Today was my first day when I tried recording videos of my market analysis and trading. Now at end of the day, I'm really impressed because I made 22 short videos ,documenting my thoughts and trades. This also is one of my goals - to document my thought process while trading/analyzing market so it can later be analyzed and improved if necessary.
How it differs form writing everything in MS Word or somewhere else? It's much more easier to do ,thus it results in more often documentation. When I was writing in Word doc , I had problems doing it often , because you must open the file, then add screenshots, edit them and explain. With video journal none of that is necessary , its 10x less effort, thus documentation count per day has increased multiple times. Also , in videos you can hear your own voice and understand the emotional state at the time.
At the end of the day, I see large potential and benefit to this type of journal creation.
What video recording software do you use?
OBS studio (free)

How do you make it easy to record? Recording without opening the software window?
To make recording easy, I set up Hot Keys in OBS settings for recording start and stop. Then I can just look at the chart and when I have something to say then push the button combination and start recording , then when finished , again push key combination and stop recording.
At the end of the day I put all recorded videos in one folder with today's date.
How much space does this consume?
It depends on quality of video. I'm recording on my laptop with 1400x800 resolution and 20FPs(frames per sec.)
Consumes about 50MB per day. Estimated consumed place per month - 1GB(nothing much these days)
As always, hope that this was useful to someone , definitely recommend trying this!
Cheers and many green PIPs to all!
