📘 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
