Great thanks Manel, it was that quick I didn’t even realise I’d made it view only. I’ll sort that now.
Nobody need feel that have to complete ALL the columns ..Thanks. better to have to some data readily accessible than no data at all.
Better to feel relaxed and ‘bang a trade in the sheet’ than feel ‘put off’ that it has to be entered 100% complete.

PS Sorted … anyone should be able to edit now. Please let me know if you have any problems.
@maleknf yes that is it … ‘bang em in on the Sheet’ please.
If we get a few trades listed by a few members and it all seems to work okay then I’ll ask a Moderator to put the Link on Post 1 of this Thread.
Anybody feel free to improve my layout / column headings etc by by changing them yourself.
It would be a good idea to show the columns we consider essential in Red then everybody knows they need to 100% complete the red columns?

Thanks very much Grahal. I have kicked off the reporting and filled in the latest couple of days trades, and it also gives the rest of the guys viewing it an idea of how it’ll look as we go along. I have changed the columns and formatting slightly (hope you don’t mind :-)) and made the columns that need to be filled out highlighted in yellow (I left the red colour free for shorts and losses and to create a future “heat” map). I have also made some of the columns conditional formatted so that if you enter long/short etc the colour of the cell will automatically change. Keeps it simple for members.
All users need to do is go in and input a new trade with the trade info in a few cells – or add their name to the confirm column if that trade has already been inputted by someone else (please allow +/- 5 points difference in SB vs CFD position taking etc etc).
Hopefully this will serve as a useful guide for people who want to check the current status of trades especially as not everyone will be running all the strategies. And also more importantly, if you want to manually open/close Pathfinder trades for whatever reason then this gives you an easy tool to lookup the current direction and trade prices of the strategy.
Hope people find this useful !

Hi Grahal – Great, I think we’re good to go for now. I’m ok with it being on your drive, it’s no problem.
Your suggestions make sense, I’ll move the instructions to the top so that they are always visible. Yes, we need a common time format to compare so will look to add the automatic time zone conversion as you have suggested but in the meantime people can just input their own timezone (if they are not aware of the GMT times) and I can manually adjust for now as there won’t be many to do anyway.
I see a couple of people have already contributed to the sheet, thank you.
Yes – if this is an idea/format that people want to roll out across other systems/threads then that’s even better. The more info we share the better for all users. We can hopefully iron out a few wrinkles and make some tweaks over the next weeks as well.

I think it would be much better and more readable if we have one column with entry price and one column with exit price. Then it will be quite obvious which trades are closed and which are still open. The gain/loss column could be calculated by a formula.
Now it is hard to follow which entry and which exit belongs together.
