All journals are going to be useful to someone, profitable or not ( how not to do it ). Keeps you honest and gives you some read back material when it starts going wrong. Useful to you is the question?
If you post those trades before or at the moment you take them, or at least post screenshots at the end of the day of the trades you took and the PnL you made then the journal would be very transparant and nobody could say you are faking.
By the way....I have been a big fan of M1 Finance to trade equities with. But how did I know how hard it was to transfer out until I tried? I have been waiting since 05/09/19 for the transfer of funds over to Millennium Trust Company to trade Futures with. It is not Millenniums fault either as they have been very persistent. The way that this is going I predict I have another 2 weeks to wait. That gives me time to get used to posting trade calls here in this thread. Then when it is real money... over to the Journal I go. Ok? I will try and post them the same way here as I will in the Journal. I may be only able to get them posted 5 minutes before and I cannot edit the post as it will change the time stamp. I do a lot of editing as you folks have probably figured out but you will get the timestamp before the trade opens. I have learned not to expect too much and get too impatient when depending on others...but I must admit this transfer thing is making me angry. Es
