You create your own trading journal by defining your core fields. Date, ticker, setup type, entry, exit, position size, emotional state, and a screenshot. Then building a template in a spreadsheet or platform like RizeTrade. The structure matters more than the tool: every entry should capture both quantitative data and the reasoning behind your decision. Start simple, track for 30 days, then add fields based on the questions your early data raises.
