The biggest review mistake is losing pre-trade intent. MyLinedChart supports cleaner reflection by preserving context through both phases.

Why Intent Drift Happens

Without preserved context, post-trade narratives can overwrite the original setup logic.

That makes it harder to identify whether the real issue was setup design or execution behavior.

Pre and Post Review Method

  • Define and annotate setup before execution.
  • Export the context you actually used.
  • Revisit that context after execution.
  • Document what stayed aligned and what drifted.

Reflection Quality Gain

This process supports honest review by anchoring feedback in preserved decision context rather than memory.

Over multiple sessions, pattern detection becomes much easier.

FAQ

Do I need separate templates for pre and post phases?

No. The same export schema can support both phases when timestamps and notes are preserved clearly.

Can this help reduce hindsight bias?

Yes. Preserved pre-trade context makes hindsight rewrites easier to spot during review.
