Does anybody keep a written trade journal?

I need more work on this one.

What do the different colors mean?

I actually just bought one to see what it was all about. I have my journal here that I write on. Entries, SL, outcome of win or loss. I’ll write about anytime I check-in or change a SL.

In the start I did a lot of revenge trading, but I think I’m better at that now, so that reflection like what @Mondeoman mentioned above.

Maybe I could put more market analysis in there, but I mainly trade technical and just look at the calendar and DXY to see what the dollar is doing.

Journaling is work!

This journal is pretty cool. There’s a weekly and monthly review for 3 months and then like 70 single pages for individual trades. there’s also a place to write out your trading plan, strategy for SL and TP, and specifics about entering and exiting a trade. Like what needs to be happening.

I’ll see if writing makes it any more easier or difficult than just keeping the “journal” I have now.

Anybody care to share their Google sheet or excel sheet? Always interest to see what others use. There’s a couple here already.
