Using screen recordings to review decision making

A written log records selected facts after an event; a screen recording can preserve the sequence in which information and decisions appeared. BabyPips discusses this difference as a way to examine hesitation, premature action and departures from a stated process without relying entirely on memory.

The review should look for effective behavior as well as mistakes. Replaying a session can help separate a problem with the market assessment from a problem with execution. Merely collecting footage is insufficient: the learning step is to identify a specific behavior and decide how it will be evaluated.

Recordings can expose account numbers, balances and personal information, so storage and sharing need care. Review a limited set of meaningful moments rather than every price movement. This is a record-keeping method, not evidence that recording itself improves trading returns.
