RuleactiveUpdated 2026-10-19

A lesson for every close

Every trade that closes gets at least one written lesson line, win or loss.

Every trade closed that day has one lesson line.

Why

A trade without a lesson is tuition paid for nothing. Even a clean trade that went exactly to plan teaches something: that the plan worked, and under what conditions. Lessons that keep coming back get promoted to rules.

Principle
Show the losses
This record is for the people reading it. That only works if the losses, mistakes, and broken rules are as visible as the wins.
Rule
The books match the broker
At the close, every position in the journal matches the broker, and nothing that's flat is still marked open.
