Why the best reviews happen after the close
Markets move fast. Your edge compounds when you slow down and review with structure.
During the session, your job is execution. After the close, your job is learning. Mixing the two usually means doing neither well.
A post-session journal does not need to be long. It needs to be honest: what was the plan, what did you take, where did you deviate, and what will you change tomorrow?
TradeKeel is built around that ritual — log the trades, attach the notes, and look at the numbers without the noise of a live chart.
If you only change one habit this month, make it a ten-minute review after the close. Consistency beats intensity.
