Your weekly review: what do you look at first, and what do you ignore?

A weekly review gives you a chance to see how your plan worked over several trades, not just one. Members use different checklists, from a few numbers to a full write-up of each trade. How to use an economic calendar can help you plan the week ahead before you review the one that has passed, so the two reviews feed each other.

A review that only lists wins and losses misses the reasons behind them. Members who get the most from it compare each trade with the plan written before it, and separate a decision that was wrong from an outcome that was unlucky. That split is harder than it sounds, and it is where most of the learning happens. A losing trade with a good plan is different from a winning trade with a poor one, and the review should say which is which.

We would like to hear your routine:

• What is the first number you check in a weekly review?
• Do you review wins and losses equally, or focus on one?
• Which part of the review has changed the most as you have gained experience?
• What do you ignore on purpose, and why?
