I was just trying to post a message to my journal. In the preview post mode the message displays OK. When posting, the message is truncated? I tested this twice to verify. Post was initially written in MS Word. It was converted to notepad to eliminate any hidden code that may affect the formatting. All previous posts were using the cut / paste method using MS Word.

Baron, The truncation issue is a problem. It just happened to me twice while trying to post. -river EDIT: Now five or six times, I don't know if it makes a difference but I was copying my post from a Word document I had composed earlier this morning. The post was truncated each time just after the first word in the second paragraph.
I'm just curious why you guys are writing posts in MS Word and then pasting that into the editor. MS Word has over 20 characters that are not in the character set used by web browsers.
It doesn't really matter. If copying a post into another post, the same problem presents itself. Or did. Ditto if the post is "quoted". However, I haven't seen this for a few days, so it may have been a temporary glitch in the updating process.
Baron, Trading is a higher priority to me than posting. I often compose a post in Word while I'm in a trade or waiting to take the next trade. I don't know ahead of time how much time I'll have before taking the next trading action. Using Word allows me to avoid losing a partially written post to the "timed out" feature. Sorry, I didn't keep the original Word file from earlier today, I deleted it right after I retyped the whole thing into the message editor. -river
Baron The attached notepad document contains the latest post info for my journal. The message is still being truncated. The message looks fine in the Preview Post mode. TBA99

Intraday trading was positive across all stocks. Execution of the strategy is still being fine tuned. Better long term entry points, the use of trade stops in more risky trading situations, and trading a wider variety of stocks (that meet the trade criteria) are objectives for the upcoming weeks. The number of trades on the losing side is also expected to increase as stop loss trades and profit locking trades are used more frequently.
