Trade Journaling - What matters for review?
Been trying to get serious with journaling my trades, but I feel like I'm either over-documenting or missing key details. Right now I've got entry, exit, size, market conditions, and a quick blurb on my rationale. When you guys review your own journals, what specific metrics or notes do you find most impactful for identifying patterns or improving decision-making?

Honestly, the 'quick blurb on rationale' is the most important part you mentioned. Without understanding your mindset pre-trade, the rest is just numbers. What specifically were you thinking, what was your conviction level, and what were your specific targets and stops? That's where you find the real patterns.
