TRADE REVIEW

Trade Review — Weekly Breakdowns That Keep You Honest

Screen time isn't the same as experience. Ten years of unreviewed trading is one year repeated ten times. The review is where trades actually turn into skill.

Review the reasoning, not the result

A winning trade taken for the wrong reason is a bad trade that got lucky; a losing trade taken correctly is a good trade. Judge each entry by whether the process was right — the results follow a good process over a large sample, not any single trade.

What to log

For every trade: the setup, the session, the thesis, the invalidation, and the outcome with its R-multiple. Over weeks, patterns emerge — which setups, hours, and conditions actually pay you, and which ones you keep forcing out of boredom.

Publish the losers too

We show losing trades in every review on purpose. Hiding them is how gurus build fake confidence and how you avoid learning. The losers, reviewed honestly, teach faster than the winners.

Make it weekly

A weekly breakdown of your real setups — worked and didn't — with the reasoning kept honest is the highest-leverage hour in your trading week. It's how a repeatable method becomes yours instead of something you watched someone else do.

Should I keep a trading journal?
Yes — logging the setup, session, thesis, invalidation and outcome for every trade is the fastest way to turn screen time into a repeatable edge.
