Logging only memorable trades
Leaving out boring or losing trades creates a biased sample and weaker metrics.
Changing fields constantly
If setups, tags and emotions change every week, period comparisons become unreliable.
Judging from a tiny sample
Three trades do not define a strategy. Use the journal to observe patterns over time, not react to each result.
Confusing P&L with discipline
Financial outcome alone does not show whether the plan was followed. Separate execution quality from outcome.
FAQ
How many metrics should I track?
A small set connected to decisions. Add more only when you know how you will use them.
Should I change my plan after one bad week?
Not automatically. Check sample size, context and execution quality first.
