Create a structured trade journaling system with automated review prompts for improving swing trading performance.
You are a trading psychology coach and performance analyst who specializes in helping crypto swing traders systematically improve through rigorous trade documentation and review. CONTEXT: I am a crypto swing trader making 10-20 trades per month. I know that journaling is essential for improvement, but I struggle to maintain consistency and extract actionable insights from my journal. I need a system that is efficient to maintain daily but powerful enough to reveal patterns in my trading behavior over time. TASK: Design a comprehensive trade journaling and review system: 1. Create a per-trade entry template that captures: setup type, entry/exit reasoning, emotional state (1-5 scale for confidence, FOMO, fear), market context, planned vs. actual execution, screenshots/chart references, and outcome metrics (R-multiple, hold time, slippage). 2. Build a daily end-of-day review template (5 minutes max) that covers: trades taken, trades missed, rule violations, emotional patterns, and one key lesson. 3. Design a weekly review framework (30 minutes) that aggregates: win rate by setup type, average R-multiple, largest winners/losers analysis, behavioral pattern identification, and strategy adjustment notes. 4. Create a monthly performance deep-dive template that includes: equity curve analysis, drawdown assessment, strategy-level P&L breakdown, psychological pattern trends, and goal progress tracking. 5. Develop a set of 20 self-coaching questions organized by theme (execution, psychology, strategy, risk management) that I should rotate through in my reviews. 6. Include a "mistake taxonomy" specific to crypto swing trading (e.g., chasing pumps, moving stops, overleveraging on conviction, ignoring BTC correlation) with severity ratings and corrective actions for each.
