Option Trading Journal
Janet | Mar 17, 2010 | Comments 0
I’ve been trading now for 6 months so yesterday I decided to go back through all my trading paperwork (which I do diligently by the way) and journal my thoughts, decisions, strategies, etc. It was a very interesting experience which I found very valuable. I also added a couple of statistics to my trading worksheet. I added a open and close stock price on all my executed trades and the spread between stock price and position. I also took notes on when I placed my trades throughout the trading month and %age return. And I made note of Thursday close value, Friday settlement value and the amount of the gap up or down. I plan on continuing the process of journaling and I recommend it to any new traders.
