A trading journal turns a series of trades into data you can learn from. Without one, you remember the big wins and the painful losses and forget everything in between, which is exactly where the useful patterns are. This category explains how to keep a journal that actually improves your trading.
The guides cover what to record for every trade, ready-made templates for ICT traders, how to import trades from MetaTrader 5, how to run a weekly review and how a dedicated journal compares with a spreadsheet. If you are starting from zero, read the ICT trading journal template; if you already trade on MT5, see how to import MT5 trades into a journal and skip manual entry.
The LSG Club journal is free for every club member: trades by hand or from an MT4/MT5 report, each trade on its chart with stop and target zones, Kill Zones in UTC, screenshots and analytics that show your behaviour, your best sessions and your optimal risk-reward.
