I also have a column for comments. But I also have many fields for why I entered the trade, candlestick patterns, moving average crosses, MACD direction, ADX, RSI crosses and direction, Stochastics overbought or oversold, etc. I am ready to trash this log because it has too much info and it would take me 15 minutes to fill out one trade and I think its way to complicated. I am just curious what other peoples log's contain and if it seems effective for you.

I use a simple database with the basics: currency pair, entry, exit, reasons for entering the trade, post trade comments, and a screen shot. I print each trade out and insert them in a 3 ring binder for easy review each week. The database also allows me to print a weekly analysis of all my trading activity.
