My reason for keeping a journal is to encourage traders to also keep one for two major reasons:
- Track weekly trading performance.
- have enough data, in order to be able to work on their trading technique and psychology
Both can only be done when you keep a comprehensive journal, and review it every week.

In conclusion:
We are up by +1.2% in the first week of the new month. I had just one bad trade, and it could have been a positive trade if I had not closed it manually (but that’s what happens when you stick to your trading rules. Sometimes you lose trades)
So far I can’t complain in the new week/month. Hopefully we are able to maintain this momentum till the end of the year
