Yeah, I do. It's called an equity curve. I stand on my head to look at it. In fact, what I do is incorporate each lesson (especially the treasured expensive ones) in my trading rules. While I don't keep a journal of the dirty little thoughts running through my head at the time of each trade, I note the time of each trade and post mortem it at night. This may sound stupid to an experienced trader like you, but my best defense against error is to keep a one minute chart up appropriately scaled to show the whole day, even the blank part up to the close. My constant mantra is "What will you think about this chart after the market is closed?" It's a way to try to get the evening's perspective before it's too late.
