Track It - Getting your trading statistics!

 Day's not quite over, but I'm starting the End Of Day routine early because what I was trading wasn't moving great and the stuff I usually look for wasn't showing up and from what I can tell with the VIX up there are more market style plays which I'm not going to get involved with today. Mostly because I want to take the dive into my trading statistics. I've never kept a hard record of my trading stats, but have just kind of noted what was working and when I do better and how I feel on a day and how different stocks move because of float or short interest or or or and and and I think you get the point that I never crunched numbers really ( I love that I wrote that sentence with no commas on purpose - what a challenge). SO... I've been wanting to see what I can discover about my trading and what will help me trade better so I'm going to start using Tradervue. I've heard good things about it, but of course I wonder what else is out there and what methods others use to keep track of there trades. So, what do you do? Do you tradervue? Excel Sheet? I honestly don't even know what else is out there - Should probably do a little search research. I have used tradervue a little so I know the kinds of things that it can tell me about my trades/myself and I also know that I can afford it. Any tradervue success stories out there? I've heard of people finding only a couple kinds of trades they were making were profitable so the ended up sticking to those kinds of trades and were able to become profitable. Sounds good.  I can image keep statistics as being one of those stepping stones and that really reviewing your work can become a kind of edge because you know you better, and you are the business and your greatest enemy or ally (not alley). I'll be looking forward to see if I learn anything about myself and how it helps (or not - but I can see it helping) me in the future. Ah, I slept well last night - das gut! Cheers! (I also think it will be interesting to see how much these "journal" entries change in the future because I already want a bit more of a format than I 'm doing, but maybe I need this - write about something and see what flows kind of format - I mean yesterday's writeup turned out to be enlightening for myself. You see I've studied literature in the past (it's uhm my degree and was going to be my career path until life happened - i.e. my Master's is in English Literature and was going to continue until there was a fire that destroyed my entire town so things changed and I got into trading after finishing my Masters and Covid). Back to the studied literature bit - usually you come up with a topic and then learn all you can about it like representations of water in literature form the 1920s or a character or something fairly specific and then you learn about it inside and out. I think what I've done recently in all of my reading is just going for the general ideas and trying to apply what I can remember here and there, but I believe it will be beneficial to go back over many of the things I read and read them again with specific goal in mind - a specific topic and learn it inside and out - specifically "stops" in yesterdays article. Anyway now I just repeated some of yesterdays journal. I'm done for now. Cheers!
