It's not often (if ever?) that you see a round trip resolve equally down to the thousandths of a percent. It would have been cooler if those extra 7 pennies were equal too.

After much thought, I decide to change the format of this journal a little bit to make it more efficient. Normally I would go into my vps and screenshot the platform. I do that intentionally to show it is live (with account performance, news items, local clock, account connection, etc). QT however doesnt really update the news properly, I always have to close and reopen the window for news to refresh properly. Having to go into the vps separately just annoys me (and I've been doing this for almost 6 months!). I'm a major stickler when it comes to certains things. Everything needs to be right, efficient, and straight forward. This is how I work, how I organize my worksapce, how i play video games, and how I trade/journal etc etc. So instead of going through those steps in the vps separately: Capture the day's performance via the daily broker statement. Then using those results to update the 10k model account vs the benchmarks Showing the graphs over time. I will just show net graph this time. As someone already indicated, there's really no point of showing gross since it's irrelevant. Monthly performance via statements when they are available. I think the new format fits my goal for this journal. Maintain it for 3 years, and ultimately answer the question of whether this simple strategy can survive that long across different market conditions. New format:
