The Weekend Habit That Separates Pros From AmateursEuro/US DollarSAXO:EURUSDDavid_PerkHey whats up traders as it's Friday. it's time to remind an importance of Weekly Reviews and Journaling. This is your time and most important process in the consistent growth. Every weekend allow some time for yourself for not only reviewing the trades you took, but also you didn't took so you take them next time and put it all in to your journal. I was not doing this for years. Then when I started I finally identified the mistakes I repeat over and over and then I was able to eliminate them. And this is actually how I explored my strategy and found myself - by taking notes again and again. This is where you grow. If you learning some concept go step by step. Don't try to learn everything in a day or weekend. Our brain doesn't have capacity to it. There is a great book - Limitless - Jim Kwik (about brain and learning) hence I recommend doing notes with pen and paper. Your brain leans better this way than just doing a screenshot when watching a videos. ✅ Every weekend ask yourself these questions: 🧪 What worked well this week and what didn’t? - Was there a type of trade that did/didn’t work well? - Was there a particular market that I did/didn’t trade well? - Was there a particular day/time that I did/didn’t trade well? - Did I enter trades too soon? - Did I enter trades too late? - Did I take profits too soon? - Did I take profits too late? - Did I put my stops loss too tight? - Did I use an unnecessarily big stop loss? - Did I take take any trades with poor Risk:Reward ratio? - Did I risk too much? - Did I risk too little? - Did I deviate from my trading model? - Did I deviate from my plan? 🧪 Are there any recurring answers [positives or negatives? 📍For Positives: - How can I make sure I do more of this? 📍For Negatives: - What is the problem? - Why do I have this problem? - What is the solution? - How can I precent this from continue happening? 🧪What can I do to improve moving into next week? Example - Entries were mostly well timed after manipulation and confirmation. - Stop losses were generally placed correctly beyond structure. - Risk:Reward was mostly acceptable but could still improve by waiting for cleaner entries. 💊 Create a column in you journal for mistakes Every time you make some mistake or deviate from your plan writhe it there. Read this mistakes before every trading session. This is first step how you eliminate them. 🧠 Remember - No Journal - No success. Thats it. David Perk
