Make your portfolio review repeatable.
Use the same questions each time you revisit your records.
A consistent review routine helps you distinguish a change in your records from a change in how you are viewing them.
Check completeness first
Confirm which accounts and transactions are included. Note any records that are missing or awaiting an update.
Use a stable view
Keep labels and groupings consistent between reviews. Write down changes to your classification so later comparisons remain understandable.
Leave a short record
Record the review date and the items you need to follow up. This is an organizational process, not a recommendation to trade.
