A weekly review template for discretionary traders
Thirty minutes, five questions, one forbid rule — how to turn Stats and Journal Coach into a habit that sticks.
By TradaxLab
The five questions
What setup paid? What setup bled? Which mistake cost the most? Did I follow Pre-flight? What will I forbid next week?
Answer from your journal and equity curve — not from memory of the loudest trade.
Keep the output tiny
Write one process rule in the playbook or as a pinned note. Reviews that produce essays don’t get repeated. Reviews that produce one rule do.
30-minute review schedule
Minutes 0-10: performance by setup and session.
Minutes 10-20: biggest mistake tag and rule violations.
Minutes 20-30: write one keep-doing rule and one stop-doing rule.
Block this at the same weekday/time each week to make it automatic.
