It should reveal which behavior and market conditions produce repeatable results.<\/p>\n<h2>What to Record<\/h2>\n<p>Record instrument, session, setup, direction, entry, stop, target, risk, result, spread, and screenshots. Add the market regime and whether every rule was followed.<\/p>\n<p>Use tags for strategy and mistake type. Consistent tags make it possible to compare performance across enough samples.<\/p>\n<h2>Weekly Review<\/h2>\n<p>Separate strategy expectancy from execution discipline. Calculate win rate, average win, average loss, profit factor, maximum losing streak, and rule adherence.<\/p>\n<p>Choose one behavior to improve during the next week.
