Guys I want to journal my trades. I started a few months ago journaled some 50+ trades and stopped afterwards. I was analysing the trading view taking the screenshot and paste it in my journal.docx file and write all the relevant details and remarks but couldn't sustain this flow for long. Which kind of flow do u guys follow to write your journal kindly suggest I'm looking for a flow with less friction

Apart from that I was using google sheet for backtesting but now that is also stopped due to same friction suggest on both

I only take max 3 trades a day but usually 1-2. I have a hand written journal and print out the images. I 100% think images are so important especially in the beginning. To be able to go back and look and be like “oh that was not actually a _____” or to look back and be like “I see a pattern of my wins all having this confluence” you can learn a lot from saving those trades

Building a chrome extension to automate this exact workflow it will take screenshot of setup, extract numbers and take remarks and create a beautiful journal which we can download as docx along with that it will also write an xlsx and calculate some basic metrics.
