š "I Kept Losing Until I Realizedā¦ I Was Trading Without a Plan." This is what you need to know if you're new to trading :
"If You're Not Planning or Journaling Your Trades, You're Hunting Aimlessly."
Imagine walking into a forest with a blindfold on, hoping to catch your target. Sounds wild, right? Thatās exactly what trading without a plan or journal looks like.
Why Most Traders Stay Lost
Without a trading plan, you're just reacting. Without a journal, you're not learning. Winning consistently requires strategy, structure, and self-reflectionānot just instincts.
Hereās How You Start Hunting With Purpose:
āļø Make a Trade Plan Before Every Entry ā Define your entry, stop loss, target, and reason for the trade.
āļø Write Down Every Trade ā Journal the setup, emotions, outcome, and what you learned.
āļø Review Weekly ā Spot patterns in your wins and losses.
āļø Track Your Growth ā You canāt improve what you donāt measure.
A Candlestick Example : Inside Bar Breakout
The Inside Bar shows market consolidation. Traders who plan wait for a breakout confirmation. Those who donāt? They enter too early, guess wrong, and lose. Planning and journaling helps you spot these setups and learn how they behave.
Trade with purpose, not with emotion. Plan. Journal. Evolve.
Do you journal and reflect on your trades?
