entering my daily trades for my trading journal is already time consuming as it is. why would someone post their journal here if they are profitable? is trading a charity? are they doing it because of the goodness of their heart? lol.
I agree. I think that the first phase of journaling is about gaining superficial recognition to counter the feeling of uncertainty that the market evokes. But I think people slowly realize how personal the journey is so they stop seeking external acceptance and learn to believe in themselves and what they are doing. That is when peripheral opinion no longer matters and then like you said....why bother?
