Record Keeping

[mracejay]

Hi,

I am just currently reading through a book about trading. In the section that I am currenlty on it is stressing the importance of good record keeping (couldn't agree more!) but it is saying that it is important to record and to know what your strike rate is.

I seem to be having a bit of a mental block as to how to record this information. I am thinking that per horse race, there could well be several trades. Dose every single trade need to be recorded? It would just seem to me that I would end spending 90% of my time record keeping and very little time actually trading, which would kind of defeat the object. Is there some kind of way to automate this record keeping or even somwhere where the information is recorded that I can go back to later on in the day to preform the record keeping and analysis?

Sorry to sound so thick but I just can't workout how to record my strike rate efficiently, so any help or advice will be gratefully recieved.

Thank you.

Jason
