A trading journal that lives on your WordPress site. Log options, futures, and stocks by hand. See your P&L, keep notes, and review how you traded.

== Description ==

NoCopium Trade Journal is a **trade journal on your own WordPress site**. You type in the trades you care about — stocks, options, futures, and multi-leg structures — then review them with a simple dashboard and a full journal list.

Your fills stay **on your server**. This is not a SaaS journal that holds your data for you.

= What You Get For Free =

* Log as many trades as you want — no trade cap
* Options with up to four legs in one trade
* Name your strategies and keep more than one account
* Search and filter the journal
* Dashboard with P&L, win rate, equity curve, monthly gains, and a day-by-day P&L calendar
* Switch the Free dashboard between **this year (YTD)** and **this month (MTD)**
* Quick glance: how many trades are open, what expires soon, and how this week looks
* Optional tags: how you felt when you opened (**mindset**), and whether you **followed or broke your plan** when you closed
* Optional buying power / max loss so you can see return on risk when it adds something beyond profit %
* Export trades to a spreadsheet; back up and restore your journal (onto an empty journal)
* Load sample trades to explore before you log your own
* Optional public journal page with `[nocopium_journal]`
* Light or Dark look for the admin screens and the public journal

= What Free Does Not Include =

* **Importing from Tastytrade** (CSV or optional read-only sync) — that is Pro
* Deep **Analytics** (full strategy tables, drawdown, streaks, and P&L by plan/mindset over any date range)
* The full dashboard **date Range** menu (beyond Free’s YTD / MTD)
* A paid license — Free on WordPress.org needs none

= Optional Tags (Mindset & Plan) =

When you open a trade, you can note your **mindset** (for example Disciplined or FOMO). When you close, you can mark **Followed Plan** or **Broke Plan**.

The Free dashboard shows a short look at your recent tagged trades. **Pro Analytics** turns those tags into full reports over the date range you pick. Import does not fill these tags for you.

= Your Journal =

* Each trade lives in your WordPress database
* Common fields: symbol, account, strategy, entry/exit, fees, P&L, notes
* Optional extras: IVR, VIX, underlying price, buying power, max loss, and more
* **Needs Review** marks incomplete rows so they do not skew your stats until you fix them

= Dashboard =

* See this year or this month (Free toggle)
* Equity curve and monthly gains
* Calendar of green and red days
* Filter by account when you have more than one

= Backup, Export & Public Page =

* Back up / restore from Settings (the destination journal must be empty)
* Export the journal to a spreadsheet from the Trade Journal page
* Put `[nocopium_journal]` on a page if you want a public view (on by default; turn it off in Settings)

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= What does this plugin do? =

It is a trading journal inside WordPress. You log options, futures, stocks, and multi-leg trades by hand, then review P&L, charts, and optional tags.

= Can I import from Tastytrade? =

Not in Free. **Pro** (sold at [nocopium.com](https://nocopium.com/)) can import a Tastytrade transactions CSV, and optionally sync history read-only. Free still lets you log every trade by hand with no limit.

= Does Pro sync place trades at my broker? =

No. Sync only **reads** past transactions. It never places, changes, or cancels orders.

= Can I track mindset and whether I followed my plan? =

Yes, in Free. Tag mindset when you open; tag Followed vs Broke Plan when you close. The Free dashboard shows a short summary of recent tags. Full reports over any date range are in **Pro Analytics**.

= Where is my data stored? =

On your WordPress site. You own the server and the data.

= Do I need a license for Free? =

No. Pro is purchased and activated at [nocopium.com](https://nocopium.com/).

= Can I attach screenshots? =

Yes — paste a URL or upload from the Media Library on the trade form.

= How do I move my journal to another site? =

Use **Settings → Backup / restore**. Download a backup, install NoCopium on the new site with an **empty** journal, then restore. Use **Export** on the Trade Journal for spreadsheets. Screenshot files in the Media Library are not copied in the backup.
