Record on every trade.
- Date, session, instrument and direction.
- Setup name — keep a short fixed list.
- Entry, stop, target and planned risk in dollars.
- Result in R (multiples of risk), not just dollars.
- One line on your state: rushed, calm, revenge, bored.
Metrics worth tracking.
- Win rate and average R per setup.
- Expectancy = (win rate × avg win) − (loss rate × avg loss).
- Largest daily loss versus your daily limit.
- Results by session and by day of week.
The weekly review.
Once a week, sort trades by setup. Drop the setup with negative expectancy, keep the best one, and write one rule for next week. Small, specific changes beat big resolutions.
