What’s the #1 thing you track in your trading journal?

Ive been journaling my trades since the start of my journey, and oddly enough my #1 metric has been average hold time.

I found that when my hold times are significantly lower than average it is usually because I panic sold or made a trade I shouldn’t have made in the first place. Conversely if I held way longer than average it’s usually a trade I got emotional about.

Way more often than not, when my average hold time is consistent with the strategy I am using, I have a winner
