Hi, does anybody have/use a simple database to track their trades?
I was about to start creating one to track:
-date
-time of day
-currency pair
-open
-close
-position of price relative to certain indicators(MA's, Trendlines, etc.)
-wins
-losses
-type of trade(I'm settling in on 10 or so specific trades I like
-pictures of trade(before and after shots)
-general info/thoughts on the trade
I spend 8-10 hours trading on top of my 9-5 job, after a few years I have learnt alot of what doesn't work, and am settling in on some profitible strategies I'm comfortable with. I prefer to trade many pairs at once but it leaves me a bit confused as to what exactly is working great and what could use some work.
Every month it would be very nice to get statistics on my trading on all of the above categories, but keeping track by hand or reading through trade logs is a bit of a nightmare, and it doesn't give you the specifics of the trades that went wrong. A few years down the road it would be great to have easy access to this information.
Anyway, I was about to start creating this, I've only made 1 database before so I thought I would see if there is something other people already use.
If you don't know of anything, but have a suggestion for something that might be usefull, then by all means I'm open to any suggestions.
