i was just mentioning in another post i made about the importance of keeping notes when you trade !
how many of you do ?
i dont mean on scrappy bits of paper, i mean in an A4 diary type of thing
this is one of the best things i ever did for my trading and i would recomend it to anybody whether you are a new trader or not
why ?
well for a start it will stop you over trading, if you cant take the time ( except steroidal bruce lee type scalpers) to write down all your trades then thats a sign of something !
and its a great way to learn from all your mistakes and successes !
i write down every trade (and i mean every) i also keep a seperate diary in which i record my emotions when i am trading.
then at the end of each day i recap both, what can i do better what did i do well, i can then give myself pointers for the next day to improve my trading
if you want to be a succesful trader this ( in my opinion) is one step you cannot miss out.
this will give you an edge oiver the other side of your trade who didnt bother
cheers
