Abhi's Project - Trading Log

Trading Background

I am very passionate about trading. I have been studying the financial markets for a few years and have been through many ups and downs. I have learned a lot about myself through the hard work it requires to be a consistent and profitable trader.

Project Information

This project will be a Java GUI where I can log the details of my trades as an entry. I can then calculate basic metrics using my program. This includes calculating winrate and overall profit/loss. I can also view a summary of my trades that I can use for reflection. Perhaps in the future I would like to implement more features so that I can filter my trades based off the instrument I was trading, what session I was trading, how long my best trades lasted, which days should I avoid based off my trading history, etc.

Phase 4: Task 2

Below I paste the sample of what Event and EventLog print to console. In the preview it does not show them in separate lines but in the editor you can see that each statement is printed to a new line.

Process finished with exit code 1

Phase 4: Task 3

• I would probably put the components of InputFields, ButtonPanel, and Title classes in MainFrame. I didn't think it was necessary to split them up, and it would probably make it easier to navigate through the project if it was just the Main class along with the Frame classes.
• There was lots of similarities between CalculateProfitFrame and SeeWinrateFrame. I could have made a general abstract class for them and extended these two classes to that class.
