Who this is for — Anyone who wants to improve deliberately: not by "feelings", but by reading data, behaviour, and plan adherence.
The weekly review is when you turn the trading journal into better decisions. You analyse metrics, errors, execution quality, and consistency with the method, separating performance from process.
In plain terms — It is your debrief: you see what to repeat, what to fix, and what to drop before a small mistake becomes habit.
Bronze prerequisite — Before this lesson: trading-journal, discipline, plan-adherence, trade-lesson. See bronze-path.
Minimum review structure
A useful review includes at least four blocks:
- numbers: total R, expectancy, drawdown, trade frequency;
- process: adherence to checklist and risk rules;
- errors: repeated patterns and economic/behavioural impact;
- plan: one or two precise changes for the following week.
Without this structure, the review becomes emotional commentary only.
Example — Week closed at +1.4R but with 6 off-plan entries. Decision: introduce a mandatory pre-click block and reduce max trades per day until the process stabilises.
From review to action
- Define small, verifiable actions.
- Assign a metric to each action (e.g. off-plan errors ≤ 1/week).
- Log changes in the playbook.
- Check the effect in the next review.
Card
- What it is: periodic review of results, process, and discipline.
- When to use it: every week, same day and time.
- Typical mistake: changing too many variables at once without tracking impact.
