Successful traders record every trade and journal their entire journey. Most traders ignore the psychological side, thinking it's all technical. Reviewing past entries helps you learn from mistakes and execute better with real money.
that's what's going to propel you forward as a trader. So I always tell people, however long it takes someone to build their own model, what you guys should have is data. Whether you recorded yourself doing it, whether you journaled, have that data because it'll make it so much easier to actually take the trade when you present it with live capital. And I think people overlook the psychology, especially when you're coming in, they think it's all technical, I need to find an amazing strategy, but it's the data that you built finding that strategy. Journal your trades, journal your whole entire journey as well, and use those previous experiences that you're gonna have some hardships. Use those previous experiences to back from whatever position you're in right now and kind of keep going forward from there.
