Turn Your Review Ritual into a Compounding Edge

April 18, 2025

How do you review your trading day? A quick look at the profit or loss?Continuously obsessing over it? While P&L matters, it tells you what happened, not why. Real improvement comes from understanding the decisions, emotions, and rule adherence behind the numbers.

A structured review process is like compound interest for your trading skills. Small, consistent insights build over time into significant improvements.

Mental Edge guides you through tailored period reviews:

  • Daily: Capture immediate emotional responses and decision points.
  • Weekly: Identify recurring patterns in the short-term and adjust your process if needed.
  • Monthly: Assess progress on medium-term goals.
  • Quarterly: Make strategic adjustments based on longer trends.
  • Yearly: Evaluate long-term strategy effectiveness.

Instead of just reacting to results, a consistent review ritual helps you proactively refine your process, understand your psychological tendencies, and build a repeatable edge that lasts. Stop guessing, start reviewing.
