Hi i just wanted to know how people review they're trades they make each day?
i guess most people have a plan of action for each day of when they will buy/sell or think about entering.
but how do you record your results and stats? what info do you think is essential in your results in helping you analyse your trades and finding out what is and isnt working?
obviously some people use ma's and fibs etc...so i guess they would need to record where price was in relation to these before and after they entered a trade/took profits/took losses.
so far i have come up with a table the comprises of:
pair
time
buy/sell
sl size
tp size
reason for entry (but this box can become large and contain alot of text so im unsure how to scale it down into something more readable and something that i can analyse better)
drawdown
exit
reason for exit
im not sure what else i need to be able to look back at a week/month/years trading and say this was working or this wasnt working...
any suggestions for what you guys use would be more than welcome...
thanks
