# Zerodha Trade Journal

Nexus Journal helps Zerodha traders move from raw tradebook data to structured trade review, analytics, and tax-aware performance tracking.

## From tradebook to journal

A broker tradebook shows executions, but it does not automatically explain lifecycle, setup quality, drawdown, risk exposure, notes, or chart context.

Nexus turns imported records into journal-ready data so traders can review the full story of each position.

## Pyramids and partial exits

When the same symbol has multiple entries and exits, Nexus uses trade lifecycle logic to keep entries, exits, quantities, realized P&L, and chart markings aligned.

This is especially useful for traders who scale into winners or reduce positions in multiple parts.

## Analytics after import

After import, traders can review realized P&L, net P&L, monthly performance, drawdown, profit giveback, PF impact, top performers, and notes.

The journal is designed to help answer what worked, what failed, and whether risk was controlled.
