Trading Tip: keeping good records

lil dickie said: "I know it seems like such a simple thing, but for anyone new out there: make sure to keep very detailed records of all your trades. You can use a computer, a notepad and pen, it does not matter, but right down all the details of your trades, including your emotions and thoughts. This way you have a detailed record of your transactions and can go back and see what you were thinking. As time progresses, this will be very helpful for you to develop a successful and profitable trading strategy."
