Learn to make notes when trading

[badajet1]

Every successful trader should keep a diary of their trading activities. This helps to identify mistakes and successes in order to find out work works and what does not

This is important so that you can keep a log of mistakes / what works and helps reenforce good habits.

this is great idea otherwise you won't know what is working for you and what isn't working, but having it all written down you can review your notes and amend anything that's not working for you.

Retrospect logs are what all successful traders use.

Always a great idea to log your activity, but remember to note your emotions/how you were feeling during that session.
Helps to improve and to protect you from over-trading and revenge trading. Remember your emotions are just as important as your risk management.

It's been a while since your post, but I'd like to add some information. Agree with you on making notes while trading. It's like having a roadmap for your decisions, right? I used to just wing it, thinking I’d remember everything, but I missed so many little details that actually mattered.

Yes, such a diary allows you to analyze your mistakes and find their causes, which will give you the opportunity to adjust your strategy to eliminate such mistakes in the future and gradually improve the quality of your trading.
