Edit a trade

Fix a trade's numbers, result or fills, add your journal and charts, and see the account after the edit. Imported trades can be reset.

Updated Oct 28, 2026

Open a trade and click Edit. Edit trade looks like the logger: the trade on the left, then your journal; the chart, the numbers and the account on the right. ← Trade goes back without saving.

A trade keeps the way it was entered — Result or Exact fills. The other one is greyed out: "Can't switch on an existing trade".

An imported trade

It's labelled "Imported · Tradovate" (or TopstepX). You can correct the instrument, side, Contracts, Fees, the average Entry and Exit prices and the open and close times (New York time). The net P&L is worked out again from your prices before you save.

  • The account can't change: "An imported trade stays on the account it was imported into".
  • The Broker fills are kept exactly as imported and can't be edited.
  • Once you've saved a change the trade is labelled "Imported · edited". Reset to imported values puts the instrument, side, quantity, prices, fees and times back; your notes, strategy, tags and grade are kept.

A trade you logged by hand

A Result trade: change the Result, before fees, contracts, times and Fees. An Exact fills trade: change the fills themselves — Add partial fill for more entries or exits. Either way you can also change the instrument, date and account. See Log a trade by hand.

Fees

If another trade on this account and instrument has fees, Ink offers Use auto with the amount for this trade's contracts. It's only applied when you tap it — your fees never change by themselves.

The numbers before you save

  • Net P&L with R (net ÷ your Risk), points, and % of the account (net ÷ its starting balance). After a change it shows what it was.
  • after this edit — the account's balance and room to its limits with this trade as edited, the trading day's total, the month's net and R on this trade.

Risk is your planned loss on the whole trade, as a $ amount or as Stop pts (points × point value × contracts).

Your journal and charts

Under Journal it: Session, Grade, a note, + Strategy (with its setup criteria) and + Tag. Rules start Not recorded — tap once for Followed, again for Broken. Paste your chart adds a chart image (⌘V, drop, click, or a TradingView link); it's uploaded when you save.

Saving

Nothing changed shows No changes and the time it was last saved. Discard puts every field back; Save changes saves (⌘↵ works too). Delete trade is at the bottom.
