Re-reading the question I think the person meant how do other people document their trades? And I am curious about this as well .. not just Jo & Tess but anyone who wants to answer ..
do you just keep track of winners/losers on an excel spreadsheet with minimum notes?
or do you write extensive notes, and if so, on each trade or only really bad losers or particularly good winners?
do you make notes as you go, or spend time end of day to go over the days's trades and write out your criqitues (or praise)?
and how do you use these notes once written? how often do you go back and re-read them?
that sort of thing..
and also .. how useful to you think this documentation is to your trading success .. have you noticed a correlation between well-documented trades and future success trading that pair?

Thanks in advance for any input
