Repeating the same trading mistakes

Being stuck in a circle concerns mistakes we make in trading. Now, understand that, as a beginner, it is totally normal and even essential to make mistakes when you trade.

The key lies in not repeating those mistakes over and over again.

The best solution and the one I use in that case is to keep a journal of your mistakes. It doesn't have to be very complex nor it should be. Simply write down bullet points of your mistakes.

If you've already done that, great! But you've only applied half of the solution. The next thing to do is to review your mistakes periodically. I review my journal every week.

I found that using a paper journal to write my mistakes down made it easier to remember them.
