Description *

Description (What happened?) Keep it factual. Don’t judge yet. What was the setup? (e.g., Breakout, Mean Reversion) What was the entry and exit price? Did you follow your plan, or did you deviate?

Feelings *

Be honest about your psychology during the trade. How did you feel when you entered? (Confident, anxious, bored?) How did you feel while the trade was open? How do you feel now that it’s closed?

Evaluation

Evaluation (What was good/bad?) Focus on the process, not the P/L. The Good: Did you manage risk well? Was your entry clean? The Bad: Did you hesitate? Did you move your stop-loss?

Analysis Action

Analysis *

Connect the dots between your feelings and the outcome. If you took a “FOMO” trade, why? (e.g., “I saw everyone on Twitter talking about it.”) If you exited too early, what triggered that fear?

Conclusion

What is the lesson here? “I should have waited for the 5-minute candle to close.” “I realized my position size was too big, which made me nervous.”

Action Plan *

Action Plan (What will you do next time?) One concrete rule to implement tomorrow. Next time this setup appears.
