Why do I need a journal if the broker shows my history?

Broker history only shows the outcome. A trading journal captures entry reason, emotions, context and per-strategy / per-instrument / per-session stats — that's what tells you why you win or lose.

Do I have to log trades manually in Excel?

No. TradeLogic syncs with MT4, MT5, cTrader, OANDA and crypto exchanges. You can also upload a CSV or a screenshot from your platform.
