Let's get acquainted.Excel 2010 / 2013,
Let's make a duplicate file!
Before recording any trades, it's re-
commended to make duplicate copies of
your file, and name them:
- TJS Practice.xlsb
- TJS Backup.xlsb, etc.
You can make as many file copies as needed!
Right-click on the fie (or icon), then use the Copy/Paste commands,

Mac users can also use the Option key, then drag the file to
another location to create a duplicate copy“Optimizing the “view”
You may find yourself needing to optimize your Excel
settings to get a proper view, especially for laptop use.
Recommendations are...
1. First, keep the upper Excel toolbar minimized (collapsed)...
It's simply not needed.
To collapse, just double-click on the upper toolbar tab that the sheet is currently on.

Windows users will find this at the bottom-right of the screen.
Mac users will find this at the top section of the toolbar.
3. Make sure that both Excel workbook and TJS worksheet are fully
‘maximized’. Click the little rectangle(s) next to the "x " at the top-right of window to
make sure both are maximized (full-screen), and not floating around your screen.

Step Two:
Deleting markets ("All-in-One" users). If your TJS has multiple markets, you may want to
delete those markets that you don't plan to trade. This will lessen the file size, while
allowing you to focus on just those markets that pertain to you. This function is in the
FomelVienu, underneath the menu section - just scroll down until you see the colored
buttons.
Enter Broker Account(s). Go to the TJS HomelV/enu > My Info > Accounts. This sheet is
used to consolidate multiple broker account statements. It can also link a particular
account to a specific Tracking sheet.
Recording trades. You may want to decide now if you'll be logging your trades during
the trading day. If so, just keep the TJS TradingLog open while you trade, then simply
log your trade info as you go. If you see this being a distraction while trading, it's suggested
to print the TradeSheet (Homel/enu > TradeSheet), then make copies so they're at your
disposal.

Step Three:
On the HomeMenu, click on a Tracking sheet. Now, customize it to make it
"yours". Treat it as an extension to your trading plan!
Anything underneath a Code or Description header can be typed over. Simply enter (or
add) descriptions of what you'd like to track, then assign a code to each of them. These
codes will be used in the drop-down menu's of the TradingLog sheet.
The same is true for the yellow header categories above them. If you'd like to change an
entire category, just retype over the default text.
Now, complete each of the other Tracking sheet(s) that you
plan to use - if using a multiple market product.

Step Four: 1 ea
On the HomeMenu, click on a TradingLog sheet. The header will display your
RecUiss osetia Cena vin test cherie ne
To record a trade, start on row 18. This first row of trade input will display pop-up instructional
boxes. Use the keyboard 'tab' key to scroll from left-to-right. Some cells have drop down
arrows that you can use, or manually type using the keyboard.
Most formulated cells will automatically be tabbed over, to avoid unexpected user error. If you
need to gain access to a formulated cell in the TradingLog, you must Unprotect the sheet.
Once the trade is closed (with an Exit Price), the top-header will populate, and the Tracking
sheet will populate after the Performance-tracking codes have been entered.
Options, Forex, SpreadBet — please click the "Trade Input" link in cell D8.
TIP: If you'd like to record MFE / MAE / BSO, please click the appropriate icon found to the right
of the graphs (in the TradingLog header). This will ‘unhide' the columns that are used for this analysis.Analyzing your trades
What are your Strengths & Weaknesses!
If you're anything like us at TJS, the process of watching your trading efforts unfold will
actually be fun. In fact, it's really what this product is all about... cultivating data from the
TradingLog into meaningful information in the Tracking sheet.
After a string of trades have been recorded for any specific category (10 min., 20+ is best),
you can start analyzing the information to see where your Strengths & Weaknesses are.
Our advice is to send the losing sub-categories (descriptions) back to the ‘planner’ or
simply stop doing what is not working and increase your focus on what "is" working.
