Options Trading Journal: Unlock Your Options Trading Potential
We just published a new guide in our blog about Options Trading Journal.

Many traders don't maintain a trading journal for their trades and push it for 'later' when they will be 'serious' or profitable. We believe that a trading journal is one of the best tools you can use to become a profitable trader.

A trading journal allows you to learn from data, fight biases and emotions, and thus learn and improve faster.

We wrote a complete guide about trading journals (you don't need a sophisticated software to get started), What they are, what they need to include, how you can use them, etc. And also included some information about our trading journal feature.
