RISKLEDGER — Crypto Trading Journal, Position Sizing & Expectancy System
Product Overview
Most crypto traders keep a record that proves nothing. Screenshots, a notes app, an exchange history that mixes fees, transfers and closed positions into one unreadable column — and at the end of the quarter, still no answer to the only question that matters: does this actually work, and where does the money come from?
RISKLEDGER answers it. It is a nine-sheet offline Excel workbook plus a 29-page manual that turns a trade history into evidence: position size calculated before entry from your own stop, and R-multiples, expectancy, profit factor and drawdown calculated after exit — broken down by setup, by session, by hold time and by the state of mind you were in when you clicked buy.
It is a measurement system, not a strategy. It contains no signals, no advice and no predictions, connects to nothing, and works entirely offline.
Key Features
- Position sizing before the trade — enter equity, risk percentage, entry and stop; get the exact position size, stop distance, reward-to-risk and how many losses reach your daily limit.
- One-row trade logging — fill 17 yellow columns and 11 blue columns calculate risk, net P&L, R-multiple, running equity, high-water mark and drawdown automatically.
- A dashboard that reads at a glance — six KPI cards plus an equity curve, monthly P&L and R-multiple distribution, all updating live from the log.
- Setup analysis that ends arguments — win rate, average R, expectancy and profit factor per setup, per pair, per direction and per timeframe.
- Session analysis — results by weekday, by time block and by hold time, so you can find the hours that quietly cost you money.
- Psychology log with a dollar figure — every logged mistake priced in cash, next to a weekly reflection table you actually fill in.
- Drawdown tracking built in — high-water mark, drawdown in dollars and percent on every row, with a four-level protocol explained in the guide.
- 120 worked sample trades — six months, four setups, eight pairs and a realistic 20.6% drawdown, so every chart works on first open and every figure in the manual is reproducible.
- Every formula documented — a dedicated sheet lists all 30 calculations, what each one means and where it lives.
- Completely offline — no account, no wallet, no API key, no macros, no subscription, no data leaves your computer.

Who This Is For
- If you trade crypto actively and cannot say what your expectancy is, this gives you the number in one evening.
- If you size positions by feel and want the stop to define the size instead of the other way round.
- If you keep a journal but never read it — the analysis sheets do the reading for you.
- If you are recovering from a drawdown and need to know whether the strategy broke or the discipline did.
- If you are moving from demo to real money and want a measurement habit before the stakes rise.
- If you refuse to connect your wallet or exchange to a third-party app — nothing here connects to anything.
Why Choose This Product
- It calculates, it does not just record. Free journal templates give you empty columns. This one derives 30 documented metrics from what you type.
- It prices your behaviour. The Psychology Log converts “I keep breaking my rules” into a dollar figure per mistake type — in the sample data, −$5,487 against +$8,641 earned on clean trades.
- It is honest about limits. Every formula is published, the sample data includes a losing month and a 20.6% drawdown, and the guide states plainly what the tool cannot do.
- It is yours forever, offline. No subscription, no login, no exchange permissions, no data sharing — just a file that opens in Excel, Google Sheets or LibreOffice.
How To Use
- Open Crypto_Trading_Journal.xlsx — the Instructions sheet links to everything.
- Set your account equity and risk rules on the Risk Calculator (yellow cells).
- Before each trade, enter entry and stop to get the exact position size.
- After each trade closes, add one row to the Trade Log.
- Read the Dashboard weekly, then use the bonus Weekly Review template to pick one change.
Works in Microsoft Excel 2016+, Google Sheets and LibreOffice Calc 7+. No macros, no add-ins, no internet connection required.
Frequently Asked Questions
What format are the files?
XLSX (workbook), PDF (guide, quick start and bonuses), DOCX (trading plan) and CSV (import template). Nine files in total.
Can I edit the files?
Yes. The workbook, the DOCX plan and the CSV are fully editable. Sheets are protected with an empty password to prevent accidental formula deletion — Review → Unprotect Sheet, leave the password blank.
What software do I need?
Microsoft Excel 2016 or later, Google Sheets, or LibreOffice Calc 7 or later, plus any PDF reader. Nothing else.
Is this for personal or commercial use?
Both. The license covers personal use and use inside your own business, including with clients. Reselling or redistributing the files is not permitted.
What is the refund policy?
Because this is an instant digital download, all sales are final. If a file will not open, contact us through exdfs.com and we will fix it.
Does it connect to my exchange or wallet?
No — by design. There are no API keys, no wallet connections and no live price feeds. You enter your own data and the file never leaves your machine.
Does it calculate my taxes?
No. It is a trading performance tool, not a tax tool: it does not perform cost-basis lot matching and produces no tax forms. Chapter 6 covers record-keeping practice only. For cost-basis work see CRYPTO TAX TRACKER and BASISBRIDGE on exdfs.com.
Is the sample data a real track record?
No. The 120 trades are simulated teaching data, built to include a realistic losing month and a set of typical mistakes so that every chart and statistic is populated when you open the file. Delete them in one step when you are ready.
Does it work on mobile?
The workbook opens in Excel and Google Sheets mobile apps for viewing and quick entry, but the dashboard and charts are designed for a desktop screen.
Bonus Materials Included
Two bonuses ship with every copy, and both are useful on their own. The Pre-Trade Checklist is a printable 17-point run-through across the idea, the invalidation, the size, the exit and the record — plus a page for writing down your own rules while you are calm. The Weekly Review Template is a two-page structure for a 30-minute Sunday review: the agenda, the week in numbers, the four questions and a commitment to exactly one change for next week.
