Guide
Trading journal examples should show the decision, not just the result.
Good examples make the structure obvious: setup, thesis, risk, execution, mistake, screenshot context, and one lesson that survives the session.
Example trade entry
Example mistake note
Example daily review
Example weekly pattern
Example: mistake trade
Setup: none. Thesis: chasing move after missed entry. Risk: oversized. Result: -1R. Lesson: add checklist lockout after two missed trades.
Example: end-of-day review
Best decision, worst decision, repeated behavior, and one rule for tomorrow. This keeps the diary useful without turning it into a novel.
Example: weekly pattern
Three early exits appeared in winning NQ trades. The next test is a partial exit rule instead of full close at first hesitation.
Common questions
What does a good trading journal example include?
It includes setup, thesis, entry, stop, target, risk, result, rule adherence, mistake tag, screenshot context, and a lesson.
Should journal examples include losing trades?
Yes. Losing trades often teach more about process quality, risk control, and whether the trade belonged in the playbook.
