Kya likhna hai, kaise review karna hai, aur P&L se zyada kya maayne rakhta hai
Published by The Retail Trader · AUG 09, 2026 · Features
Har trader ke paas apne trading ka ek version hota hai jo unke dimaag mein rehta hai. Wo version lagbhag hamesha galat hota hai — yaadein jeet ko bada aur haar ko chhota kar deti hain. Journal ka poora point yahi hai: yaad ki jagah record.
Statement batata hai ki kya hua. Journal batata hai ki kyun hua. Pehla data hai, doosra samajh.
Isliye har trade ke saath sirf entry-exit nahi, wajah bhi likhni hoti hai — aur wajah trade lene se pehle likhni hoti hai, baad mein nahi. Baad mein likhi gayi wajah hamesha nateeje se mel khaati hai.
Ek chhota template kaafi hai:
• Setup ka naam — ye trade kis kism ki thi. Agar naam nahi de sakte, to wo setup nahi tha.
• Entry, stop, target — trade lene se pehle, teenon.
• Kyun ab — timing ki wajah. Ye sabse zyada chhoota jaane wala aur sabse kaam ka field hai.
• Size aur risk — kitne % capital par risk liya.
• Nateeja aur uska R multiple — kitne guna risk mila ya gaya. Rupees se R behtar hai, kyunki wo alag size ki trades ko compare karne layak bana deta hai.
• Ek line — 'agar dobara ye trade aaye to main kya alag karoonga'.
Entry ke waqt chart ka screenshot le lena kaafi kaam ka hai. Do hafte baad wahi chart bilkul alag dikhta hai, aur aapko yaad hi nahi rehta ki us waqt kya dikh raha tha.
Yahi wo cheez hai jo hindsight bias ko todti hai. Aap dekh paate ho ki faisla us waqt ki jaankari se kaisa tha, aaj ki jaankari se nahi.
Har hafte 20 minute kaafi hain. Do sawaal: mere rules kitni baar toote, aur kaunsa setup actually paisa bana raha hai.
Zyadatar traders ko yahin sabse bada surprise milta hai — unke profit ka bada hissa ek ya do setups se aata hai, aur unka time uske ulta baanta hua hai.
Ek column rakho: 'kya maine apne rules follow kiye — haan/nahi'. Aur trade ko is column par judge karo, P&L par nahi.
Rules follow karke haarna ek acchi trade hai. Rules tod kar jeetna ek buri trade hai jise inaam mil gaya — aur wahi aage chal kar sabse mehngi padti hai.
Ye article sirf educational hai — koi buy ya sell recommendation nahi, koi guaranteed return ka daawa nahi, aur koi advisory nahi. Rules, rates aur mechanics exchange, SEBI aur RBI time-time par badalte hain, isliye har number apne broker ya official source par khud verify karo.
