# Adding & Reviewing Notes

### Introduction <a href="#introduction" id="introduction"></a>

The ability to **add and review notes** is a core part of the Trading Journal in LogYourTrades. This feature is designed to help you document the reasoning, strategies, and emotions behind your trades—directly linked to your wallet and trading history.

### Adding Trade Notes <a href="#adding-trade-notes" id="adding-trade-notes"></a>

When logging a trade, you can capture several key details:

* **Why You Bought:** Record your motivation or analysis for entering the trade.
* **Exit Strategy:** Outline your plan for when and how you intend to exit the position.
* **Lessons Learned:** After closing or reviewing a trade, reflect on what you discovered—whether it’s a new insight, a mistake to avoid, or a confirmation of your approach.
* **Emotional State:** Note your mindset at the time of the trade (e.g., confident, anxious, impulsive). This helps track how emotions influence your decisions.

These notes are stored securely and are always linked to the specific trade or token, making it easy to revisit your thought process at any time.

LogYourTrades allows you to **review all your past notes** in one place. This makes it simple to:

* **Analyze Past Decisions:** Look back at your reasoning and see how your trades played out.
* **Identify Mistakes:** Spot recurring errors or emotional patterns that may be impacting your results.
* **Track Improvement:** Monitor how your strategies and mindset evolve over time, helping you become a more disciplined and successful trader.

All notes in LogYourTrades are wallet-linked and exportable, providing both transparency and data portability for your trading journal.
