Journaling

A trade journal you will actually keep

Most journals fail because they ask for too much. Action Journal keeps the entry short: a few notes, a strategy label, how you felt, and a rating. Enough to remember the decision, quick enough to do while the trade is still fresh.

One entry per trade

Notes, strategy, emotion and a 1 to 5 rating, attached to the trade that came in from MT5.

A calendar that shows the month

See daily profit and loss across the month, then open a day to review the trades behind it.

Screenshots on Plus

Attach a chart image to the entry so the setup is still there when you review it later.

What to record after a trade

What you saw: the setup, level or condition that made the trade worth taking.
What you did: entry, exit, size, and whether you followed your plan.
How you felt: the emotion attached to the decision, not the result.
What you would repeat or avoid next time.
A rating from 1 to 5 for the quality of the decision, separate from whether it won.

A winning trade can be a bad decision, and a losing trade can be a good one. The rating is there to keep that distinction visible.

From calendar to lesson

The journal opens on a trading calendar with daily profit and loss for the month. Pick a day to see the trades closed in it, then open a trade to add or edit its entry. The calendar makes consistency visible: streaks of green, clusters of red, and the days you skipped.

Short notes beat long essays

The notes field is deliberately short. A sentence or two written while the trade is fresh is worth more than a long entry you never get around to. If you want a deeper review, write it in your weekly summary rather than in every trade.

A weekly review that takes ten minutes

Open the analytics overview and note the week net result, win rate and profit factor.
Sort by instrument and session. Circle the one place the account did best and the one place it did worst.
Read the journal entries for the three largest winners and the three largest losers.
Write one sentence: what will you repeat next week, and what will you stop?
