A verifiable memory
Memory overweights intense trades. A journal keeps ordinary ones too and lets you compare them with the same rules.
Process before outcome
A profitable trade can be poorly executed, while a losing trade can follow the plan perfectly. The journal makes that distinction visible.
Technical data and behaviour
Price, size and P&L explain one side. Emotion, urgency, FOMO, revenge trading and plan deviations explain the other.
When it becomes useful
When fields stay consistent and reviews happen regularly. Without review, a journal can become only an archive.
FAQ
Is it different from broker history?
Yes. Broker history records execution; a journal adds context, rationale and review.
Does it need to be complex?
No. It should be simple enough to use consistently.
