I’ve been writing my trades in a journal since 2017 using this software called Edgewonk. It’s a software that accomplishes what can probably be done by someone who’s really good with Excel, but with a nicer UI and and some cool functionality. Not only do I record the parameters of the trade (entry, stop, take profit, size, date, gain/loss), but I can also record the reasons for putting it on, what asset class or market I’m trading in, what was my state of mind at the time, and perform a pre-mortem of common trading mistakes I’m making as I enter the trade and a post-mortem of mistakes after I exit.
Love the the drop down menu - what do you use for journaling? May I have access to your journaling template/spreadsheet, please :)
