Manual Trade Ledger

How it works

Users activate the script by toggling the 'Log Trade' switch in TradingView's indicator settings. They manually input trade metadata including ticker, premium, contracts, strike, and expiry. The script automatically captures critical information like timestamp and current price.

It calculates percentage change since the first log entry. Each new trade generates a new row in a live table, with a maximum capacity of 50 entries. The table provides a dynamic, real-time record of options trading activity directly on the chart
