Keeping a detailed trading journal isn't just paperwork—it's your competitive edge. Every win, every loss, every mistake becomes a permanent record you can learn from. This prevents you from falling into the same traps twice. That's precisely what makes a structured journal tool valuable: it transforms scattered trades into actionable insights. When you document your decisions systematically, patterns emerge. You spot what works and what doesn't. Your trading instincts sharpen. Having the right tool to capture these moments matters more than most realize.

To be honest, I've given up on keeping a trading log a long time ago, it's too troublesome... But after reading this article, I do feel a bit regretful.

Trading logs, to put it simply, are about challenging yourself. Only through repeated review can you make money.

To be honest, I used to be dismissive about keeping a trading log, but after losing so much that I doubted my life, I started taking it seriously... It really helps.
