๐ I LOST MONEY FOR 2 YEARS. THEN I STARTED WRITING 5 LINES A DAY.
A trading journal. Sounds boring. It's the single highest-ROI habit in trading.
Why: You can't fix a leak you can't see. Most traders lose from the SAME 2โ3 mistakes repeated 100 times. The journal makes them visible.
What to log (per trade โ takes 60 seconds):
1๏ธโฃ Setup โ why did I enter? (breakout / support bounce / news / boredom?)
2๏ธโฃ Plan โ entry, stop-loss, target โ written BEFORE clicking
3๏ธโฃ Emotion โ calm / FOMO / revenge / overconfident (1 word)
4๏ธโฃ Result โ P&L in %
5๏ธโฃ Lesson โ one sentence
Review every Sunday. Ask:
โ Which setup actually makes money? (Do more of that)
โ Which setup bleeds? (Delete it from your playbook)
โ What emotion shows up in my worst trades?
What mine revealed after 30 days:
โ 70% of my losses came from trades I entered out of BOREDOM
โ Every "revenge trade" after a loss โ lost again
โ My best setup was a simple one I only used 20% of the time
I didn't need a new indicator. I needed to stop doing the 2 things that were killing me.
Pro tip: Binance โ Orders โ Trade History โ Export. Your full history is one click away.
Do you journal your trades? Yes / No / "I should" ๐
