Complete reference for every feature in Tradiator.
Accounts
Accounts are the foundation of Tradiator. Every trade belongs to an account, and your stats are filtered by account type across the entire app.
Account types
Creating an account
- 1Settings → Accounts tab → + Add Account
- 2Enter name, firm, type (Eval/Funded/Live), platform, size, and start date
- 3Each prop firm eval should be its own account — e.g. 'Apex 50K #1', 'Apex 50K #2'
Marking an account blown
When an Eval or Funded account is failed, mark it blown to track your survival rate.
- 1Settings → Accounts → click the Blown toggle on any Eval/Funded account
- 2Or toggle 'This trade blew the account' when logging the losing trade
- 3Blown accounts show a 💥 icon instead of E/F in the account list
- 4Reversible — uncheck the toggle to restore the account to Active
Auto Commission
Auto Commission pre-fills the commission field on every new trade so you never forget to log it.
- 1Settings → Preferences → Auto Commission
- 2Enter your per-trade commission (e.g. $3.50 for 1 NQ contract on Tradovate)
- 3Save — every new trade now defaults to this amount
- 4The commission field is still editable per-trade if you need a different value
- 5When importing CSV, the auto commission is used as fallback if the CSV has no commission column
Logging Trades
There are three ways to log trades: the dashboard quick buttons, the full trade form, or CSV import.
Full trade form (Trades → New Trade)
R-Multiple
R-multiple is calculated automatically if you provide Entry, Exit, and Stop prices. Formula: (Exit − Entry) ÷ (Entry − Stop) for longs. Negative for losses.
CSV Import
Import trade history directly from Tradovate, ProjectX, or a generic CSV.
Tradovate
- 1In Tradovate: Account → Reports → Performance → Export CSV
- 2Use the Performance report — not Fills or Orders
- 3In Tradiator: Import CSV → select Tradovate → choose your account → upload
- 4Entry/exit prices, P&L, commission, and direction import automatically
Generic CSV columns
Trade Detail
Click any trade row to open the full trade detail page.
What you can do
Mass Edit
Mass edit lets you update multiple trades at once — perfect for copy-traded accounts where every account gets the same trade.
- 1On the Trades page, select multiple trades using checkboxes
- 2Ctrl+click to add individual trades to the selection
- 3Shift+click to select a range of trades
- 4Click Mass Edit in the action bar that appears
- 5Only fill in the fields you want to change — blank fields are left untouched
- 6Click Update X Trades
Playbook Calendar
The calendar shows every trading day color-coded by net P&L. Green = profitable, red = loss.
- 1Use the Eval / Funded / Live pill tabs to filter by account type
- 2The calendar reflects only the selected account type's trades
- 3Click any day — with or without trades — to open the day screen
- 4The Today button jumps back to the current month
Day Screen
Every calendar day has its own screen showing trades and journal entry for that date.
Stat cards
Trade cards
Each trade shows direction, symbol, contracts, entry/exit, R-multiple, setup, session, grade, net P&L, and commission. Edit or delete trades directly from the day screen.
Journal Entries
Journal entries are written per day and separate from trades. Create one from any day screen.
Fields
Setups
Document every setup you trade with entry conditions, rules, and screenshots.
- 1Strategies → Setups tab → Add Setup
- 2Give it a clear title (e.g. 'ICT Fair Value Gap NY Open')
- 3Write entry conditions, rules, and what to look for
- 4Add tags for quick filtering
- 5After saving, click the screenshot zone to upload a chart example
Mistakes
The Mistakes section is one of the most powerful features in Tradiator. Document every mistake you repeat, then tag individual trades with a specific mistake to track the true cost over time.
- 1Strategies → Mistakes tab → Add Mistake
- 2Write a specific, actionable title (e.g. 'Chasing entries after missed setup')
- 3Describe what triggers it and how to prevent it
- 4When logging a trade where you made this mistake, select it from the Mistake dropdown
- 5Insights will eventually show you the P&L impact of each mistake
Winners
Document repeating winning patterns so you can recognize and replicate them.
- 1Strategies → Winners tab → Add Winner
- 2Describe the conditions that made it work
- 3Upload a screenshot of a clean example
- 4Review this section before each session as a mental warm-up
Dashboard
The dashboard is your command center. It opens on the most profitable account type by default.
Account type tabs
Eval, Funded, and Live tabs filter every metric to that account type. Active/Blown counts and survival rate show for Eval and Funded tabs.
Date range
Metrics
