Trading Sessions

Trading sessions represent the major market hours during which you trade. TradeLog ships with built-in defaults that depend on the account type, and you can customize the windows or define your own sessions. Session data powers session-based analytics, helping you discover which times of day produce your best results.

The Built-In Sessions

• Forex and futures accounts -- four overlapping sessions: Sydney (emerald), Tokyo (blue), London (yellow), and New York (red). Overlaps show combined, for example "London + New York".
• Stocks accounts -- Pre-Market, Regular Hours, and After-Hours.
• Crypto accounts -- no default sessions (crypto trades around the clock); add your own if you want session analytics.
• Outside (gray by default) -- not a configurable session but the auto-assigned bucket for any trade that falls outside all your session windows. Its chip color is customizable.

Configuring Sessions

1. 1Go to Settings in the sidebar.
2. 2Find the Trading Sessions section.
3. 3For each session, set the start time and end time in your own local timezone.
4. 4Add or remove sessions to match your schedule (custom sessions cannot overlap).
5. 5Save your settings.

Sessions in the Journal

The session is detected automatically from each trade's entry time -- there is no session picker when adding a trade, and the journal Session cell has no inline edit. To correct session assignments, adjust your session windows in Settings and click Re-detect, which re-tags all your trades. The session appears as a colored label in the journal table.

Session Analytics

The Analytics page breaks down your performance by session:

• Win rate per session
• Average PnL per session
• Total PnL per session
• Trade count per session
• Best performing session highlighted
• Session colors are customizable in Settings (including the Outside session color)
