Monthly swing trading journal review. Trades completed this month: 9 Winners: 6 (67% win rate) Losers: 3 (33%) Average winner: +2.3R Average loser: -0.8R Net month: +11.4R → roughly +5.7% account Best trade: AUD/USD long from the 0.6480 monthly demand zone. Held 7 days, closed at 0.6620. +4.8R. Worst trade: USD/CAD short — got stopped out by a short-squeeze on thin Friday liquidity, then price went to my original target the following week. Entry and target were right; execution timing was off. Key insight this month: My losing trades share one pattern — I entered before the daily confirmation candle closed. I was anticipating the signal rather than waiting for it. Next month focus: Only enter on confirmed daily candle closes. No anticipation. Do you track your trade statistics monthly?
