Trading strategies

Trading strategies, and how to review them

Everyone can see the setup; the edge is in taking the clean ones and reviewing the rest. These guides pair each strategy with how to journal and score it.

Breakout Trading: How to Journal and Review It

Breakouts reward patience and punish chasing. The edge is not the pattern — it is whether you took the clean ones and left the rest. That is a review problem, and review is fixable.

Mean Reversion Trading: What to Track in Your Journal

Mean reversion fades the stretch and bets on the snap back. Done with rules, it is an edge; done on a hunch, it is catching knives. The journal is how you tell which one you are doing.

Trend Following Trading: What to Log and Review

Trend following makes its money from a few big winners you have to actually hold. The strategy is simple; sitting in the trade is not. The journal is where you find out if you do.
