Journaling your trades is a game-changer—it helps you track your wins, spot what worked, and avoid repeating mistakes. By looking back, you can copy your best moves and learn from losses. Plus, it keeps you honest and sharp for future trades.

Trading platforms even help you with journalling, MT5 & TradingView have the "trade history" feature which marks every trade you took on the charts. With trade history, you can simply review the charts and see all your entry and exits marked out, then you can take a screenshot and use in your journalling.

Journalling is a good habit that is fast losing its popularity because traders of today just want the profits. I do journalling everytime i trade and save an electronic format

Glad I took your advice on journalling, I have been recording my trades on my facebook page posting screenshots etc. and i an go back anytime to do a review. Especially as metatrader and tradingview charts dont let you see past data up to 3 months or so, jornalling helped me see trades I made long ago

Journaling is another important aspect of trading that guarantees profitability. It helps you know what to do properly in your next trade and what to avoid also. The importance of journaling cannot be over emphasized.

journaling is very helpful. It lets you see what worked and what didn’t in your past trades, so you can improve next time.

Some people think journaling only means using pen and paper to write, but even taking and saving screenshots of your chart is still journaling. This is why developers of trading software made it possible to save images of charts

if you can't afford a paid TradingView subscription which will let you access a larger archive of historical charts, then you better journal each day. By doing this, you can access screenshots of charts from years ago, without having to pay TradingView for it

Journaling doesn't have to mean only writing everything down with a pen and paper.

Saving screenshots of your charts is still a practical way to keep a record of what the market looked like at that moment the price action, indicators, and your setup.

Many trading platforms added the screenshot feature exactly for this reason: to make it easier for traders to document their trades without needing to write long notes every time.

At the end of the day, the goal of journaling is to help you review your decisions and learn from them, whether you're using a notebook, a spreadsheet, or saved chart images.

What matters most is that you actually go back and review what you saved.

If you can't afford a paid TradingView plan, taking daily screenshots or keeping a simple trading journal with chart images is a good free workaround.

Over time, you'll build your own personal archive of historical charts that you can easily go back to whenever you need.

It takes a bit of discipline to do it consistently, but it saves money and can actually help you stay more aware of how the markets looked on those specific days.
