Review Sites4.1

TradingView

Trading Journal:

  • Charting and Analysis: Create and save charts with annotations to use as a visual journal.
  • Idea Sharing: Share your trading ideas and strategies to track performance and results.
  • Notes and Comments: Add notes to specific trades or charts to document your decisions and reasoning.
  • Pine Script: Create custom indicators and strategies to dig deeper into past trades.

Pros:

  • Visual Documentation: Annotating charts and saving them gives you a visual history of trades.
  • Community Engagement: Sharing ideas with the community gets you feedback and insights.
  • Lots of Tools: Has a ton of technical analysis tools to help with journaling.

Cons:

  • No Dedicated Journal: While it has useful tools, it doesn’t have a specific trading journal feature to track trades.
  • Data Management: You have to manually track trades and metrics, which takes time.

Finviz

Trading Journal:

  • Stock Screener: Finviz has a stock screener that helps you find trades based on various criteria.
  • Performance Tracking: Track stocks and see historical data to analyze past trades.
  • Watchlists: Create watchlists to monitor specific stocks which can be used to track trading opportunities.

Pros:

  • Simple: Finviz is easy to use and you can find and analyze stocks quickly.
  • Free: Many features are free so it’s accessible to all traders.
  • Lots of Data: Has a ton of information on stocks including news, charts and financials.

Cons:

  • No Journal Features: Finviz doesn’t have dedicated trading journal functionality so it’s not as effective for detailed trade tracking.
  • Less Technical Analysis: While it has some charting capabilities it’s not as comprehensive as TradingView for technical analysis.

Summary

TradingView is better for traders who want a platform to chart, share ideas and visually document trades. But it doesn’t have a formal trading journal so you have to manually track your performance.

Finviz is good for stock screening and performance tracking but doesn’t have journaling features. It’s more about data and insights rather than a complete trading journal.

So if journaling is your top priority then TradingView might be the way to go. But if you need stock screening and performance tracking then Finviz is a good tool but with limited journaling.
