Trade Rythm

A minimalist trading journal plugin for Obsidian — designed to live alongside your existing notes, not replace them.

Why Trade Rythm?

Most trading journal plugins demand a complete overhaul of your workflow. Trade Rythm takes a different approach: a clean, unobtrusive sidebar panel that integrates seamlessly with your existing Obsidian vault. Whether you're journaling personal reflections, tracking projects, or managing a trading portfolio — Trade Rythm stays out of your way until you need it.

Simple by design. No overwhelming dashboards, no complex configurations. Just a straightforward table view and essential analytics when you want them. Switch between your trading journal and any other note with a single click.

Features

  • Table view — browse all trades, sort, filter, search
  • Inline editing — click any cell to edit via dropdown panel
  • PnL Dashboard — total PnL, win rate, best/worst trade, profit factor
  • Trade creation — one-click new trade with YAML template
  • Checklist Templates — configure your own checklists in Settings
  • Draggable lists — reorder items by dragging
  • Guide modal — click "?" for built-in help
  • Before/During/After callouts — structured trade reflection
  • After-Action Report — 3-column board (What Went Well / Wrong / Improvements)
