Nah, just another Mulligan. He tends to update his plus 2's with pride and gloss over losses. Similar to claiming multiple position sizes but journal accounting is based on one contract. No response...
Stopped out for 37.75 pt loss. Fortunately this was at the lower 4 to 1 margin guideline of swing trading.
Conveniently omitted the above 4X day trade losses (in this recent series) -15.0 @ X4 day trade margin = -60 -4.5 @ X4 day trade margin = -18 For an additional -78 pts ES But hey, selective memory....
Trades are posted with stops so that there can be no omissions. That's what separates the ES Journal from others.
If you can take the time to post your gains quantitatively (i.e.+2), you should be able to post your losses quantitatively (i.e. -2) just as easily. Ambiguity is just another form of denial and obfuscation. People aren't going to do the math for your losses, most can't follow your posts, but you generously provide them your gains to make sure they stand out... Narcissistic trait ...
