trading journals

A trading journal is a detailed record of a trader’s activity, including every buy and sell decision, the reasoning behind each trade, and its outcome. It helps traders analyze their strategies, identify patterns, and improve their decision-making over time. Think of it as a performance diary that tracks what works and what doesn’t, providing valuable insights to refine and develop more consistent, disciplined trading habits. Maintaining a trading journal is a key tool for ongoing improvement and risk management in trading.
