Yo, glad to see you started a journal. It seems to me that most journals are somewhat similar to this. Post your trades, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Others will come on and comment on the hindsight action. To me that was just never that helpful. I take that back, it's not...

awesome, thanks for the help.

Hello all, I seem to recall reading of some kind of website or service that, as a third party, verifies ones trading returns so that you can prove your performance. What was it called? I can't seem to find it via google. Thanks for the help.
