@Baron is it possible to create a Journal where only OP can post Trades. ( to verify beating of the Index)
I have found that if you start a journal and post your trades in real time that most people will leave you alone. Post winning trades in real time and no one has anything to say. You will have the thread all to yourself.
What's the point of starting a discussion thread if you don't allow any discussion? It's like you're just talking to yourself. There have been members in the past who started journals and got trolled by another member or two, and in those cases the trollers were definitely banned from those journal threads, but in no way was a journal thread ever started that rejected all replies. And as @deaddog said, if you post the trade you're getting ready to make, and THEN execute it after you announce it, there's really nothing anyone can say other than commenting on the final outcome.
Not for a discussion, just to prove something lol. All good, it was after someone abusive challenged me.
