How do I track emotions in a trading journal?

Tracking emotions in a trading journal means logging your mental state alongside every trade — what you felt before entry, during the hold, and after the exit. Use a simple tagging system (fear, greed, FOMO, revenge, confidence, boredom) and rate intensity on a 1–5 scale so patterns become measurable rather than vague. Review the tags weekly against your P&L, and you'll quickly spot which emotional states cost you money — RizeTrade builds this directly into its journaling workflow so the data captures itself.
