📉 "I Kept Losing Until I Realized… 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? That’s 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-reflection—not just instincts.
Here’s How You Start Hunting With Purpose:
✔️ Make a Trade Plan Before Every Entry – Define your entry, stop loss, target, and reason for the trade.
✔️ Write Down Every Trade – Journal the setup, emotions, outcome, and what you learned.
✔️ Review Weekly – Spot patterns in your wins and losses.
✔️ Track Your Growth – You can’t improve what you don’t measure.
A Candlestick Example : Inside Bar Breakout
The Inside Bar shows market consolidation. Traders who plan wait for a breakout confirmation. Those who don’t? 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?
