First off, it never hurts to have a dry erase board; you can record your forex trading plan on a dry erase board and hang it on the wall your trading desk so that you are forced to read it every day prior to trading. You can eventually keep track of your trades in a spreadsheet, but you may want to get a 3-ring binder to print the charts of trades you take while learning, this will give you a tangible trading record that you can use to learn from. Most traders don’t give much thought to their trading environment, but the truth is that it’s very important, and considering most of us are trading from home, there’s a lot you can do to create a relaxing trading atmosphere.
