- Your goal
- Cut losses sooner
What I see
Across 4 trades, the winners were closed on plan or early, while the losers were held with no exit rule. Your goal, "cut losses sooner", is the right one to work on.
Patterns
- Losses have no exit. The trades that went against you carry notes like "hoped" and "no stop", so the loss was decided by the market, not by you.
- Entries follow momentum. One entry came right after a large green candle; those tend to be bought near the local high.
- Profits are taken out of nerves. The earliest exit mentions feeling nervous, not reaching a level.
What is working
- The trade held to its target was the cleanest one in the set. The plan existed and you followed it.
- You wrote the reason down for most entries, which is what makes this review possible.
One rule for the next ten trades
Write the stop price in the note before you enter, and close the trade when it is hit. Track two numbers: how many of the ten stops you honoured, and your average loss compared with your average win. Review after ten.
