The Core Strategy Explained: Trading journal performance documentation means you write down each move. You note entry price exit price size outcome and feeling. On a 15 minute chart you capture every swing. This approach is meant for advanced traders who track every 15 minute swing. The record shows what works and what does not. That makes the method useful for aggressive traders who want to keep moving forward. You think of each 15 minute gap as a piece of a larger long term plan. (2/4)
