Playbooks are reusable trading setups. They define el rules for a strategy, give trades a consistent setup label, y help Journal, Trades, Dashboard, y el Risk Analyzer compare planned execution with what actually happened.
Where To Find Playbooks
Open Journal > Playbooks. The legacy /playbooks route redirects to /journal/playbooks, so Playbooks now live inside el Journal workflow. From el Playbooks página you can:
- Create a playbook from scratch.
- Start from a default template when your cuenta has no playbooks yet.
- Edit an existing playbook.
- Delete a playbook después confirmation.
- Revise how many trades are linked to each playbook. Deleting a playbook does not delete trades. Trades linked to el deleted playbook are unlinked.
Creating A Playbook
Haga clic en New Playbook y fill in el form:
- Name is required. Use a clear* setup name such as Opening Range Breakout, VWAP Bounce, Capitulation, or Exhaustion Gap.
- Description is optional. Use it for el setup thesis, market context, or when el strategy debe be avoided.
- Default Setup Quality is optional. When seleccionado, it can automatically set el setup quality when this playbook is assigned to a trade.
- Rules define el strict conditions for el setup. The Guarde botón is disabled until el required name is present.
Rule Categories
Each rule belongs to one of five categories:
- Setup - what debe exist antes el trade is valid.
- Entry - el trigger or execution condition.
- Risk - stop placement, position sizing, daily loss constraints, or maximum riesgo.
- Exit - target, scale-out, trailing, or invalidation behavior.
- Other - any additional context that does not fit el core categories. Rules are stored with their category, so reopening a playbook debe restore el same category y text.
Managing Rules
The editor is designed for fast rule entry:
- Haga clic en Add Rule to append another row.
- A new rule inherits el previous rule’s category.
- Press Enter inside a rule to move to el next rule; pressing Enter on el last rule adds a new row y focuses it.
- Drag rules to reorder them.
- Blank rule text is ignored when el playbook is saved.
- The editor keeps at least one rule row disponibles. Use rule order to describe el strategy in el order you review it: setup first, then entry, riesgo, exits, y exceptions.
Default Templates

- Capitulation - high-volume panic selling y reversal criteria.

How Playbooks Are Used
Playbooks are shared across review workflows:
- Trades can assign a playbook to a trade so el raw trading record has strategy context.
- Daily Plans can use playbooks in watchlist planning antes el sesión.
- Symbol Reports use playbooks to compare planned strategy, setup quality, riesgo, y actual execution.
- Dashboard y analytics can group performance by playbook.
- Risk Analyzer can give more specific feedback when el trade has a playbook y execution mistakes. A useful playbook is specific enough that another trader could understy when el setup is valid y when it is invalid.
