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.

Alpha Capital Trade Journal for the week:
In Conclusion:
This was an interesting week for me. I was inches away from closing the week with good profits, and also have no losing trades, until the GU trade messed things up
That said, discipline and a good money management system saved me from the market’s wrath.
I closed the week with +1.6% ROI despite having a negative pip value. I did well in managing my trades and expectations, and I am looking forward to next week
