We know that to improve one needs to follow and analyse one;s trade at the end of each day if not each week. But how to do that in a simple yet straight forward way and see all that went into the trade like the psychology, the trailing stops, the entries ...the targets..etc.. I have personally always struggle with that but now I have come up with a layout that makes sense. I have a small window on the right of my chart ( 1 min ) where I right all my comments down during the trade and at the end of the day I clean up the chart and save the image and print it out for reference. I have taken a screen shoot of my trading environement. I also take screen shoots with MWsnap 3 ( freeware) to take a picture each time I see something important and make a quick comment on the main chart then delete that comments once I have taken the image so that I dont cluter up the images . Granted it takes some time to arrange all this but the information you get in invaluable . I hope this will help some of you organize themself.
this is how I watch the market every day. 4 min in center..I like to keep that chart clean from clutter . lower left a 60 min on upper right a 1 min where I place my comments. and lower a 4 min close mainly for the trend. trying to keep it simple and clean. sincerely lovingemini hope it helps some people.
I often use Camtasia screen record to record my comments and the actual trade. I only place 4 or so trades a day that usually last between 1 minute and 10 minutes so the space used is not that bad.
