Free trading journal template and review checklist

- ✓ Journal template (CSV, opens in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers), with 2 worked example rows (forex and futures)
- ✓ 30-trade review checklist: 35 minutes, 4 steps, one change to test next
- ✓ Works for live accounts, demo accounts and prop firm challenges
