Learn LB TradingTracker
LB TradingTracker is a trade journal for self-directed growth traders who run a rules-based system: fixed position slots, hard stop-losses, profit-taking zones, and market exposure that follows the health of the general market. The app keeps the journal honest — it computes what actually happened in your account and holds it up against the rules you say you trade by.
This knowledge base is for two kinds of readers:
- Experienced self-directed traders who want to know exactly what the app computes and where its numbers come from.
- Leaderboard subscribers who’ve never journaled (or never used a web tool like this) and want a plain-English walkthrough from zero.
Where to start
Section titled “Where to start”- Getting started — set up your portfolio, record your first trades, and import your existing history.
- Using the app — a page-by-page guide: Summary, Trades, Charts, Calendar, ticker pages, and practice mode.
- The method — the trading methodology itself, taught from scratch with diagrams: what winning growth stocks look like, bases, pivots & breakouts, a chart pattern field guide, selling rules, and position sizing & market exposure.
- Concepts — plain-English explanations of the computed features: the market regime classifier, regime-aware performance attribution, and stop discipline & mistake patterns.
- Rule glossary — every term the app uses, defined in our own words with a worked example.
- Billing & data FAQ — trial, subscription, refunds, and what happens to your data.
A note on what this site is not
Section titled “A note on what this site is not”LB TradingTracker is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with Investor’s Business Daily or IBD Leaderboard, and nothing here reproduces their content — where the app cross-references a Leaderboard list, it works only with data you import from your own subscription. Everything the app computes (market regime, attribution, discipline metrics) is our own algorithmic proxy of publicly documented ideas, clearly labeled as such. None of it is investment advice.
