Why I Track Consecutive Losses in My Trading Journal
Tracking consecutive losses can help me understand both strategy performance and my own behavior.
Do I start increasing size after two losses? Do I abandon valid setups because I'm afraid of another loss? Do I continue trading after reaching my limit?
The number of losses matters, but my reaction to them matters too.
I use my journal to identify patterns before they become habits.
A losing streak is not a reason to panic, but it is a good opportunity to review risk, execution, and discipline.
