The 3rd quarter of 2021 has come to an end. How's your trading? We have experienced the continuous rise of S&P500, the listing of Robinhood, Buffett indicator skyrocketing to 200%, BNPL spike, Apple's event and so much more. Did you succeed in buying low and selling high? Take a look at how the market went in the Q3 of 2021 below. Are you ready to review your performance?
Why should I review trading performance?
Many traders are simply investing their time, believing that if they spend enough time in the market, their skills will be improved. But "investing time" does not necessarily increase your profit potential. If you always do the same things and make the same mistakes, investing time will only make these habits more ingrained. That's why you need to take time to monitor, review and evaluate every trade you make. A thorough review will reveal what your common mistakes are, which you can improve through practice; what you are very good at, which you may take advantage of more often. By doing so consistently, you can go from good to great.
When to review?
So when and how frequently should you have this kind of review? That depends on your trading style and trading frequency. If you make fewer than five trades per month, a monthly or quarterly review will be enough. If you trade every day, a weekly review may be more appropriate. If you review your trade performance after a long time, you may miss opportunities to make needed adjustments.
How to review?
Hey, I have no idea! Why don't you tell me? Well, you can think about these: What stocks have you been trading? What are the profitable and loss-making trades? Which sector have you invested in? What's your overall P/L? How's the market overall doing? What is working and what could be improved?

The Bottom Line
Hey, let's do this together! It’s also important to not be too critical on yourself when it comes to trading losses. No strategy or system is right all the time and there will always be losing trades. But hopefully, the amount you make when your trades work out will be larger than the total of losses. Regular reviews of your performance can help your own trading move to this goal.
