Trader’s Journal is important, but I think Trader’s Diary is pretty basic in Dhan. Are any upgrades planned for the same in the future?
Below are some ideas:
(1) Different colour coded/pie chart days to visualise the magnitude of P&L for the month.
(2) Show a pictorial snapshot of the chart of the trade in a day.

Additionally, there should be an option to select segment-specific Profit and Loss, such as equity only or F&O only.
Moreover, the custom date range for PnL should extend beyond a year.
If feasible, provide trade wise details of brokerage and other charges in trader’s diary.
Adding an account value curve would be a fantastic addition.

No, I use Excel for journaling my trades.
Not a physical one. It’s on an excel sheet with some additional insights like a bar graph showing highest and lowest P&L, average P&L, win rate, average yeild and some more. @RahulDeshpande
