A 1-minute lesson from the MarketPro academy, one of 14 in trade journaling and review.

Useful patterns to search for include performance by time of day or session, by instrument, by setup tag, and by day of the week. It's also worth checking whether results differ depending on how many trades you've already taken that day — many traders perform worse after their third or fourth trade in a session due to fatigue or impatience.
