📒 Trader’s Journal: Your Key to Consistency
Success in trading doesn’t start with perfect entries or secret indicators — it begins with consistency. That’s why every trader needs to keep a trading journal. It’s your mirror of the market, showing what really works and what doesn’t.
🖊️ Must-have fields in your trading journal:
📅 Date – when the trade happened.
💰 Pair/Asset – what you traded.
🔄 Type of trade – long, short, spot, futures, bot, etc.
📊 Market trend – BTC/ETH context, overall direction.
😨 Fear & Greed Index – market psychology.
📰 News/Context – macro events that influenced your decision.
🎯 Plan: entry, TP, SL, key levels.
💵 P&L ($) – profit/loss.
📈 R-multiple – risk-to-reward ratio.
💡 Emotions, mistakes, lessons – the most valuable insights.
✅ Win/Loss – trade outcome.
🔥 Why it matters?
A trading journal brings discipline, removes chaos, and helps spot patterns in your own behavior. It’s the ultimate self-control tool — without it, long-term survival in the market is almost impossible.
