What format do you keep your journal?

But I am curious and very interested about your in-depth review of all your decisions after close...I talk to myself ALL the time and this method of yours probably is more in sync with my personality. As a matter of fact, I usually have the best conversations with myself ( :) -- borderline crazy?). would you mind shooting me a PM of the review process (questions, how you go about reinforcement, etc) if it is not too much trouble? If not too personal or lengthy, post it here.

Yes, I talk to myself (sub-vocalisation) at the end of the trading day... I get up my charts for all the trades I did and ask myself whether I had got in at the optimal time (even if I was stopped out)... I also ask myself if I juiced profits appropriately (basically, the review of entrys and exits is an assessment of whether things like fear and greed got in the way)... in addition to going over my own trades, I have a look at some of the other trades of the day that were good and that I didn't take... for me, the evening review process is a means of making sure my decision-making abilities are not slipping and is also a way of keeping in touch with bigger picture market issues, such as the daily charts of the indices, and awareness of any forthcoming events which may impact the market etc etc...
 
Hi DEM, when I tried your hyper-link I found:

Could you please repost?

Thanks

ALSO to all the other posts, thanks a lot for sharing your ideas as I'm building a journal format from all.
