New here - wondering about journal depth for beginners
Hey everyone, just joined. Been trying to get serious about my trading and I keep hearing how crucial a journal is. I've started one, logging entry/exit, profit/loss, and a quick note on why I took the trade. But sometimes I feel like I'm either overthinking it or not going deep enough. For those who've been around a while, what's a good level of detail for someone just starting out? Should I be including my emotional state, market sentiment at the time, or is that too much info to track initially?

Starting with entry/exit, P/L, and a reason for the trade is a solid foundation. As you gain experience, you'll naturally find other data points, like emotional state or market context, that become relevant for your specific style and you can add those incrementally.
