Recording everything is not the same as recording well. The best fields are the ones you can complete consistently and compare later.

Trade data

Entry, exit, stop, target, size, percentage risk, outcome and duration create the quantitative base.

Context and setup

Record session, timeframe, setup, direction, entry rationale and the conditions that would invalidate the idea.

Behaviour

Track dominant emotion, urgency, FOMO, revenge trading, hesitation or unplanned stop and target changes.

Review

Finish with one sentence on what was executed well, what failed and which concrete rule you will apply next time.

FAQ

Do notes need to be long?

No. Short standardized notes are easier to compare.
