Nq Trading Journal Risk Report

NQ can produce large dollar swings quickly, so a journal should separate trade frequency, loss size, and payoff quality rather than relying on net P/L alone.

What to measure

Track average winner and loser, profit factor, largest realized loss, longest losing streak, and expectancy per completed trade.

A repeatable workflow

Review the execution export before adding screenshots or market commentary. Flag any loss materially larger than the session's average loss for a rule-compliance check.

Common mistake

A positive day can still contain risk drift. Do not let a late winner erase evidence that size or frequency exceeded the plan.

Use these measurements as an educational review of recorded executions, not as a prediction or trading recommendation.
