How do you organize your trading notes and material
I use OneNote between my computer and iPad. The notebook is in the cloud so it syncs whenever a change is made on either device. OneNote allows me to take written notes on my iPad and then save screenshots and on my computer or iPad.
To me it’s the best of the both worlds. A written journal with screenshots.
Journaling can be a pain. I need to find a way to streamline this process in the best possible way - both in terms of efficiency when doing it AND learning purposes (both in the present and for review later on).
I'm questioning how much is actually useful to spend time writing down.
Since we're on the subject - do you all annotate charts with your daily trades?
I wish that part could be automated. Maybe I'm just retarded, but I feel Ninja's plots of trades are hard to read. So I annotate by hand. Since I don't have that many trades on average per day, it's usually fine, but it's an added burden in terms of time.
In addition to this, I usually annotate charts for the entire day after the close.

I find the Trade Performance Report helpful. NT8 New/Trade Performance/Trades right click a trade, choose Chart. Plots Green or Red lines on a 1 min chart of your trades.
Still a bit mess as you say but the lines help I think.

Buy Low And Sell High (read left to right or right to left....lol)
That's actually quite an improvement. The lines do help connect the dots a bit. I suppose it can still get messy, but now it's actually understandable.
