Why Keep a Trading Journal?
A trading journal is the single most effective tool for improving as a trader. It forces you to review every trade objectively, identify recurring mistakes, and spot what's actually working.
Track your entry reasons, exit points, and emotional state. Over time, patterns emerge — which sessions are most profitable, which pairs suit your style, and what your true win rate and R:R look like versus what you think they are.
A journal only helps if the numbers are honest. We publish ours, every trade, on the live forward test.
We test strategies the hard way and publish every result. Get an email when one passes our gates.
