Choose a small vocabulary
Use stable labels such as FOMO, early exit, oversizing, revenge trade, and off-plan entry. Too many tags create noise.
Guide
Repeated mistakes hide in plain sight until you group them.
The mistake that matters is rarely the loudest one. It is the one that survives enough sessions to become expensive.
Tag mistakes consistently
Review by setup and session
Look for behavior clusters
Convert patterns into controls
Count by context
A mistake that only appears in one setup or after a losing streak often needs a different fix than a general discipline issue.
Write one countermeasure
Every repeated mistake should end as a rule, checklist line, or environment change.
Practice · Weekly review
Your trades are logged. What will you check next week?
Copy the template into your notes and fill it in using trades from a chosen period. Include every eligible trade—even examples that contradict your explanation.
- Period and group
- Dates: __. Setup or session: __. Total eligible trades: __.
- One question
- Which decision do I want to examine? __
- Plan and action
- Before entry I recorded: __. I actually did: __. If there was no written plan, say so.
- Recurrence
- This happened in __ of __ eligible trades. Example dates or links: __.
- Counterexample
- When did I act differently in a similar context? __. What else differed? __.
- Unknowns
- What context is missing? __. Could the explanation depend on the setup, session, or market? __.
- Next action
- When __ happens, I will record or check __.
- Next review
- Date: __. I will check whether I followed the action and review these new examples: __.
One trade is not yet a pattern. Several similar examples do not establish the cause of an outcome. With a small sample, leave the conclusion open and specify what to observe next.

Illustrative wording, not a customer result: “The next time I depart from my written exit plan, I will record the reason and information available at that moment. At the next review, I will compare the decision with the plan.” You can check whether you did this; “be more disciplined” is too vague.
