Hi.
A question to any traders out there (or indeed to active investors if it applies). Do you keep a log of your trades as you open them, and when you close them and if so, what method do you use? Do you use an A4 pad? Or an excel spreadsheet? Or something even more fancy?
I try to keep a log of any trades as I place them. For example, the reason behind the trade...what signal has occured to determine that I buy/sell. What are my stop levels if it doesn't work out? What is my target level, etc
And again when I close...did I make a loss or profit. What happened if I made a loss. Could I have avoided it. What can I learn.
Anyhow, just wondering if others do the same and what they use to do so.
Thanks all.
