free, with Pro custom presets) Configure TradeDesk once and use your preferred values for future calculations. Settings include: • Default account size • Account currency • Default risk method and value • Built-in risk presets • Maximum allowed risk percentage • Preferred minimum reward-to-risk ratio • Default maker and taker fees • Default commission • Default leverage Pro adds your own custom risk presets alongside the built-ins. DARK THEME, BUILT FOR TRADINGVIEW TradeDesk uses Shadow DOM isolation to keep its interface separate from TradingView. This helps prevent TradingView styles from breaking the extension and prevents TradeDesk from changing the chart website's own design. The interface is dark by design, tuned to match TradingView's own chrome. LOCAL-FIRST DATA AND BACKUPS (Free) Your trading data is stored in the extension's local browser database. This includes: • Journal entries • Calculator history • Screenshots • Checklist results • Settings and preferences You can export your data at any time: • CSV for spreadsheet analysis • JSON for a complete backup and restore workflow, including screenshots You can also import previous CSV or JSON files and move your records between compatible browsers, devices, or extension versions. A clear-data tool is available in Settings and requires confirmation before permanently removing local records. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT TradeDesk does not require an account for its local trading tools. Your private trading information is not included in analytics. TradeDesk does not send your: • Trades • Symbols • Prices • P&L • Notes • Screenshots • Checklist details Export and backup files are created locally inside your browser. TradeDesk may collect limited anonymous technical or product-interaction events, such as whether onboarding was completed or a feature was opened. Where consent is required, the extension respects your privacy choice. Activating a Pro license only sends your license key and an anonymous per-install ID to our license server to confirm your plan — never any trade data. TRADEDESK PRO Pro is a subscription (€8.99/month, or €79/year — about €6.58/month, saving ~27%) that lifts the 100-trade journal cap and unlocks: • The full advanced analytics layer • The economic calendar, with alerts and the event-proximity warning • Custom tags, emotions, and checklist templates • Custom risk presets and one-click trade templates • Advanced journal filters and saved views • Priority support Every future Pro feature is included automatically while your subscription is active.
