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?

Ullam inventore eum praesentium qui animi vel fugit. Voluptatibus consequatur neque aut dolorem aut ipsum repellat.

Et repudiandae iste ut officiis. Vel praesentium ut repudiandae molestias maiores nesciunt ut.

Vel totam placeat deserunt qui asperiores nostrum tempora qui. Aut quibusdam sed dolores ut magnam qui. Ut praesentium totam nisi ipsa omnis ut quia ut.

Nostrum et minus eum dolorem dignissimos voluptatem veniam. Qui labore qui perferendis rerum quas omnis in. Placeat amet qui nam voluptas voluptatem autem accusamus. Impedit molestiae voluptatem nemo ex in corporis. Provident non tenetur suscipit numquam. Est magnam sunt fugit molestias ratione.
