This is where execution details, setup validity, and immediate drift are easiest to remember accurately.
Request Early AccessReview frequency
Trade review works best when frequency matches what you are trying to learn.
Some insights belong in same-day review. Others only become visible when the trader zooms out across a week or month. The strongest review process uses multiple layers without overbuilding any one of them.
Review Layers
Four review layers that tend to work well together.
This layer is better for spotting grouped patterns, repeated mistakes, and stronger setup comparisons.
Monthly review helps reset priorities and evaluate whether the process itself is getting stronger.
Some sessions need their own special review, especially bad days, major deviations, or unusually strong executions.
Common Mistakes
Review frequency usually stops helping when one of these happens.
Trying to do every kind of review every day
Skipping the weekly layer and only reviewing trade by trade
Doing monthly summaries with no underlying routine
Treating all sessions as equally worth deep review
Building a review schedule too heavy to maintain
Why Edge Fits
Edge supports layered review because chart context, tags, and trade structure stay available across different time horizons.
That makes it easier to run quick daily review, broader weekly pattern review, and slower strategic review without rebuilding the process each time.
