I label every transaction
If you start labeling every transaction from today, your account will begin to become "analyzable".
Examples of labels I often use:
Signal source: trend breakthrough / range oscillation / news-driven / sentiment trades
Direction: with the trend / against the trend
Mindset: within plan / spontaneous
Result: normal stop loss / early stop loss / take profit / turn a loss into a profit
Statistics once a month:
Which type of signal has the highest win rate?
Which type of trades always lag behind?
What percentage of trades are sentiment trades?
You will find that:
What really destroys you is often a few “junk labels”; as long as you delete them, your overall performance will immediately improve.
