Your SniperJournal dashboard is no longer a fixed page. It's a board you build from widgets — 38 of them, each answering a single trading question, from "How much did I make?" to "Which market session works best for me?" Add the ones you care about, drop the ones you don't, and arrange them the way you think.
Nothing changes until you want it to. The default board is the classic dashboard you already know, so if you never open the editor, everything stays exactly where it was. This guide walks through the whole thing: turn on edit mode, add widgets from the catalog, arrange and resize them, then name the board and save. It takes about two minutes.
What changed (and what didn't)
The board you see today is the classic dashboard, widget for widget: Net P&L, win rate, profit factor and the rest, then your charts. If you'd hidden some sections before, that choice carried over — your old layout became your starting board.
Three things still work exactly as before, and they apply to the whole board at once: the time period selector, the Filters panel (symbols and side), and Ghost Mode. Change the period and every widget updates together. Turn on Ghost Mode and the widgets that track your mistake trades recalculate without them. Customizing the board is about which answers you see — not how they're worked out.
Step 1 · Turn on edit mode
Scroll to the bottom of your dashboard. Under the last row, over on the right, there's a small Customize link. Click it.
The board shifts into edit mode. Every widget gets a small handle floating over its top edge, and a toolbar appears at the bottom of the screen with everything you need: a name field, a + button, Reset, Cancel and Save. Nothing is saved yet — you can click Cancel at any point and the board snaps back to how it was.
Step 2 · Add widgets from the catalog
Click the + button in the bottom toolbar to open the widget catalog — a panel that slides in from the right. It's the menu of all 38 widgets, grouped into five families:
- Performance — P&L, win rate, trend and consistency.
- Risk — reward quality, loss size and costs.
- Timing — hours, days and how long you hold.
- Symbols & setups — which markets and setups drive your results.
- Summary — activity, recent trades and your Sniper Score.
Each widget is framed as a question — "Do my winners pay for my losers?", "Which hour of the day is most profitable for me?" — so you can look by what you want to know, not by a metric name you have to remember. Type in the search box, or tap a category chip to narrow the list. Widgets added recently wear a small New badge.
Say you want to know which markets carry your account. Type "symbol" and the list narrows to what fits — Symbol Ranking and the Symbol × Session Matrix. Click Add on the ones you want; the button flips to Added, so you always know what's already on your board.
Close the catalog when you're done. The widgets you added are waiting at the bottom of the board, ready to place.
Step 3 · Arrange and resize
Back on the board, every widget carries a floating handle with everything you need to position it.
To move a widget, drag it by the grip on the left of its handle and drop it where you want — the others reflow around it. On a touchscreen, or if you'd rather not drag, the two arrows nudge it one slot earlier or later.
To resize, use the S · M · L · XL buttons on the handle. The sizes are shares of the row: S is a quarter, M a third, L a half, and XL the full width. Value cards — a single number like Net P&L — come in S or M; charts and tables can stretch all the way to XL when you want them big. The board closes gaps on its own, so mixing sizes never leaves an awkward hole.
To remove a widget, click the × on the right of its handle. It goes straight back to the catalog — nothing is deleted, and you can add it again whenever you like.
On phones the board is a single column, so size doesn't change much there — but the order you set still does. Arrange it for the story you want to read top to bottom.
Step 4 · Name your board and save
Give the board a name in the field on the left of the toolbar — "Risk check", "Morning session", whatever helps you recognize it — then click Save. Your layout is stored and the board leaves edit mode. Cancel throws the draft away and restores the last saved version.
One honest note: your board lives in this browser. It survives refreshes and moving around the app, but it won't follow you to another device or a different browser yet — saved, server-side dashboards are on the roadmap. For now, set up the browser you actually trade from.
Reset: the factory blocks
Made a mess, or just want a clean starting point? The Reset button in the toolbar opens two factory blocks you can switch on and off:
- Classic — the standard dashboard, from Net P&L through to Recent Trades.
- Classic Pro — the analysis row: Sniper Score, hourly performance, the trading heatmap, hold-time analysis and the 365-day consistency heatmap.
They combine. Switch on Classic for the familiar layout; add Classic Pro on top for the deeper charts; switch one off to strip its widgets back out. Anything else you'd added stays put, tucked in after the blocks. It's the fastest way back to solid ground without rebuilding by hand.
Three boards worth building
The point of widgets is to stop scrolling past numbers you never use. A few boards that earn their place:
A timing board. If when you trade matters more than what, build around Session Performance, the Best / Worst Trading Hour and Weekday rankings, and Hold Time Sweet Spot. Add the live Session Clock so you always know which market is open. Your edge by time of day becomes the first thing you see.
A risk check. Drawdown, Largest Win / Loss, Average Day Win / Loss and the Cost of Mistakes together answer one question every morning: "am I in control?" Keep it short, and look at it before your first trade.
A symbols and setups board. Symbol Ranking, Setup Ranking and the Symbol × Session Matrix show where your money actually comes from — and which markets to leave alone. This one rewards a journal with setups tagged, so the Setup Ranking has something to rank.
If something looks off
- A widget says “Not enough data yet.” It needs trades in the selected period to fill in. Widen your time range, or import more history — every widget reads your real trades.
- The board is empty. You removed everything. Open Reset and switch on Classic to get the standard dashboard back in one click.
- My layout looks different on my phone or another computer. Boards are saved per browser for now. Rebuild it once on each device, or trade from one.
- I removed a widget by accident. Nothing's lost — open the catalog with + and add it back, or hit Cancel if you haven't saved yet.
That's the whole system: turn on edit mode, add the widgets that answer your questions, size them, save. Your dashboard stops being one-size-fits-all and starts reflecting how you read your trading. Open it up and build the board you'll actually look at every day.
