Post-session review: what do you do right after the session?
The hour after the session is when the day's trades become data — or fade into feeling. A fast review catches execution errors while they're fresh and feeds the weekly review with clean material.
What's your post-session routine?
- the checks you run on the day's trades
- how you record what you'll review later
- the review that saved you from repeating a mistake
The journal guide structures the recording.
Background: How to keep a trading journal that actually improves your trading
A journal turns a pile of trades into evidence. What to record, the numbers worth calculating and a weekly review routine that takes less than an hour.
What should a trading journal include?
For each trade: the pair, direction, size, entry, stop, target, risk, the reason for the trade, how you felt, the result in money and in R, whether you followed your plan, and chart screenshots.
How do I calculate expectancy?
Multiply your win rate by your average win, then subtract your loss rate multiplied by your average loss. Measured in R, a positive result means the approach has made money per trade on average.
