Any way for junior analysts to keep a track record of their long / short recommendation performance?

Is there any way for junior analysts to keep a track record of their long / short performance? My PM passes on a a lot of ideas so I wanted to keep something of a track record (for myself and future career opportunities) about how well my recommendations have done.

Any way to do this? Is paper trading the best way to do this?
