Outcome-only journals flatter luck and bury process. Add fields that force a yes or no: planned size used, stop moved after entry, added to a loser, took risk after a soft drawdown warning.
Score process separately from P&L. A green day with three rule breaks is a warning. A red day with full adherence is data, not failure.
In Trade Journal Review sessions we often find the same three leaks: sizing after emotional attachment, stop widening within the first hour, and trading through a soft threshold without reducing size. Those patterns appear in checkboxes long before they appear in equity curves.
