Why I Use Screenshots to Improve My Trading Decisions

A screenshot can capture the exact market conditions surrounding a trade.

I save the chart at entry, mark the important levels, and record what I expected to happen.

Later, I compare that expectation with the actual outcome.

This helps me identify whether I misread the market, entered too late, or followed the plan correctly but experienced a normal loss.

Screenshots also reduce reliance on memory, which can become selective after a stressful session.

A visual record makes trade review more specific and useful.
