A trading journal is a living document that will help you show your successes and failures and make you a better trader. Outside that viewpoint, a trading journal makes accounting that much easier, and tax-time is made a piece of cake.

A trading journal can be complex and contain many different entries, or it can be as simple as just five different elements. With that said, this article will outline what those five elements are and how they can work for you. This data is more important for day traders and some swing traders, but can work for just about anyone. Trading journals are one more element to obtaining financial freedom.

The following was adapted from Bob Prechter’s 2002 New York Times and Amazon best seller, Conquer the Crash – You Can Survive and Prosper in a Deflationary Depression.

Deflation requires a precondition: a major societal buildup in the extension of credit (and its flip side, the assumption of debt). Austrian economists Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich Hayek warned of the consequences of credit expansion, as have a handful of other economists, who today are mostly ignored.

What you want in order to be successful with your Forex trading:

You must have a tested and definite trading strategy as well as extreme discipline to follow the strategy and execute the plan to the letter. You will want to be exact and precise with your entries, always going for the very best entries with the highest probabilities of success, with the lowest risk. You would want to evaluate the risk, not only in terms of pips but also in terms of strategy and chart pattern.

For instance, if you are trading a breakout, and this would be a long trade, right at a strong resistance level, price very often turns back to test the breakout level. So your stop loss would need to be larger than usual in relation to your capital and you could feel very uncomfortable with it. In this case it would be prudent to wait for a second attempt at the breakout, and then be in a position to use a smaller stop loss.

The foreign exchange market is the largest of the financial markets, and doesn’t trade in stocks. Instead, it trades in currency pairs, and you buy, sell or hold based upon how you think a particular currency is going to do against another. For this, you need to learn your way around the Forex market. It’s also a very convenient market trading, because it trades 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

With the Forex trade, you need to learn your way around this very different kind of market, and you need to learn how to do trades. Because of this, you’ll need to practice a lot before you actually engage in trades for real money. There are several ways to go about this. You can take a course in the Forex trade, either online or in a real traditional classroom. You can also do self-study through a Forex trade course.
