How to use a Trading Journal step by step

The cleanest workflow separates three moments: before the trade, during execution and after the close. This prevents you from rebuilding the story from memory.

Decision

1. Define fields before trading

Choose a few mandatory fields: setup, session, risk, rationale, invalidation and emotional state.

2. Record execution

Save entry, stop, target, size, exit and any meaningful management change.

3. Run a short review

Ask whether you followed the plan, what mistake appeared and what you would repeat in the same situation.

4. Review in blocks

At the end of the week compare setups, sessions, risk and frequency. Avoid major conclusions from two or three trades.
