A daily trade log is essential. I suggest you enter the following :
1) reasons for opening the position (setup, variables, etc..)
2) time
3) your protective stop loss in $$$ (very critical)
and target if you have one
4) reasons for exiting
5) trade P/L in $$$ (compare this with your stop loss)
6) if you obeyed your entry/exit rules
7) daily P/L and comments about your performance
