Trade Journal

Purpose

Learn from your own decisions rather than from your outcomes. A profitable trade taken against your rules is a bad trade that will be repeated; a losing trade taken correctly is a good one. Without a journal, these are indistinguishable.

When to Use

• Recording a trade at entry.
• Reviewing performance over a period.
• After a losing streak, to determine whether the process or the market changed.
• Identifying recurring mistakes.
