    How about throwing in a P/L, once in a while? Like at least at the end of phases, I wouldn't even ask for monthly, but that would be an obvious choice. Without accounting and specially mixing up swing and daytrades the journal is very confusing to follow and nobody knows if you are making money or losing it...

    I seem to remember posts some time ago, that your journal has been running for many years, something like 10 years, and your "tally" is a summation for that entire time period.

    Frankly, if that is true, I commend you for being able to stay in the game! But as for your stats, if the above is true, it would be beneficial to the casual and frequent reader to be aware of such information.

    Nice call. I get nervous playing reversals after such strong moves!
