{quote} That's exactly why I record my trades. It helps me to see what are the best days, pairs and situations to trade.
I just look at my trading history for that. I assume, however, that going through such a record in an Excel chart is probably more productive. Maybe I should start doing that too.

Good point. I don't know why it hasn't occurred to me to do that up to know, I've been trading for years. Anyways, I've started preparing my Excel chart.

I screenshot the shit out of every little thing (Before entry, after entry and so on and also various time frames per single trade) at the end of the day / week / month I'll go through my screens and analyze it.

Thats a great idea.

You guys can use leverage evernote to make a trading journal. Its pretty easy. Give it a try.

taking screenshots is a great idea. Visualising is always a better way to analyze than just a pure excel sheet or the history. I do short videos mostly on news trading as things get crazy so I need to see things and the spreads again.

Why note use myfxbook ? Your trades are already recorded, you can sort them as you want, recalculate stats for any pair you want, and even add comments or screenshots for each trade.
Don't give up on your dreams. Keep sleeping.

All my trades are recorded in MT4 itself, in FF trade explorers and in Myfxbook. Enough for analysis.

Recording trades between brokers would be a nice shot. Even you are successful, you may find out which brokers have hidden games.

Sorry for my stupid english.
I mean that having accounts at different brokers could be a chance to compare the same trades.

Your English isn't stipid, we all have to learn sometime, don't worry.
And I agree with your point, the truth is often found in comparing the results from doing the same trades with different brokers.

Yes, I also record my live trading history! In addition, during Saturday & Sunday I do analysis on my weekly trading performance! I seem it’s a good practice for traders to make a permanent trading record! I also see, all of pro traders follow this method.

Trading history to keep by excel is a great trading discipline which is really supportive to ensure a professionalism activities. But beginners always fail to continue it. Screenshot can be a part of trading history. I like this way instead of excel file.

Show me a trader who doesn't keep good, accurate records (in whatever form he wants) and I'll show you a losing trader.
