Indeed we need our trading plan very visible so that we can check its accountability, objectivity, consistency, and derive learning from them. If we are able to see our trading plan, it will help us in terms of information and effective decisions and since we have records of everything, we can achieve a better result in the long run.
I just realized that my trading plan isn't visible as I think it is, so I guess I need to have a closer look in it and record everything and learn from every information I can get.
I think it's only advised if we have some kind of amnesia where we can forget things easily but usually after we plan up a thing, it's already recorded in our head and we will just initiate them depending on the market condition. Also, the word consistency is I think not a written plan but it should come with us personally. We need to stay consistent on what we are doing if we want to succeed with it.
It's always better to be independent and do not just trade because you have a trading plan beside you. I don't know why but it looks like you are a student in a school who are cheating when there are exams and quizzes. That's what I see it.
