Why ignore, mate? 
Other people journals are interesting to observe and mb learn sth. Moreover, forum members can suggest you sth as they will see your deals and market behavior. Just don't hesitate to be open to critique and questions and everything will be OK.

I will probably be more naked than ever, so nervous
Until you see him naked and understand why his real friends refer to him as nubbyMcnub.
I want to give some information on the purpose of this journal. I am trying to be a good trader. I would like to trade a few days a month, max. Maybe 4-5 is ideal.
I am not there yet.
But what I have become decent at is the following:
1. Playbooking my trades from beginning to end
2. Occasionally following the playbook - for example, today's return was 6% on trading account even though it should have been much higher. Mistake: Trump tweets had not been considered news events.
3. Doing nothing outside the playbook.
So, the purpose of this journal is to simply post net P/L as a % on a monthly basis, starting from next month. The trading account is very small intentionally. I scaled up for one trade but I scaled back down as I need more experience. I will cover what went well and what did not go well and what changes I made.
I'll post the IB statement for the account in question, obviously obfuscating the sensitive bits.
So expect very infrequent posts to this thread.
Wish me luck. I know I can get there.
