Options Trading Journal Template

Discipline beats prediction. Journal per trade: date, signal P, filter gates passed, regime, size, outcome, what the model got right/wrong. Review weekly. The model is a junior analyst; the journal is your senior review. Most retail remembers wins and forgets the chop that funded them. A journal turns noise into evidence. Publish anonymized aggregates -- it is the content moat the entity strategy demands, and it keeps you honest when the next signal looks free.
