FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I import options trades?
Yes, via the Standard CSV format import. Fill in the full option symbol and dedicated fields (strikePrice, expirationDate, optionType, premium).
How do I delete a trade?
Open the trade from the calendar, daily view, or trades table, then click the trash icon and confirm. The deletion is first logical (soft delete): the trade is hidden but recoverable.
To permanently delete, go to Settings → Accounts
Can I use TradeJourney offline?
Yes, TradeJourney works entirely locally. No Internet connection is required after installation. A hosted version (cloud service) might be offered in the future.
Is my data secure?
Yes, all your data stays on your machine: in a local PostgreSQL database (trades, accounts, tags, notes) and in the upload/ folder (screenshots, plugins). Sending to an external storage server is optional and disabled by default.
Can I have multiple databases?
Yes, you can create as many databases as needed — useful for separating different periods, strategies, or accounts.
How do I access TradeJourney from my phone?
Make sure your phone is on the same Wi-Fi network, then access http://[your-machine-IP]:3000. Find your IP with ip addr or ifconfig.
How do I back up my data?
The easiest way is to use the built-in function: Settings → Backup, which exports your database into a .zip archive that can be restored at any time.
See the Backup and restore page for more details.
