Playbooks are reusable trading setups. They define o rules for a strategy, give trades a consistent setup label, e help Journal, Trades, Dashboard, e o 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 o Journal workflow. From o Playbooks página you can:
- Create a playbook from scratch.
- Start from a default template when your conta has no playbooks yet.
- Edit an existing playbook.
- Delete a playbook depois confirmation.
- Revise how many trades are linked to each playbook. Deleting a playbook does not delete trades. Trades linked to o deleted playbook are unlinked.
Creating A Playbook
Clique em New Playbook e fill in o 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 o setup thesis, market context, or when o strategy deve be avoided.
- Default Setup Quality is optional. When selecionado, it can automatically set o setup quality when this playbook is assigned to a trade.
- Rules define o strict conditions for o setup. The Salve botão is disabled until o required name is present.
Rule Categories
Each rule belongs to one of five categories:
- Setup - what deve exist antes o trade is valid.
- Entry - o trigger or execution condition.
- Risk - stop placement, position sizing, daily loss constraints, or maximum risco.
- Exit - target, scale-out, trailing, or invalidation behavior.
- Other - any additional context that does not fit o core categories. Rules are stored with their category, so reopening a playbook deve restore o same category e text.
Managing Rules
The editor is designed for fast rule entry:
- Clique em Add Rule to append another row.
- A new rule inherits o previous rule’s category.
- Press Enter inside a rule to move to o next rule; pressing Enter on o last rule adds a new row e focuses it.
- Drag rules to reorder them.
- Blank rule text is ignored when o playbook is saved.
- The editor keeps at least one rule row disponíveis. Use rule order to describe o strategy in o order you review it: setup first, then entry, risco, exits, e exceptions.
Default Templates
Se you do not have any playbooks yet, Trandence mostra starter templates. Current templates include:
- Capitulation - high-volume panic selling e reversal criteria.
- Daily Over Extensions & Exhaustion Gaps - extended moves, gap exhaustion, e reversal criteria. Clique em Use This Template to save a template as your own playbook. Você pode edit it depoiswards.
How Playbooks Are Used
Playbooks are shared across review workflows:
- Trades can assign a playbook to a trade so o raw trading record has strategy context.
- Daily Plans can use playbooks in watchlist planning antes o sessão.
- Symbol Reports use playbooks to compare planned strategy, setup quality, risco, e actual execution.
- Dashboard e analytics can group performance by playbook.
- Risk Analyzer can give more specific feedback when o trade has a playbook e execution mistakes. A useful playbook is specific enough that another trader could underste when o setup is valid e when it is invalid.
