FALSE!
The only reasons to post a journal on a public forum like this are the following...
1. You wish to brag and attempt to suck people into a scheme that you are formulating.
2. To simply show what you are doing and are doing so with no ulterior motive. You are just being generous with your time, and are attempting to help others generate trading ideas based upon your own examples of the trades you have made.
3. To simply show what you are doing with your trading, to request feedback from other traders who may help you along your journey if ye be struggling.
If you wish to record your trades, it does not have to be done on a public forum. You can do that yourself.
Posting your trade journal on a public forum is serving a purpose you think will impact the public, i.e. OTHER PEOPLE.
Flom.
