Use the same journal fields I use for trade reviews
This blank template uses the trading fields from my own Forex Trade Journal 2.0 workflow. It helps you record the setup, risk, execution, screenshots, emotions and lesson in one place. It contains no private trade entries or account information.

A useful review routine
- Before the trade, write down the setup reason, entry, stop and target. Screenshot the higher-timeframe context.
- After the trade, record the actual exit, result and emotion. Add your lower-timeframe execution screenshots.
- After the session, write one lesson and tag any recurring setup or mistake. Review several entries together before changing rules.
Keep any broker statements, account numbers and private financial details outside a public journal. This template is for your own recordkeeping and education; it is not trading advice.
