Video Description:
💭 A lot of new traders neglect keeping a trading journal... big mistake! In this video I show my trading journal and teach you how to use it to become a more successful day trader. Keeping a trading journal is one of the best things I ever did to improve my psychology and profitability.

This journal works whether you trade futures, forex, stocks, commodities - ANYTHING. Just make sure you actually go make a journal after watching this video eh ;)

📉 Risk Disclosure: Futures trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardising ones financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.

It's true that if we write it on our own rather than typing in a computer, the words are engraved in our mind for a long time. We'll recall and won't repeat mistakes if any.

I completely agree about writing it out by hand in a physical journal. There's a certain power that writing things down has. Your brain is actually creating the words by moving your hand in the shape of the letters, rather than just pushing some buttons to type. It stays with you when you write it out by hand.

Talking about your bad days is quite refreshing and something you don’t see too much of, good on you for sharing that(or perhaps you don’t have many up days 😂😂…only teasing mate).
I fully agree with hand written notes, I thought it was because I was old school and just liked good quality paper note books and journals and seem to etch things on my brain better by writing….. it’s great to see others(especially the younger generations) thinking the same..!👍👍

I really needed this, it has helped me understand exactly what I should put in my physical journal, why, and when to use the digital one. I already appreciated the advice on journalling but I was all mixed up on whether to digitize or go physical. The sample you provided of one of your entries was indeed very helpful

When you said you were going to read from your worst day and I heard, "Monday..." I immediately thought, "Yep, had to be a tough one."

Hey bro thanks for the video, any links for a decent journal ?

[michaelnorris]

Great video thanks!
How do you record past price history of the Markets, the week in review? Ex. Price History, High's Lows etc..? ICT says he is a number's guy and records all important prices on paper.

[realnaldofx]

Thank you for this! i’ve just bought a small book to start journaling…do i need a thick book? or a thin book would be enough?

[paulkennedy]

Great Video - good insights. Thank you. Paul

[abhinavravindran]

Very insightful. How do you catch thoughts on charts in the physical journal?

[mredwardbaez]

I do not understand why this is important?
