My reason for sharing my trade journal is to encourage traders to also keep one for two major reasons:
- Track your weekly trading performance.
- Build a better psychology, which will sharpen your trading intuition
Both can only be done when you keep a comprehensive journal, and review it every week.

Trade activity summary for the week (Account Details)
In conclusion:
This is the first time I am breaking my rules on not screen grabbing the trades I took.
Last week was a busy one for me, coupled with the fact that a good chunk of my trades were taken during the Asian session, so I had very little time to sleep or rest.
This made me throw screenshots and journaling out of the window, but this not to say I traded anything different. It was strictly support and resistance on the 15 minutes time frame, after ascertaining the trend on the daily and 4 hour time frame.
I closed the week with about 5.2% on most of my accounts.
Last week was all about smart trading, and focusing on the session (Asian session) where there were lesser news events. Looking forward to the week ahead
How did your trading week go?
