New here, quick question about journaling for improvement

asked by u/elena_schneider · 24d · 1 answers

Hey everyone, just joined. Been trading for a little while now, mostly dabbling with $SPX options and some $TSLA swings. I'm trying to get more disciplined and everyone talks about journaling. I've been doing it, logging entries/exits and a brief 'why', but I'm not sure I'm getting the most out of it. What's the key thing you look for when reviewing your past trades in a journal to actually improve, beyond just seeing if you made or lost money?

    For me, the key is identifying recurring patterns in my decision-making, both good and bad, especially under different market conditions. Looking for emotional responses to volatility is also crucial.
