You should update your trading journal after every single trade, ideally within minutes of closing the position. Delayed entries lose the emotional honesty and contextual detail that make reviews useful — you will rationalize a bad decision by the end of the day. Set a weekly review session on top of that to look for patterns across multiple trades, because individual entries only tell stories while aggregated data reveals your edge.
