How is the SignalShield journal different from a normal trading journal?
SignalShield treats the journal as behavior evidence. Execution records, context, status, cooldown or lock history, and review notes help traders understand what happened under pressure instead of relying on memory alone.
Traders who want execution records to preserve rule adherence, emotional state, alert context, and review evidence instead of only P/L.
Next decision
Start with manual journal evidence, then decide whether connected alerts and automated guardrails would improve follow-through.
How it works
Status first, evidence second, review always.
01
A valid execution entry should create a journal record.
02
When a system is Cooldown or Locked, execution submissions should remain journal-only and avoid mutating live counters.
03
Journal records can connect to alert history, status, rule adherence, emotional state, and review context.
04
Journal coverage issues should be visible through Event/Journal Status instead of silently hidden.
Evidence and boundaries
What must remain visible for the feature to be trustworthy.
Valid executions should remain visible even during non-active states.
Journal-only behavior preserves review evidence while respecting live control state.
Filters and pagination should not make records look missing without explanation.
