Trader Tools

Introduction

A trading journal is one of the most effective tools for improving consistency and discipline. While many traders focus on strategies and indicators, few track their own behavior. Journaling trades helps identify strengths, weaknesses, and emotional patterns that influence performance.

Why Keep a Trading Journal?

  1. Tracks progress over time.
  2. Highlights recurring mistakes.
  3. Reinforces discipline and accountability.
  4. Provides data for refining strategies.
  5. Improves emotional control by reflecting on decisions.
