You can make any notes on the chart, and the Diary will save all drawings and the timeframe of the chart in the trade card. Notes on the chart can be made immediately after opening the trade.

PnL calculation

PnL stands for Profit and Loss, which a trader incurs over a specific period. In the Journal, the PnL calculation follows this formula:
PnL = Selling price - Buying price - Commission - Funding.
Where:
Buying price is the price at which the trader purchased the asset.
Selling price is the price at which the trader sold the asset.
Commission is the fee paid by the trader to the exchange for executing the trade.
Funding is the fee paid by the trader to the exchange for maintaining a balance on perpetual futures contracts. Funding can be either positive or negative.
By default, both commission and funding are included in the PnL calculation. You can adjust these settings. To do so, go to "Settings" and find the "PnL calculation" option.
