Since it is conventional wisdom that you learn more from your losses than your winners, you should just post your losses. That way we can maximize our learning while maintaining the integrity of this thread.

hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe Glad to see that you kept to your word and "brought out the Big Guns this week." You really knocked 'em dead killer. Keep up the good work!!!!
Faster P Cat..... don't apologize for anything. If you're executing winning trades, that is your first and ONLY obligation to yourself. Most people post for ego's IF they're successful. I've traded for 6 years now and post only for educational purposes because I know how much I lost learning this "game" and want to help in any way I can to pass along my mistakes. It amazes me some of the comments people throw out about real time posts when they can't manage their own trades, let alone spend time posting their trades real time. Everyone needs to lay off of the members posting their journals and take them for what they're worth. If you don't like the speed or question the validity, then DON'T follow the thread. Now, if you're positioning yourself to be the day trader who knows all, then you need to back it up with fact and facts only, but Faster P does disclaim his routine and obligations while trading. So everyone else trade like you normally do and spend more time researching your plays instead of thinking about "clever" (and I use that word very loosely) remarks to post and boost your trading ego while you find someone else that stepped up and attempted to share their thought process. Most of you guys are fair and knowledgeable about trading but the few of you that continue to post non-sense needs to stop. Spend your time learning TA, reading market commentaries and books, and learning RISK MANAGEMENT. By no means am I bragging but watch my trades and look at how I read each stock that I play. Look when I close out, especially at a loss. I don't get flustered and whipsawed out.... for the ones who actually pay CLOSE attention to the trades that I close at a loss and study the charts, you will learn and save more money than spending your time talking trash. Like I said, this doesn't apply to most of you, but the few (probably college students or recent graduates, I know because I was there not to long ago) should greatly appreciate this learning experience! I could keep typing but I'm out for the night.
