How to Use the Notebook's Text Editor

Learn how to use the TradeZella Notebook editor to format text, insert tables and images, embed tweets and videos, and take notes by voice.

Written by Team

The editor covers seven areas: images, slash commands, emoji, embeds, importing and exporting, speech-to-text, and undo/redo — each is broken down below.

Adding Images to a Note

  • Paste or drag an image directly into a note.

  • Drag the handles at the corners to resize it.

  • Double-click the image to preview it.

  • A Caption field appears below the image for adding a description.

Using the "/" Slash Command

By hitting “/” on your keyboard, you’ll bring up a menu of command options that make note-taking a breeze.

With this command, you can effortlessly create:

  • Normal, Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3

  • Bulleted List, Numbered List, Check List, Timed List

  • Insert Table, Insert Image

  • Add trade, Add day

  • Quote, Code, Divider

  • Toggle (with Toggle Heading 1/2/3 options)

  • Collapsible

  • Align left / center / right / justify

  • Embed X (Tweet), Embed YouTube video

Inserting Emojis

Typing : within a note opens an emoji picker (organized into categories like Smileys & Emotion) for inserting emoji inline. You can browse by category or type to search/filter by name.

Embedding Tweets and YouTube Videos

  • Paste a YouTube link on its own line — a small popup appears with Embed YouTube video; select it to convert the link into a full embed, or Dismiss to leave it as a plain link.

  • Alternatively, use the "/" menu and select Embed X (Tweet) or Embed YouTube video directly.

Importing and Exporting a Note

Importing and exporting a note both live under the "..." menu — see How to Download Your Notes into a PDF File for that full walkthrough.

Speech-to-Text Support

Take notes faster — and completely hands-free — with built-in Speech-to-Text support in TradeZella. Click the mic icon in the toolbar to dictate a note hands-free.

Undo and Redo

  • Click the two arrow icons ↪️ at the top right of the toolbar to undo or redo your last action.

  • Keyboard shortcuts also work: Cmd+Z / Ctrl+Z to undo, Cmd+Shift+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z to redo.​

The editor supports however you like to journal — from a quick emoji to a full trade chart.
