# Weekly review routine — 30 minutes, once a week

Pick a fixed slot after your last session of the week. Same slot every week.

| Minutes | Step |
|---|---|
| 0–5 | Clean the journal: every row has an ID, setup name, team score, risk verdict, rules_followed and result_r. Fill gaps from your memos and debriefs. |
| 5–8 | Export the week's rows as CSV (or copy the table). |
| 8–15 | Fresh chat, the Weekly Reviewer prompt. Paste the rows and last week's memo. |
| 15–20 | Check two numbers yourself: trades taken, and the count for "the rule I break most". If they don't match, fix the rows and rerun. |
| 20–25 | Pick **one** change for next week. Write it in your rules file under "This week's change", with the date. If it changes a number in your risk sheet, change the platform setting too. |
| 25–30 | Save the memo with the week in its name. Rewatch one trade where you broke a rule, with the memo next to it. |

## Once a month: the team review (20 minutes)

After the fourth weekly review, open a fresh chat and run the Monthly team review prompt with the month's rows and the four weekly memos. It goes through your rules one by one: how often each applied, how often it changed a decision, how often you broke it. At most one rule is retired or rewritten and one added or tightened. The daily stop, the per-trade maximum, the bracket rule and Part C of the risk sheet are never up for retirement.

## Rules for the review
- One change per week. Not three.
- The reviewer describes behaviour. It doesn't redesign your strategy. Strategy questions go through the playbook method guide, with far more trades than one week.
- Fewer than 20 trades: the numbers describe the week. They don't prove anything about your edge.
