Two ways to log a trade
Log the way you actually trade
Whether you place trades yourself or want them pulled in automatically, QbarTrade keeps every leg of a strategy together as one record.
No manual entry
Auto-import from your order book
Upload your broker's order book or trade file and QbarTrade reads it. Individual option fills are auto-merged into their strategy — a short strangle, a bear call spread, an iron condor — so you review complete trades, not raw rows.
- Reads Indian broker order books and tradebooks
- Auto-detects and names the strategy from the legs
- Merges scattered fills into a single basket
- Flags anything that needs a second look before import
Full control, live chain
Build the basket by hand
Pick your underlying, expiry and strikes on a live NSE options chain, tap Buy/Sell on each strike, set your lots, and QbarTrade builds the basket and its net credit/debit for you.
- Live NIFTY / BANKNIFTY / stock options chain
- Any strike, any expiry, calls and puts

- Risk limits and strategy rules checked at entry
Live demo — tap around

Plan vs actual, and your real R
Did the trade go the way you planned?
Set per-leg stop-loss and target and a planned risk:reward, and QbarTrade shows you the R you actually achieved against the R you planned (+1.07R on a planned 1:1.99). Net premium, time held and fees sit alongside it. If you saved a trade with no plan, the journal says so — plainly — so you can't quietly skip that step.

Auto-import that understands option strategies
Import that reads options the way you do
Most tools dump every fill as a separate row. QbarTrade reads a broker order book, auto-creates baskets from your option fills, and labels each one — Short Strangle, Short Put, Bear Call Spread. It merges partial fills automatically, keeps a clear status on every trade, and warns you about missing dates or bad rows before anything lands in your journal.

Your risk rules, checked before the trade is saved
Every record shows your account risk at a glance — daily loss used against your limit, and current max drawdown against your cap. Attach a strategy and run its rules checklist, add your notes, and the trade is logged against the process you set for yourself, not just the numbers.

“This is where a journal stops being a diary and starts being a system.”
Review the decision, not just the result
Where trades turn into lessons
Every trade carries notes for each phase — a “During” note while it's on, a “Looking back” reflection after, and a prompt to answer “Why did I take this trade?”. Close each trade with a lesson, mark it reviewed, and QbarTrade builds a searchable record of your own reasoning — grouped by strategy, so you can see which setups actually reward you.

Looking back
ReviewedNIFTY Iron Condor
Booked a clean 1:1 RR profit today. I got scared when price moved toward one of my short strikes and nearly squared off early. I trusted my setup and risk management instead of reacting emotionally. Theta worked in my favor, and I exited at my target.
Lesson: Don’t let fear override a valid trading plan. Discipline pays.

Questions traders actually search
Frequently asked questions
Is there a trading journal built for Indian options traders?
Yes — QbarTrade is built around NSE F&O. It logs multi-leg strategies as single baskets, supports NIFTY, BANKNIFTY and stock options, and imports directly from Indian broker order books.
Can I journal an iron condor or strangle as one trade?
Yes. Build all the legs on the options chain or let import merge your fills, and the whole strategy is stored as one basket with its net credit, per-leg SL/target and combined P&L.
Does it support NIFTY and BANKNIFTY options?
Yes — NIFTY, BANKNIFTY, FINNIFTY, MIDCPNIFTY and stock options, across weekly and monthly expiries.
Can I import trades from Zerodha or my broker automatically?
Yes. Upload your broker's order book or tradebook and QbarTrade auto-detects the strategy, merges the fills into baskets, and flags anything to review before it's imported.
Does it track per-leg stop-loss and target?
Yes — set a stop-loss and target on each leg, plus a planned risk:reward, and see the R you actually achieved versus the R you planned.
Can I track risk-reward and R-multiple on options trades?
Yes. Every trade shows planned R:R against achieved R, net premium, time held and fees.
Do I have to enter trades manually?
No. You can build a basket by hand on the live chain, or import from your broker's order book — whichever fits how you trade.
Does it work for futures, equity and commodity too?
Yes — Options, Futures, Equity, Commodity and Forex all live in the same account.
