"821 to 823" is not making live calls. This is what some vendors do. It allows manipulation. If trade goes well, they will say 'our target was approached, so we got in. WHAT - you didn't?" If trade goes badly, they will say they did not get in for reason X Y or Z. In addition, they get in at the best possible price and out at the best possible price. So a long gets in at 821, and out at 823 making 2 points, even if the price is at the same point they started. And they could in ACTUALITY gotten long at 823 and out at 821, and lost 2 points. Also, does the market have to trade THROUGH or just TOUCH a price? If it traded through/touched price 2-3 times, which entry (or exit) are they allowed to take? Did they take the second touch, because the first one would have lost 15 points? Without complete and total precision, posting unaudited "real live trades" leaves a lot of interpretation. Giving a band of prices for entry/exit is the first thing you need to get rid of. Further "Short trades invalidated" is not nearly descriptive enough. Without auditing the trade, the entry & exit criteria must be brutally clear, and absolutely no interpretation allowed. And the reason "invalidated" must be listed with exactly why, per the entry/exit criteria. The other traders are not seeing your screen. Saying you decided not to get in is not sufficient. Every trade requires clear, unchangeable exit criteria. Three things can happen: 1) Market traded through our profit objective (PO), so we are out. 2) Market traded through our stop loss (SL), so we are out. 3) Since neither PO or SL touched, we are out at 7:15pm today, as originally described. Again, doing this "post your trades" is subject to all sorts of manipulation and hemming and hawing. With audited trades (collective2, futures truth, striker, attain, etc.), statistics is also visible. With your way, it is not. "YAY, I made 2 points!!!" Yes, but did you endure a 23 point drawdown en route? Do you claim 90% winning percentage, when you average $100 on winning trades and lose $900 on losing trades?
