      Go to a quiet, relaxing place and write about your trades. Put it onpaper, or type it into your computer. I have done this for years. Rarely,however, have I ever gone back and reviewed my notes. That is not thepurpose of this exercise. Writing (or typing in my case) slows down yourthought process. Your fingers do not work as fast as your mind. By framingyour thoughts on paper, you will find that the order, pattern, and resultof your analysis is much clearer than rooting over a mistake and kickingyourself for the rest of the day. It helps you to clear your head and givesyou the opportunity to logically and methodically frame your thoughts in aproductive forum (beating yourself up over a bad trade is usually not veryproductive). Although I do not write about my winners as much as thelosers, this too is a valuable exercise. It helps you to "see" whichvariables you used in making the decision to enter and exit the trade.
