Pro tip for tracking your trades: throw in timestamps and position sizing right at the top. This basic framework gets you started, but here's the beauty - you can tweak it however you want. Once you've got this foundation down, customize it to match your trading style. Some folks add entry/exit prices, others track their emotions. The key? Start simple, then build complexity as you figure out what actually matters for your strategy.

That's right, I had always overlooked the timestamp recording part before, and as a result, I messed up several times.

It's true that you need to keep track of the timestamp and position size, but to be honest, I'm still used to just looking at the screenshots in the trading log.

Timestamps and positions really are the standard features of trading records.

Simple and straightforward, no need for any tricks—just look at the equity curve.

Haha, it feels like recording transactions is just recording the process of how I lose money.

You do need to keep track of the timestamp and position size, but to be honest, for most people, even if they remember them, it doesn't really matter.

Haha, it's the same old story again. I've been doing this for a long time.
