Do You Journal or Record Your Trades?

[moonchild]

I have been in a lot of trading circles and traders complain all the time about journaling, some say it is hard and offer no value and some complain that they've tried it but it didn't solve their trading problems, what are the best ways to approach this, do you think journaling or recording trades can improve one's trading?

Yes, but they have to be intentional about the whole thing, it's like growing your muscles, even if you go to the gym everyday, if your training is not targeted to certain muscles you might end up wasting your time.

So before you start journaling, what do you want to achieve with that and then you go from there and target that's exactly instead of just journaling because a forex guru told you so.

When I was new to forex, I kept a trading journal. Thanks to this, I gradually corrected my mistakes and the mistakes of my trading strategy, which helped improve my trading analysis and make the strategy more profitable.
