The journal isn't about trades. It's about you.

A trade log tells you what happened on the chart. A journal that actually works records what happened in your head.

Everyone starts by logging entry, exit, PnL. It's useful for a while — until it becomes noise. Three months in you have 500 rows and no idea what to do with them.

What sustains long-term consistency is something else entirely: the context around each order. What state were you in? How many hours of sleep? Did you have a written plan before the entry? What bias did you drag into the chart — from the previous trade, the news, a grudge?

wealth imports the trade from MT5 automatically. What we ask you to fill is a single tag. One click. "Rushed", "revenge", "fomo", "off-plan", "tired". In 30 days you have a clear picture of what actually holds you back.

It's not about being meticulous. It's about being honest with the right pattern.
