What does discipline actually look like day to day?
Discipline is usually discussed as a character trait, but it's built from small daily decisions: the same prep, the same size, the same review. The mundane version is the real one.
Describe yours:
- the small routines you never skip
- where your discipline most often slips
- how you rebuilt it after a lapse
The journal guide is discipline made visible.
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.
