FAQ

Is this the same note I see on the trade page?

Yes. A trade has one note. Editing it here or from the trade's page changes the same note. See the trade note.

Why doesn't a trade appear in the link list?

Each trade can have only one note. Trades that already have one are left out. Try searching by its symbol.
