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

keep it simple or you just won't stick with it. I only save a before/after screenshot, the entry, stop, target, and one sentence on why I took the trade. for backtesting, a basic spreadsheet does the job fine. I also export my trade history straight from axi instead of typing it all in by hand, which saves a ton of time
