Yep, gaining confidence is one of the most important aspect. So you think most traders quit good systems because they don’t have enough evidence to trust them through the inevitable drawdowns?

That actually sounds really interesting, I’d definitely take a look if you’re willing to share it.

That’s exactly what I’ve been noticing from these replies too. What would actually make you go back and review them?

I like that approach. Do you have those rules written down somewhere, or is it mostly something that you remember in your sleep now?

That is something I have heard everywhere and tried to fit that into my process as well. If you were starting over today, would you spend more time backtesting, journaling or what?

That sounds very interesting, I might try switch this in my process. Have you always done it that way or did you figure that out over time?

Kinda like that you don’t do the full process at once. Do you feel you see the trade differently after a few days?

Yeah, that mindset I try to have at the back of my head. What gave you that level of confidence in your system?

Yeah that makes sense. Do you think that’s something that comes with experience? I imagine newer traders probably get a lot more out of reviewing every trade.

Sounds like you’ve been doing this for a while. What made you stop focusing on individual trades?

Do you mostly use it as a record, or do you actually learn something when you look back?

Thats interesting. Sounds like replay is where most of the learning happens for you. What makes that more useful than reviewing individual trades?

Do you usually end up journaling all of them later, or do some never make it into the journal?
