A Public Trading Journal — Built on The Analyzer
Every trade, logged and dated — before the outcome is known.
No hindsight, no cherry-picking. This is a working journal run on The Analyzer, our own trend and stage-based approach to the ASX and US markets — inspired by classic stage analysis, adapted through our own testing — with entries, mistakes, and lessons published as they happen.

The Analyzer
Enter any ticker to check it against our trend/stage criteria — the same engine behind the Markets panel above.
ASX tickers need the .AX suffix (e.g. BHP.AX). US tickers as-is (e.g. AAPL). Up to 12 at a time.
The Log
Latest entries
Dated, unedited after publishing. Setup, thesis, and outcome — even when the outcome is a stop-out.
Our Framework
A framework, not a feeling
This journal runs on The Analyzer — our own trend-and-stage framework, built on general technical analysis principles and adapted through our own testing and experience. It's a system still in testing, and we'll keep updating it as our results and understanding develop. Every trade has a defined setup, a defined risk, and a defined reason for existing before money moves.
Stage analysis first
Every candidate is placed on the stage cycle before anything else is considered — no setup gets evaluated out of context.
Risk defined before entry
Position size and stop-loss are set before the trigger, not after. If the risk isn't clear, there's no trade.
Losses published too
Stop-outs and mistakes are logged with the same detail as wins. A journal that only shows winners isn't a journal.
Two books, kept separate
Long-term holdings and swing trades are never blended — different goals, different rules, different accounting.
