    Took a look at some of your trades. some of them don't add up. I found several problems with your posted trades: (1) You posted trades at opening prices that differed from actual opening prices. For example, you say you bought 100 TELK at the open on 12/14 for for $18.98, but the true open was $19.80. Then you say you sold CRN at the open on 12/20 for $15.35, but the open on 12/20 was ~$15.03 and the high of the day was $15.20. There were many price discrepancies like these, all to your advantage. (2) None of your trades were posted in real time. All were posted hours later. No one should believe you if you can't post in real time. It's easy to pick your price when you're not posting them in real time. Posting in real time, or within a few minutes is easy. You only averaged a trade or two a day, so it wouldn't have been that hard to have posted in real time.

    Until you post in real time with accurate numbers, no one should accept your results.

    the telk trade was on 13/12 and the open price is correct according to my chart
    CRN opened 15.02 on 20/12 as you point out
    As far I can see most of the trades is called before the entry/exit
    which should be better than realtime, everyone can check for themselves what fills you can get at the open

  3. All of my trades posted here on the journal where posted before every open you can check the time of each post.

    This system is not an intraday trading system.

    The trades posted here have all been marked clearly to enter or exit on the next opening price.

    transferring the data onto the website to make things as clear as possible took some considerable time and effort, if there are any small unintentional errors I will refer to the journal here as you can do and correct them.

    On the journal here you can see I have no intention of making up trades and price's.

    Thank you for your input, I welcome any more comments that can help me improve the way I post my trade's.

    Please continue to follow my website, I am enjoying updating this journal.

  4. To clear up the TELK trade.....

    Quote from journal post top of page 2 Please note the time of the post is 8:15am in the morning before the open and the recommendation is to BUY ON THE OPEN!

    The open price for this day was $18.98 not $19.80 as you suggest.

    Please read the journal properly before trying to put people off.

  5. To clear up the CRN trade for you......

    You where correct in pointing out the genuine mistake with the report of the sell of CRN I will correct this in the performance section of the site.

    Not that it will make a great deal of difference to the bottom line.

    I will be happy to clear up anything else you can point out.
