Turn every capture into insight—track, review, and refine your edge.
What it is
Winning the dividend capture game isn’t about finding magic tickers—it’s about learning from your own trades.
The Dividend Capture Pro Trade Log is a simple, structured journal that records each capture so you can
see what works, fix what doesn’t, and repeat the wins on purpose.
It’s the long-term memory every Yield Raider needs: clear entries, consistent fields, and clean summaries that make patterns impossible to miss.
How it works
- Record the setup — Ticker, instrument (stock/ETF), ex-dividend date, plan (capture dividend, ride pop, or both).
- Log execution — Entry date/price, exit date/price, notes on slippage, spread, or news.
- Mark the outcome — Dividend collected (Y/N), P/L in dollars and %, hold days, yield on cost.
- Reflect briefly — 1–2 sentences on what you’d repeat or change. Keep it short so you’ll actually do it.
The Trade Log is your history and analysis layer—complementing the Trade Tracker
(live dashboard). Tracker = now. Log = lessons.
Why it matters
- Reveals patterns — which tickers recover fast, which spreads kill you, which entries work best.
- Builds discipline — logging shuts down Sloth and Greed (two of the Seven Deadly Sins).
- Shortens the learning curve — you improve in weeks, not years, because feedback is visible.
If you don’t log a trade, you didn’t really learn from it. The DCP Trade Log fixes that.

Quick answers
Isn’t the Trade Tracker enough?
They work together. The Tracker helps you run current captures; the Log helps you analyze after the fact and spot repeatable edges.
What’s the minimum I should log?
Ticker, ex-date, entry/exit, P/L, and a one-line note. Consistency beats detail.
