p.s. However, evaluating my own emotional context during the trade is another matter entirely. I would put more effort in understanding myself..These are the psychological and emotional context I would review after my trade is completed.

I enjoy these views as well. Many have a trading journal that only lists the "enter here, exit here" components. While I feel this is beneficial for possibly what is best working in the current system, i.e. breakouts, range trading, breakdowns, etc., it leaves the most important part of trading out of the journal. If trading is at least 80% mental, and your journal is 100% mechanical, I can't see how such a trading journal would really be beneficial. Your comments on this trade evaluation make more sense to me than just a straight "mechanical" trading journal.

Respectfully,

Chris
