Trading Journal — Track, Measure, Improve

What to do with the data

Numbers alone don't make you better. Here's how experienced traders turn a journal into an edge.
01
Find what actually pays you

Sort your results by instrument and day of week. If one pair or one session consistently loses, trade it less — or not at all. Let the numbers choose your focus, not habit.
02
Fix discipline before strategy

Compare trades where you followed your plan against trades where you broke it. If broken-plan trades lose, your strategy is fine — your execution is the leak. Tighten the rules around entry timing.
03
Watch the drawdown, not just the wins

Max drawdown tells you how much pain your strategy can inflict. Size your positions so your worst historical dip is survivable — and so you can keep taking the next valid setup.
04
Review on a schedule

Look at your stats every 20–50 trades, not after every trade. Single results are noise; patterns across dozens of trades are signal. Ask the coach below to help you read them.

Ask your journal anything

The coach reads your stats — never your account — and helps you spot the patterns worth acting on.
