I posted the trade blotter to add some transparency to this thread (its a screen shot from IB TWS by the way). Its not like I am only posting winners either. I don't take any trades based on what other people post here. Just what I see on my own. This is an anonymous forum, I see no harm in sharing the occasional trade blotter.
There were several, I suppose I can understand someone wanting to hold themselves accountable through a public posting. Showing off would be a bad reason IMO.
I agree with you. The reason I posted my first one was because it was not a trade that I called live here, so I didnt want to be called out on being after the fact. I guess in the grand scheme of things none of it matters but I try to add value to this place in the way that makes sense to me.
Just don't let trades get away from you...honor your stop. The next signal is coming down the track. We don't have to like losses but they are unavoidable.
