By CapitalKeeper | Beginner’s Guide | Indian Sock Market | Market Moves That Matter I 3rd July 2025

📘 Week 4 – Day 5: The Power of Trade Review & Continuous Improvement

🎯 Objective:

Learn how to analyze your trades post-execution, build a feedback loop, and refine strategies for long-term trading success.

🧠 Why Trade Review Is Essential?

Trading without review is like playing a match without watching the replay.

📌 Post-trade analysis bridges the gap between strategy and performance.

Spot recurring mistakes
Optimize entries/exits
Understand your trading psychology
Improve reward-to-risk ratios

📒 How to Journal Trades Properly

Use a structured format like the one below to track each trade:

Metric	Description
Date & Time	Trade execution time
Script	Stock / Index / Commodity
Direction	Long / Short
Entry Price	Actual price you entered
Exit Price	Price at which you exited
Stop Loss	Defined stop loss
Target	Intended price target
RRR (Risk:Reward)	Calculate before trade
Indicators Used	RSI / MACD / Price Action / Volume
Setup Type	Breakout / Pullback / Trend-following etc.
Result	Profit / Loss
Emotion	Calm / Greedy / Fearful
Lesson Learned	Summary of what to repeat or avoid

🧰 Tools to Use

Excel / Google Sheets – Custom journal
TradingView Notes – For snapshotting charts
Dedicated Apps – TraderSync, Edgewonk, TradeZella

📊 Key Metrics to Track Weekly

Metric	Why It Matters
Win %	Check consistency of strategy
Average R	Tracks risk-adjusted returns
Profit Factor	Total gains ÷ total losses
Max Drawdown	Control risk exposure
Best/Worst Setup	Focus on high-performing patterns

💡 Sample Insight You Might Find

“Most of my losing trades come from early entries without volume confirmation.”

“Breakout setups with RSI + MACD confluence have 70% success rate.”

Such insights help fine-tune your approach — making you a systematic trader, not a hopeful guesser.

🔁 Building Your Feedback Loop

Every weekend, spend 1 hour on:

Reviewing trade journal
Marking best/worst trades
Writing 1 key lesson of the week
Planning setups for the upcoming week

🎯 Continuous Improvement Model

Plan ➝ Execute ➝ Review ➝ Refine ➝ Repeat

Phase	Action
Plan	Define setups, levels, indicators
Execute	Trade as per rules, avoid impulses
Review	Analyze what worked and what didn’t
Refine	Tweak your entries, exits, SL strategy
Repeat	Apply what you learned next week

📝 Weekly Review Template (Example):

✔️ Trades Taken: 12
✔️ Win Rate: 66.7%
✔️ Avg Risk:Reward: 1:2.3
✔️ Top Setup: RSI + MACD Confluence Pullback
❌ Mistake: Entered 3 trades without price action confirmation
💡 Next Week Focus: Patience and entry near breakout zone only
