The Purpose of SevenTrading
Seven Trading was established as a public trading journal, with a specific emphasis on learning through detailed documentation rather than relying on market predictions. By recording real trades, actual decision-making processes, and genuine outcomes, the journal aims to provide greater insight into how trading behavior and skills evolve over time.
Through the disciplined practice of documenting every trade and conducting structured reviews of the results, the trading process itself becomes the most effective teacher. The primary objective is not to showcase flawless or consistently profitable trades, but rather to foster deep clarity and long-term growth through consistent repetition, thoughtful reflection, and ongoing refinement of strategies and behaviors.
How the Journal Works & Why Documentation Matters
Seven Trading uses a structured journal to capture the full context of each trade,
not just the result. Trades are planned with defined criteria, executed through
Interactive Brokers, and recorded with notes on reasoning, market conditions, and
post-trade observations.
Documentation transforms trading into a repeatable learning process. By reviewing
decisions over time, patterns become visible, emotional biases are easier to
identify, and adjustments are based on evidence rather than hindsight. The journal
serves as a long-term record of growth, not a collection of isolated outcomes.
The journal entries document this process as it unfolds in real time. Each entry
reflects the planning, execution, and review described above, forming a continuous
record of learning through practice.
