LESSON 11 ~9 MIN · AT YOUR OWN PACE
Plan, emotion and Journal
The plan before a trade and the review after it.
STEP 4 OF 4
How do you review your results?
Do not pick only the winners. Look at all your practice records in one place. Look for whether you followed the plan, what the result is including fees, and which mistake keeps repeating.
AN EXAMPLE
In five practice trades, 3 are wins, but the two losses are big. Do not say “the strategy is good” by looking at the win count alone.
RememberIf the sample is small, keep your conclusion small. A review is for learning, not for looking for guarantees.
