Journal Fields

Fatigue, FOMO, revenge trading, boredom, overconfidence, and whether a break is needed.
Rule audit.
Entry reason, exit reason, stop movement, scaling, hesitation, and rule breaks.
After-action note.
What was controlled, what was not, what repeated, and what changes tomorrow?
Process score.
Grade the trade by preparation, execution, risk control, patience, and review quality, not only P&L.
