What really opens the gap is the 'Review Habit'
Many people feel that they lack 'talent', but most of the problems I see are not about talent, but about —
not reviewing.
My own review template is very simple; you can copy it directly:
What trades did I make today?
Currency / Direction / Opening Reason / Stop Loss Position / Actual Result
Especially note: Was this reason clearly written at the time, or was it only 'supplemented' afterwards?
What type of loss order is it?
Normal strategy loss (acceptable)
Emotional order: chasing up, betting on news, adding to a losing position
Execution problem: not stopping loss when it should, not taking profit when it should
What would happen if all emotional orders were deleted?
Many people's 'crash points' are actually concentrated in just a few emotional outbursts.
Write a suggestion for improvement to 'tomorrow's self'
Don’t write grand theories, just one key point, for example:
'Tomorrow I can only act on the varieties for which I have planned in advance.'
If you persist for 1–3 months, you will find:
Your strategy may not have changed much, but the 'person executing it' is no longer the same you.
