Track every trade with discipline. Review to improve. Repeat.
A trade log is the single most powerful tool for improving as a trader. It converts subjective experience into objective data, revealing patterns that would otherwise be invisible. Without a log, you rely on memory — which is systematically biased by recent events and emotional states. With a log, you have evidence.
The fields below are designed to capture what actually happened, not just what the P&L was. Focus especially on lessons learned — the entries that cost you money are usually the most instructive.

Pro tip: Review this log weekly. Look for patterns — are you losing on specific strategies? Do you consistently override your stops? Are certain days of the week or times of day correlated with better results? Patterns you can see, you can fix.
