I started writing down every trade I take about 4 months ago. It helps me keep in top of my PnL across platforms + reminds me of what made me money as well as what lost me money.

Most importantly it reminds about the why - what about that particular trade caused me to be profitable or take a loss

One of my biggest weaknesses even during times like this is over trading.. and writing down all of the trades I’m taking really is a rude awakening.

This month alone I’ve taken 24 trades over the last 19 days. In the last 2 weeks I’ve only taken 5 trades. Most of my trades happened in the first week (19 in week 1).

That’s crazy. There’s no need to be taking that many trades even at the best of times during the raging bull market.

I really need to work on this.
