Do you guys actually use a trading journal? Or is it just numbers no one really understands?

I’ve been testing a few trading journals lately, and honestly, most of them just throw a bunch of charts, ratios, and numbers at you. Half the time I don’t even know what I’m supposed to do with that info.

What I really wish for is something that gives me clear, actionable insights like:
– “You lose twice as much as you win, try setting tighter stops”
– “You chase losses after a drawdown, pause before your next trade”

Basically, something that tells me what’s wrong and how to fix it, instead of just data overload.

Do you guys use any journals/tools that actually help you in this way? Or do you just track manually?

Side note: I’ve been working on a tool like this and thinking of offering early users 6 months access at FREE. Not trying to shill here—genuinely curious if traders here would even find that useful. If anyone’s interested, I can share the link in the DM.
