Coinbase Trading Journal

Sync your Coinbase trades

Open Connect broker in the sidebar, pick Coinbase, and approve a read-only connection. The login happens on Coinbase's own page through SnapTrade, a broker-data provider — your password is never typed into Trend Chasers and never reaches it.

Press Sync and your trades come across. Opens are matched to closes into round-trip trades with the P&L worked out per trade, fees included where the brokerage reports them, and they land on the calendar ready to tag and annotate.

Coinbase is crypto rather than equities, so there are no options contracts, no expirations and no market close. The journal treats a crypto round trip the same as any other: an open, a close, and what happened in between.

Or log them by hand

Log trade takes a symbol, a P&L, a side and a setup tag, and that is a journal entry. Most people who log manually do it at the end of the session from their own P/L screen.

The two mix: sync one account and hand-log a second broker, a prop account or a paper account in the same journal.

Why journal Coinbase trades separately

Coinbase tells you what your account is worth. It does not tell you which setup is actually paying, what time of day you give money back, or whether the rule you broke on Tuesday is the one costing you the most. That is what a journal is for: tags, notes, and a calendar where a losing streak is visible at a glance.

The connection is read-only: it can read your trade history, and it cannot place an order, move money, or change a setting. Disconnect whenever you like — the trades already imported stay in your journal.
