    Why not just download the trades from your broker statement into an excel file or similar if you having problems tracking your trades or staying focus while in an open position.

    However, if you're trying to use a public arena to help keep you focus...best to do such in person with a few traders in an office instead of using a discussion forum. That's exactly what I did for a few years in the 90's when I had some discipline problems.

    Simply, peer pressure in person is a lot more powerful than peer pressure from anonymous folks you don't know. Just my two cents.

  5. Appreciate the advice. I dont have problems tracking my trades or anything like that. Every once in a while I take a trade I know I shouldn't.
