What is a trading journal and why do traders keep one?
A trading journal is a record of every trade, including entry and exit points, position size, and the reasoning behind each decision. Traders keep one to review performance, spot patterns in wins and losses, and refine their strategy by learning from past trades rather than memory alone.
What should you record in a trading journal for each trade?
Log the date, instrument, entry and exit prices, position size, stop-loss and target, the setup or reason for entering, and the outcome. Adding notes on emotions and market conditions helps you see what influenced decisions, making it easier to repeat strengths and correct recurring mistakes.
How does keeping a trading journal improve trading performance?
Reviewing a journal reveals which strategies and conditions produce profits and which lead to losses. By tracking patterns over time, traders can cut emotional or impulsive trades, tighten risk management, and double down on proven setups. Consistent review turns raw experience into measurable, repeatable improvement.
