OKX Trading Journal

What is an OKX trading journal?

An OKX trading journal is a complete record of your OKX trades, scored so you can tell signal from luck. The do-it-yourself version is a spreadsheet you keep updating by hand, and it almost always misses the funding charged on perpetual swaps held overnight.

TMM keeps the record for you. Connect once and your spot, swap, and expiry-futures history loads on its own, then keeps pace with every new fill.

How TMM auto-imports your OKX trades

OKX keys come with one extra piece compared to most exchanges: a passphrase you choose at creation. You'll need all three credentials. Here's the flow:

• •Log in to OKX and open Profile -> API (under your account settings).
• •Create a new V5 API key and set permission to Read only. Do not grant Trade or Withdraw.
• •Set a passphrase when prompted — a string you create, separate from your login password. Write it down; OKX won't show it again.
• •Copy the API Key, the Secret Key, and remember that passphrase.
• •Paste the key, secret, and passphrase into TMM and connect.

What you can track

The full OKX product range comes in: spot pairs, perpetual swaps, and the dated expiry futures that settle on a set date. On the swaps, TMM logs each funding payment when it hits, so a swap you carried through several funding windows shows every one of them in its net result, not just entry and exit.

Per trade and per account, you get:

• •Net PnL after funding and fees — the figure that actually moved your balance
• •Win rate plus average win against average loss
• •R-multiple on each position, so your risk-to-reward is visible at a glance
• •Equity curve across spot, swaps, and expiry futures combined
• •Per-symbol breakdown so your BTC-USDT-SWAP record doesn't blur into your altcoin trades

Why traders use TMM for OKX

Funding-true PnL is why traders switch. A manual OKX journal logs the open and the close and ignores the funding charged in between; TMM subtracts what you paid and adds what you earned, so your equity curve lines up with your real account. On top of that:

• •The AI coach reads your OKX swap and spot history and surfaces the leaks, like holding losing swaps through funding hoping for a turn.
• •Your public profile is exchange-verified — stats come straight from your fills, so leaderboard placement reflects real results you can point to.
• •You join 170,000+ traders keeping their journals on TMM.
• •The free tier runs the core journal; Pro adds the deeper analytics when you're ready.
