📓 규율만 잘 지키면 트레이딩 일지는 필요 없다?

Yeah I don’t journal anymore either besides the basics. When I was starting out it was super helpful to journal specifics of the session, but like you said, at a certain point it wasn’t all that helpful when I stopped letting my system become so subjective and went the more objective route.

I think the term journaling leads people to believe that they need to have a "dear diary" session. I don't really do that. But I think what everyone should be doing is keeping a database of annotated charts every day. This is how you track changes in market behavior and create new strategies over time.

I just backtest my strategy with other stocks if scenarios come up in my mind; I don’t see the need to write it down

Never journaled.

Wow nice hot take , I stopped journaling ,my losses and wins more in my head . But I do think it’s very important tool for beginners, they need to know where their messing up or figuring out a strategy. Or what days they are trading bad . Fridays are my worst trading days , I found out through keeping my stats . But I do think after thousands of trades, it’s not necessary. But think people need to figure out what works best for them . It’s a process through trial and error. Great hot take . Sometimes on this sub some traders get all high and mighty and their way is the all be all . Like people swear on tape and time and sales, all that did was make me lose focus on price action , but a of traders are successful with this tool , it’s just not for me on how I view the market .

Agreed except for I don't know if you're a superhuman but I have never been able to maintain that level of discipline high discipline required to successfully eliminate and need for journaling or tracking my trades.

Everyone’s different

disagree. discipline without data is just blind consistency

journaling isnt about discipline its about finding patterns you cant see in real time. like i thought i was disciplined but journal showed i overtrade every friay trying to end week green

discipline exeutes the plan. journal shws if the plan actually works...

You do you. Telling other people not to do it is weird though.

how do you improve without reviewing your trades?

Journaling to me just means essentially walking back through your trades afterwards to see what *actually* happened and what you actually did, which is often quite different from what you may have thought/felt in the moment. Typing it all out helps solidify the experience.

I can’t tell you how many times trades seemed very different after walking back through them vs how it seemed while doing it. Whether it was how I perceived what was happening on the chart or how much I thought/felt I was following rules, etc. If I didn’t journal, I would have a very wrong idea about how and what I’m actually doing, and could easily be deceiving myself without realizing.

I’ve been trading live for 6.5 years now and still find journaling critical, as much as it sucks having to do it. The longer you trade the more you realize trading isn’t as much about strategy as it is about executional consistency, and the only way to keep track of that is to journal in some form, IMO.
