Journal your BTC trades automatically
Flowsense syncs your BTC perpetual trades, nets out fees and funding, and shows your win rate and R per setup. Free for 30 trades a month.
How to journal BTC trades
1.Log every BTC trade with its stop
Record entry, stop, exit and size for each Bitcoin position. With the stop saved, every result becomes an R-multiple, so a 0.5% BTC scalp and a multi-day swing compare fairly.
2.Tag the setup and the session
Was it a breakout, a range fade or a funding squeeze? Tag it, and note whether you traded Asia, London or New York hours. After 30 BTC trades you can see which setups actually pay.
3.Net out fees and funding
BTC perpetuals charge funding every few hours. On a position held for days it can turn a winner flat, so the journal should show P&L after fees and funding, not just the price move.
4.Review the mistakes, not just the P&L
Mark trades where you moved the stop, sized up after a loss or chased a BTC candle. Those tags usually explain more of a bad month than the market does.
Connect a read-only key and Flowsense does all of this for you: Binance, Bybit, OKX or start with the setup guide.
FAQ
- What is the BTC funding rate right now?
- At the last update the BTC USDT perpetual funding rate was +0.0089% per 8h. Over the past 7 days it averaged +0.0084% per interval (about 9.2% a year if it held), and longs paid shorts in 100% of settlements.
- How do I calculate position size for a BTC futures trade?
- Divide the amount you are willing to lose by the distance from entry to stop. With a $10,000 account risking 1% ($100) and a stop 2% below entry, the position is $5,000 of notional, whatever the leverage. The calculator on this page does it with the current BTC price.
- Does leverage change my risk on BTC?
- No. The stop and position size set the risk. Leverage only sets how much margin is locked up and how close the liquidation price sits. Keep the liquidation price beyond your stop, or the exchange can close you before your stop does.
- How should I journal Bitcoin trades?
- Save the entry, stop, exit and size for every BTC trade, tag the setup, and track results in R after fees and funding. Flowsense does this automatically from a read-only Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget or Hyperliquid key.
- Where does this BTC data come from?
- From the public Binance USDT-M futures API, with Bybit as a fallback. Prices, 24h change, the 7-day 1h chart and funding history refresh about once an hour. It is information, not financial advice.
