Do you record your trades?

I agree. All trades present some unique conditions. The point is it "might" help to take a review at your old trades but then it's quite a task to maintain a trading journal.

It took me many years until I started to journal my positions thoroughly; it was only then I truly understood my trading and my flaws, and my positives!

Yeah, recording trades is a good habit to have. But keeping a trading journal is way better. You will get insight into your trading, and recognize mistakes so that you don’t repeat them in the future. https://bit.ly/37aQ0fW

Don't people usually record their trades in a journal?

People usually record their trades like entry and exit condition in a journal. It is help later to adjust strategy.
