ProjectX trading journal

Short answer

Export your ProjectX trade history from Trades > Export history as CSV, then drop it into TradeStack. The importer recognises the ProjectX layout, builds a daily P&L calendar and calculates win rate, profit factor and expectancy for free.

Exporting your ProjectX trade history

ProjectX keeps its trade export under Trades > Export history. Choose the widest date range you can and download the CSV file. You do not need to reorder columns, rename headers or delete rows first — TradeStack fingerprints the header row and maps the fields itself.

What the importer does with a ProjectX file

One quirk worth knowing: ProjectX-backed prop accounts export one row per completed position. That matters because a journal that pairs fills incorrectly will report a win rate and average win that do not match your statement. After import you can open any trade, edit it, add a screenshot, tag a playbook and write the note that explains the decision.

Metrics you get from ProjectX trades

Daily P&L calendar with the dollar result printed on each day
Win rate, average win, average loss and profit factor
Expectancy per trade and a running equity curve
Stats per instrument and per holding time
Consistency %, which prop firms check before paying out

New to the terminology? Profit factor, Expectancy, R multiple, Drawdown.

Who this is for

ProjectX is used mainly by futures prop traders on ProjectX-powered firms, trading futures. If that is you, the fastest useful review loop is a weekly import: export the week, import it, and read P&L by session and by setup rather than by single trade.

Frequently asked

How do I export trades from ProjectX?

Open Trades > Export history and download the CSV file. Drop that file straight into TradeStack — the importer detects the ProjectX column layout, so there is no template to fill in.
