Custom Fields

Add your own per-trade data — checklists, free-text notes, or color-coded categories — that appear as columns in the trade log and in trade detail.

Custom Fields

Custom fields are extra data points you define yourself and capture per trade. Each field shows up as a column in the trade log and as an editable input on the trade detail view. Manage them in Settings → Custom Fields.

Custom fields are scoped to the active account — each account has its own set.

Field Types

When you add a field, you pick one of three types:

TypeWhat it storesGood for
CheckboxA yes/no flag.Per-rule checklists (e.g. Setup followed, On plan).
TextFree-form text.Notes in your own words (e.g. Why entered).
SelectOne value from a list of color-coded options.Categories from your playbook (e.g. Setup type).

Before you add any fields, the page suggests three example fields covering each type so you can see what works.

Adding a Field

The Add a field section sits at the bottom of the page:

  1. Pick a type by clicking one of the three tiles.
  2. For Select fields, click Add option to define one or more options. Each option has a label and a color picker.
  3. Enter a column name (e.g. Setup followed).
  4. Click Add Field to save. The new field appears in the Your fields list and as a new column in the trade log.

For checkbox and text fields, press Enter in the name input to save quickly.

Editing a Field

Click the pencil icon on a field card to enter edit mode. You can change the column name and — for select fields — rename, recolor, add, or remove options. Click Save to commit; Cancel to discard.

Renaming a field updates the column header in the trade log immediately. Existing trade values are preserved.

Deleting a Field

Click the trash icon, then Confirm in the inline prompt. Deleting a field removes the column and clears any values stored on trades for that field. This cannot be undone.

Reordering Fields

Each field card has a drag handle on the left. Drag to reorder — the new order is reflected in the trade log column order and on the trade detail view.
