New here - wondering about journal depth for less active traders

asked by u/zeynep_s · 8d · 1 answers

Hey everyone, just joined. Been dabbling for a bit, mostly longer-term swings, maybe a few trades a month. I've heard a lot about trade journaling and understand the benefits for learning, but for those of us not executing daily, what level of detail do you find most valuable? Sometimes I feel like I'm overthinking the journal aspect when my trade frequency is pretty low. Or am I just not seeing the bigger picture there?

    That's a great point. For less frequent traders, perhaps focusing on the higher-level decision-making process before the trade and the outcome/lessons learned after, rather than minute-by-minute execution details, would be more beneficial. What kind of metrics do you currently track?
