What's your weekly planning routine?
Sunday's half-hour shapes the week: the calendar's big events, the levels that matter, the pairs in focus, the risk budget. Traders with a weekly plan trade fewer impulsive days.
Describe yours:
- what you review from last week
- what you set for the week ahead
- how the plan survives contact with Monday
The calendar is the backbone; the journal guide supplies last week's data.
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.
