Your journal is noisy if regime comes second.
1. Log market regime first: TREND, RANGE, or HIGH_VOL. 2. Record only 3 critical decisions: context, risk, entry reason. 3. Review setup quality by regime, not only by outcome.
Your journal is noisy if regime comes second. Use a fixed pre-trade checklist: classify TREND, RANGE, or HIGH_VOL first, then note only context, risk, and entry reason. Trading Monitor shows the regime before the setup detail, so the workflow stays consistent. Reliable process means showing context, not hiding it behind a magic formula. Save this checklist for your next review.
A useful journal filters decisions before it stores data.
