Trading Journal: The Most Honest Mirror
Brothers, you know, in this profession, the most truthful mirror of yourself isn’t the profit/loss statement, but the trading journal.
I once went through a phase of stubbornness—“revenge trading” after a few losing orders. I kept increasing volume to try to make up for it, and then I blew up my account. At that time, only the notes about the reasons for entering/exiting trades, along with my own feelings, could fully reveal that harmful behavior. CZ emphasized that psychological factors and discipline matter more than even analytical knowledge.
That’s when I realized that numbers don’t lie, but emotions can easily deceive me. For every trade—whether it wins or loses—write down in detail: why you entered, what you expected, how your mindset evolved, and the lesson you drew. This will help you identify the repeating cycles of your own mistakes.
For reference only, not investment advice. DYOR.
