    I looked at every one of your screenshots in this thread. Not one single buy, sell, entry, or exit indication is present.

    There also was no text in the attached post that said to the effect of, if not in these exact words:

    "HEY GUYS, GOING LONG HERE, RIGHT NOW. HERE'S A SCREENSHOT."

    Anyone can post screenshots of charts with a line or several on it. Then later say, "SEE. THAT'S WHERE I WENT SHORT/LONG ... I POSTED A SCREENSHOT WITH A LINE ON IT TWO DAYS AGO."

    Remember when I posted your list of stocks and targets, and one of your targets was hit, and you told me that you didn't actually enter that trade.

    It's too wishy washy if you don't clearly make a call. I'm not saying you have to trade it in a real, or sim account, or screenshot your statements. The purpose is to see how well you can use your lines to make accurate trade calls.

    I truly want to be amazed.

    It's really simple. Again: Simply say when you entering, and when you're exiting, near realtime. Whether you do it once a week, or once a day ... time will tell the truth.

  2. Opened CAT short here, right now, as evidenced by screenshot.

    Ok, thanks. But this is my official tally, and why:
    Code:
    XLU was called ex-post facto. Not including it.
    BIDU no definitive entry call made in this thread.
    TWTR no entry call made in this thread.
    AAPL no definitive exit call made in this thread. Including it ... considering the chart and timing.
    --------------------------------------------------
    DIR.  INST  ENTRY    CURR    EXIT    RESULT
    SHORT  AAPL  124.85  120.71  123.80  +

  5. The BIDU, AAPL, and TWTR had screenshots of the options entries though, not merely charts.

  8. I don't know how to do the table like you're doing, but I can put it in Excel and post them as attachments, along with post numbers, for easier viewing of entries and exits. Is that ok?

    I just use a code block. It's monospaced so I can line things up. You can try excel if you like...seems like more work. If you do use excel, you should post a screenshot also, so people don't have to download and open spreadsheets to read it.

    Code:
    this is the code block pictured below

    EDIT: I just copy and paste the old table to update it with new trades.

  10. Fair enough. I'll just post the screenshot of the excel. However, a problem is that although I called out the specific exits for the winning trades, I did not do so for the XLU losing trade (I had on a different forum but that doesn't count); the W/L would not be representative if I only included those. So, I shall simply ignore the prior calls and start next week, unless someone has a better idea.

    EDIT: it will look like the screenshot attached
