How to journal trades
A trading journal only works if you keep it, and you only keep it if it is short, honest, and reviewed. Here is a workflow that takes about ten minutes a session and actually changes how you trade.
How to review trades
A trade review answers three separate questions: was the setup valid, did you execute the plan, and what was going on in your head? Most traders blur them into one P&L-shaped feeling. Here is how to keep them apart.
How to track a trading plan
A trading plan you do not track is a wish. Tracking means comparing what you actually did against what the plan said — trade by trade — and catching the drift while it is still cheap.
How to improve trading discipline
Discipline problems are rarely knowledge problems — you already know you should not revenge trade. What is missing is a system that catches the behavior early, measures it honestly, and fixes one leak at a time.
How to stop revenge trading
Revenge trading is the urge to win a loss back right now — bigger size, no plan, the next trade taken out of anger instead of edge. It is rarely a strategy problem. It is a behavior problem, and behavior is something you can build rules around.
How to stop overtrading
Overtrading is taking trades you would not take if you were being honest — low-quality setups, boredom trades, the need to be doing something. It is not impatience to fix with willpower; it is a volume problem you can cap with rules.
How to stop cutting winners early
Snatching a small profit while holding losers in hope is the most common way good entries turn into a losing account. It has a name — the disposition effect — and it is a wiring problem you fix with rules, not resolve.
