What is journaling and why should I complete the questionnaire for each trade?

Journaling adds reflection and context to your raw trade data.

When you open a trade for journaling, you complete a structured questionnaire that records your:

  • Emotions
  • Strategy
  • Confluence factors
  • Risk management decisions

You are not required to fill out the questionnaire — it is completely optional.

However, completing it is highly beneficial, because it helps you understand
the psychological and strategic factors behind your decisions and reveals
patterns that aren’t visible in the charts or statistics alone.
