Thought I would share my journal template with those interested. It's still a work in progress and I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions.
Each day I capture the DAS Trades log and closed P/L. Also add a few notes about emotions, health, state of mind, etc.
Then for each trade (in/out), I log the detailed entry, stop, target, strategy, etc. There are additional comments where I jot down my thoughts and areas of improvement.
I have a summary sheet which contains a running total of all trades to date:
And from this I can graph an equity curve:
As well as calculate statistics things such as:
Average Risk/Reward by Strategy
Number of Trades by Strategy
Win Percentage
Etc, etc.
Here is the data presented graphically in another post.
I'm still learning in the simulator, so I haven't really found any use for the statistics yet. However, the data is there for when I am ready to analyze and review my performance quantitatively.
Let's see your journal templates!
