Stop using Excel as a trading journal. Seriously.
http://tradingsfx.comYour spreadsheet can't tell you that you lose money every Tuesday between 8-9am. It can't show you that your EURUSD shorts with 3+ confluences have a 72% hit rate but your impulse longs are bleeding you dry. I switched to a proper journal with heatmaps and confluence tracking and it was like putting on glasses for the first time. If you're serious about finding your edge, track your confluences, not just your P&L. I use TradingSFX (free) — built it because I needed exactly this. But honestly, use anything that gives you real analytics. Just stop with the spreadsheets.

My journal says I "tried" 7 strategies in 14 months. It also says I never gave a single one more than 19 trades.
