Portfolio Transactions
The Portfolio Transactions tab is the unyielding financial backbone and master ledger of your entire trading operation. While the Trade Journal analyzes your psychological edge and strategy execution, the Transactions ledger focuses purely on hard capital flows.
It maps the exact movement of every asset passing in and out of your account, ensuring your global equity curves and real-time balance calculations remain mathematically flawless for performance auditing, accounting, and balance tracking.
Automated Reconciliation: Zero manual entry required for your daily setups! Every time you log an execution inside the Trade Journal, our system instantly builds the corresponding ledger lines (Spot or Futures) in the background to keep your books perfectly balanced.
Reading the Transactions Ledger
The main table provides an immutable, chronological record of every physical asset movement within your workspace. Below is the functional breakdown of how the ledger processes your financial data to maintain an undisputable audit trail:
| Column | Functional Breakdown |
|---|---|
Date & time | The chronological audit marker of the transaction. For automated setups, this captures the exact second your order filled on the exchange match-engine. For manual adjustments, it preserves your custom-timed entry. |
Type | Classifies the exact financial nature of the capital flow. This field segregates live trading activities (Spot, Futures Long, Futures Short) from administrative wallet actions (Deposit, Withdrawal, Convert). |
Description | Provides vital operational context for the event. For active market orders, it maps directly to the asset's lifecycle (Opened, Added, Reduced, or Closed). For manual ledger adjustments, it stores your private bookkeeping notes. |
Trade | A one-click hyperlink bridge straight to the associated trade ticket. This allows you to instantly teleport from a raw ledger row to a deep-dive screen detailing execution speed, risk metrics, and strategy tags. |
Trade Opened | The precise lifecycle origin of the position. This specific parameter is critical for reconciling scaling positions and isolating compounding entries from separate setups on the exact same asset pair. |
Position (Asset & Amount) | Tracks your primary asset exposure and volume size. Clear visual states dictate the directional flow: Blue (+) marks incoming capital volume accumulated, while Gray (-) highlights capital surrendered to the market. |
Settlement (Asset & Amount) | The quote currency or collateral used to clear and finalize the transaction (e.g., USDT or USD). This acts as the mathematical denominator to verify that cross-currency swaps are accounted for at true fair market value. |
Fees (Asset & Amount) | The exact friction overhead costs (exchange taker/maker fees, network gas, or funding rates) paid to clear the position. Tracking this with pinpoint accuracy is what keeps your net performance statistics grounded in absolute reality. |
P&L | The final realized equity impact of a closed trade or partial scale-out. This value feeds directly into your account's historical balance curves to visualize your true compounding velocity. |
Transaction Types
To maintain an accurate financial model, the application categorizes balance changes into two primary transaction types:
Trading Transactions (Automated)
These transactions are automatically generated and added to the ledger whenever a user inputs a trade within the application. They handle asset accumulation, position tracking, and collateral history.
- Spot Trade: Used when buying or selling the actual underlying asset in the market.
- Futures Long: Used when entering a derivative contract to profit from rising prices using collateral or leverage.
- Futures Short: Used when entering a derivative contract to profit from falling asset prices.
Capital Transactions (Manual)
These are manual transactions that the user must explicitly add within their portfolio if they want to track external capital movements, total equity, and baseline account balances.
- Deposit: Used to log external funds or crypto arriving into the trading ecosystem.
- Withdrawal: Used to log capital leaving the ecosystem (e.g., securing profits to a cold wallet).
- Convert: Represents an inter-currency swap of assets or stablecoins directly inside the wallet without creating an active speculative trade.
Manually Adding Capital Events
Whenever you initiate a bank transfer, clear a payout, or run a wallet conversion, you must log these events manually to keep your historical drawdowns and compounding statistics perfectly synchronized.
To manually configure an entry, click the blue + New transaction button located in the top-right corner of the dashboard.
Select the Transaction Type
Define the specific classification of the non-speculative capital movement you are executing (Deposit, Withdrawal, or Convert).
Enter Date & Time
Input the exact chronological timestamp when the capital finalized clearing. Keeping this perfectly synchronized with your official bank statements or blockchain transaction hashes ensures your historical growth metrics stay structurally sound.
Define the Asset & Amount
Utilize the searchable asset index dropdown to isolate the precise target currency, then type in the exact numerical units transferred.
Add a Description
Draft a concise memo to maintain a clean financial paper trail (e.g., “Q1 Corporate profit payout to treasury checking” or “Automated monthly account capitalization”). Once finalized, click Save to write the item securely into your ledger database.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers based on this page's topic.
Whenever you log an execution in the Trade Journal, the system automatically generates corresponding Spot or Futures ledger lines in the background to keep balance tracking, position sizes, and realized P&L perfectly synchronized.
Trading Transactions (Spot, Futures Long, Futures Short) are system-generated whenever speculative setups are logged, whereas Capital Transactions (Deposit, Withdrawal, Convert) are manually entered to track external wallet and bank flows.
Recording exact friction costs—such as exchange taker/maker fees, gas, or funding rates—ensures that net performance analytics, equity curves, and account drawdowns accurately reflect real net yield after all operational overhead.
