Why should we review our trades?
Writing reviews is one of the most effective ways to evaluate our past performance. A comprehensive review should include the assessment and analysis of your progress and mistakes. Reviews could be the basis for better planning and decision-making in the long run.
Please take a look at what @Jamesimsaid about reviewing trades:  WHY DO YOU WANT TO REVIEW?
How to review your trades?
Tip 1: Record the actions and results
You can write down your trading ticker, the P/L, transaction details like entry and exit points, order details like buying and selling prices, etc. Details of your actions and results are essential to the reviews and analysis afterward. 
Check out the examples below:
Tip 2: Write down your observations
Apart from the records of your actions, reviews can also include observations. You can always reflect on yourself, the companies you are watching, or the overall stock market. If you are a daytrader, you can take screenshots of intraday charts and comment on them. Besides, technical indicators are helpful when you are trying to uncover patterns. We've found that most trading reviews concentrate on self-analysis and include little about the related companies and market sentiments. Let's see how to do it appropriately below.

Tip 3: Accept your mistakes and celebrate your progress
With the records of actions and observations mentioned above, you can dig deeper to uncover the mistakes and progress you've made. In this process, there shouldn't be any hard feelings. We can celebrate and learn from both failures and successes. Reviews enable you to keep tabs on your growth as a trader and the weak links of your trade. Only by constantly improving yourself can you become more confident. An excellent example is as follows: Watch out Trailing Stop!!
Tip 4: Monitor and control your emotions
Being indulged in emotions, negative or positive, could lead to impulsive actions. A review of your trade allows you to note down how you feel when encountering a specific situation. This practice enables you to accept and acknowledge the emotions behind every transaction.
Example to review your emotion "Lost by not entering, won by not entering too." @Moo to Moon FTW, and @Ganar Poco
Trading reviews are powerful learning tools. Writing them is part of the excellent mechanism that helps you discover what you want and what suits you the best. A couple of months later, you may start to uncover the patterns of your trades, which means your trading system is taking shape!
