Hi,

What do you guys use to keep track of your day to day trading records? I am currently using excel to do the job.

Wondering if there's any better options out there.

Any help would be appreciated.

Are u for real?
Most accounts have a daily P/L sheet that is available to you via email or downloading from your account

It's a valid question, esp if you want more than just your P&L saved.

I was impressed with TraderDNA but they dropped the ball on connecting with Open ECry. I am looking for a replacement. If I can't find it, may be time to consider designing something....

not sure whether this will meet your requirement, this is built with Excel macro and link to word etc.

http://shop.elder.com/shopexd.asp?id=236

however, one limitation is that it is design to work with Elder's (the author of "trading for a Living" ) Trade Management method. So if you are not a fan of his method, it might not be of any good to you , but will give you some idea.

however, if it is closed to what you want, u might be able to email the programmer of the package (via the support) to see whether he can make some changes, if that is possible, it will definitely save you lots of time developing the software.

e.g.it is hard coded to limit the maximum loss per trade to 2% of your account, however, I supposed the programmer can easily changed it to be a variable rather than hard coded 2% per Elder's method.
