Trading Journal Market Regime Template

Add regime context to each trade so your review process compares setup quality in similar market conditions.

Core regime tags to capture in your journal

Trend state: uptrend, downtrend, or range-bound market
Volatility state: compressed, normal, or expanding volatility
Liquidity context: normal session flow vs event-driven conditions
Macro/event backdrop: earnings, FOMC week, CPI day, or none
Execution confidence: full-size, reduced-size, or observation-only

Five-step market regime review workflow

Define 3 to 5 regime tags with clear label rules.
Apply one trend tag and one volatility tag to every trade.
Run weekly grouping by setup plus regime tags.
Separate process errors from regime mismatch errors.
Update one rule only after repeated regime-specific evidence.

Simple regime template you can copy

Regime summary: trend + volatility + liquidity snapshot
Setup used: strategy name and entry criteria status
Sizing decision: standard, reduced, or no-trade with reason
Result notes: process grade, not only outcome grade
Next-cycle action: keep, refine, or pause setup in this regime
