@RickNovack1 That’s the difference right there bro.
Most people journal, but few actually review and learn from it.
That’s where the real edge is built.
A good journal doesn’t just track trades, it exposes your habits.
Fix the habits, and the results follow.
Jst my thoughts bro.
Which of these improves a trader’s performance the fastest?
- Journaling trades
- Backtesting
- Strict risk management
- Trading experience
- Mentorship
@TheH0n3stTrader Calling journaling a lie just shows you never used it properly.
It’s not magic it just exposes your mistakes. Most traders avoid it because it forces accountability.
No journal same mistakes on repeat.
@proptrustzone Very insightful, especially the emphasis on journaling and psychology. That's where real consistency.
I've been using SuperTrader for tracking my trades, and it definitely helps in maintaining that discipline comes from over time.
After 3 failed prop firm challenges, I finally passed one.
Here’s what actually made the difference:
• Risked only 0.5–1% per trade.
• Stopped revenge trading after losses.
• Journaled every trade.
• Focused on psychology over strategy.
Most traders don’t fail because of the market.They fail because of discipline.
If you're trading a prop firm challenge right now, remember this.Protect the account first.
Profit comes later.Bookmark this for your next challenge.
Most traders blame the market for their losses.
But the market doesn’t know you exist.
It simply moves where liquidity sits.
The real question is:
Are you trading your opinion…
or following the money?
@damibillions_ 1 Journal And review every trade.
2 Time based analysis.
3 Reviewing mistakes consistently.
4 Discipline over emotion.
5 Learning from yourself, not others.
@Ismail_zakx I’d say journaling. Weekends are the best time to review trades and catch the mistakes you keep repeating. That’s where most of the real learning happens for me.
I’ve been using SuperTrader for my journal simple to track everything and it’s around $9/month, which is pretty reaso
It’s the weekend.
Smart traders are doing one of these:
1️⃣ Backtesting
2️⃣ journaling trades
3️⃣ Learning risk management
Which one are you doing today? 👇
@tradetogether01 Consistent profitability started when I began taking my trading journal seriously. I realized strategy wasn’t everythingtracking my entries, exits, and emotions helped me see patterns in my behavior. It wasn’t a new indicator that changed things, but selfawareness and discipline

@Cryptoarena001 For me it was journaling every trade. Once I started logging everything on SuperTrader and reviewing it later, I became a lot more aware of my decisions and mistakes.
Profitable traders:
Drop the ONE lesson that changed everything for you.
The moment you understood it, your trading improved.
Struggling traders:
Read every single reply.
There’s years of experience in the comments.

@Audacitycap A checklist definitely helps keep things structured.
For me the biggest improvement came when I started writing down my trades and the reasoning behind them. Looking back at those notes later made it easier
to see what I was doing right and where I was slipping up.
If you don’t have a trading checklist, you are gambling.
Before every trade:
Check the news
Mark key levels
Plan the trade
Manage risk
Journal trades
Review results
The best traders follow a process, not impulses.
Do you trade with a checklist?
@SpeculatorFL Pretty much this. The waiting part is where most people struggle. Once I started journaling my trades (I use the SuperTrader app), it became obvious how many mistakes came from skipping that step. Patience really is a big part of the routine
Everything you need to succeed in trading is right in your hands :
- A working strategy
- A set of rules
- A journal
- A risk management plan
- Patience
- Discipline &
- Impulse control.
That’s all you need.
Utilize these and win.
@iamdisplacement For me it was actually reviewing my trades, not just taking them. I ignored journaling for a long time, but once I started tracking my trades and mistakes, patterns became a lot clearer.
Now I just use SuperTrader App to keep my trades organised.
@onlinepropfirms From this list, @the5erstrading stands out to me. They’ve been around for quite a while and seem more focused on long term traders rather than quick challenges.
@fundproptraders For me it’s Accepting losses. Even with a solid plan, taking a loss and moving on without trying to revenge trade is harder than it sounds. Once you truly accept that losses are part of the game, discipline and patience start improving too.
What’s the hardest habit to master as a prop trader? 🏆
A) Patience
B) Discipline with stops
C) Following your plan
D) Accepting losses
