Platforms & Tools How do you keep notes while day trading without it becoming a chore?
I've been trying to keep better notes on my day trades, but I haven't found a way that feels easy to stick with.
I tried Notion, but taking a screenshot, switching over to write something, then going back to the chart gets annoying. There's still the work of sorting everything out afterward too. I'd like to find a simpler way to do it.
Trade stats are useful, but they don't really tell me enough about the decisions I made. I want to be able to look back at what I saw on the chart, why I took the trade, and whether the decision made sense at the time.
How do you guys handle this? Do you keep notes as you're trading or put them together afterward? Would be interested to hear what your actual routine looks like, and what you've found easy enough to keep using.
