One of the most valuable aspects of mentorship is receiving direct feedback on your journal entries. Your mentor can add comments to any entry, creating a dialogue about your trading.

How Comments Work

When your mentor reviews your journal:
  1. They read your entry (market analysis, trade reasoning, emotional state)
  2. They click Add Comment on the entry
  3. They write their feedback using the rich text editor
  4. You receive a notification that feedback is available

Viewing Mentor Comments

Comments appear directly below each journal entry:
  • Mentor comments are visually distinct (highlighted border)
  • Your replies appear nested under mentor comments
  • Timestamps show when each comment was added

Replying to Feedback

You can reply to any mentor comment:
  1. Click Reply under the mentor’s comment
  2. Write your response
  3. Click Post Reply
This creates a threaded conversation on each journal entry, making it easy to discuss specific trades or patterns.

Types of Mentor Feedback

Effective mentors typically comment on:

Trade Execution

Entry timing, stop placement, target selection, trade management decisions

Emotional Patterns

Identifying emotional triggers, FOMO trades, revenge trading patterns

Setup Quality

Whether the trade matched your playbook, A+ vs B setup selection

Process Improvement

Suggestions for refining your trading process and rules

Getting the Most from Feedback

Be honest in your journal — The more detail you provide about your reasoning and emotions, the better feedback your mentor can give.
Ask specific questions — End journal entries with questions for your mentor: “Was my stop too tight?” or “Should I have held longer?”
Review regularly — Check for new comments at least weekly and respond promptly to keep the dialogue active.
Implement suggestions — Track mentor suggestions and note when you apply them in future entries.

Comment Notifications

When your mentor adds a comment:
  • A notification appears in your notification bell
  • The journal entry is marked with a “New Comment” indicator
  • (Optional) Email notifications can be enabled in settings
