Why do so many traders fail?
It is a commonly known broker statistic - 90% of traders fail within 6-12 months... Why?
Very few traders keep any type of a trading journal, let alone one designed to track and
analyze their progress. Do you think this has anything to do with the high failure rate? 
... are you a standout trader?
Dr. Alexander Elder, author of Trading for a Living has this to say about good Record-Keeping... "If you do not have good records, how can you measure your performance, rate you progress, and learn from your mistakes? Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it."
Brett N. Steenbarger, Ph.D., author of Enhancing Trader Performance has this to say about Journals...
"The Journal is a business plan. The right plan, executed faithfully, can be the difference between success and failure in any endeavor."
Keeping a trading journal and tracking your progress is an essential element to the success of your trading business. The time spend on your TJS spreadsheet will be rewarding as you watch your progress unfold right in front of your eyes.

unless you know where you've been"
