Keep five details
Write down the symbol, timeframe, indicator settings, signal time and what you understood at that moment. Save a screenshot before seeing the outcome. This makes it easier to distinguish your original reasoning from what looks obvious afterward.
Review the awkward examples too
Return to the same chart and note what happened next. Include signals that failed or were unclear, not only attractive examples. A handful of screenshots is a learning record, not a reliable performance estimate.
Make one change at a time
If you alter a setting, record what changed and why. Changing many inputs after each disappointing signal makes comparisons difficult. If your question is about TAD’s behavior, share a redacted chart and the relevant settings with Discord or support; never post account credentials.
