Step 1: Was the setup valid?
Compare the trade to the playbook. A profitable off-plan trade is still a warning if it trains the wrong behavior.
Guide
Review trades step by step so the next decision improves.
A trade review should not be a vague feeling about profit and loss. It should walk through setup, risk, execution, exit, mistake, and correction.
Check the setup
Check risk and invalidation
Check execution and exit
Write one correction
Step 2: Was risk defined?
Check stop, size, daily loss limit, and whether the invalidation was clear before the trade began.
Step 3: Was the exit consistent?
Use the planned target, MAE/MFE, and exit note to see whether the trade was managed by rules or emotion.
Step 4: What changes next?
End with one action: checklist line, playbook edit, risk limit, or a rule for when not to trade.
Common questions
What is the best way to review trades?
Review trades in the same order every time: setup, risk, execution, exit, mistake, and one correction. Consistency makes patterns visible.
How long should a trade review take?
A simple trade review can take a few minutes. The deeper weekly review should group trades by setup, mistake, session, and exit quality.
