Are you planning to post trades in the future instantaneously and not 20 minutes after the fact?
sorry i misunderstood.....you were referring to my first post in the journal,is it not?

well yes i will be posting as soon as i make the trade
 
I assume this means you don't plan to post the trade right after entry? Then you already contradict what you said in your opening post. It would make this journal totally meaningless because you are NOT showing how someone can consistently find good entry. What you would actually show is that someone can post trades that made it into the money and omit trades that did not move into the money between the time you entered the position and the time you actually intend to post. What is the point then?

the purpose of this journal is to show that making money consistently using technicals is possible and to show that entries can be tightened to such an extent that the common belief that without risk management trading is not possible

not planning to am doing........
 
Well, then the question begs what your entire point of posting is. You waste everyone else's time by posting trades much later than they occurred. It disingenuous at best. And you waste your own time. Why not just trade without posting then...

well ok i admit i am the worst trader on the planet

why should people take the trouble of having an impression. i am not here to trouble people
 
this is 10 minutes later...sorry but this does not mean posting a trade instantaneously. Do you get my point actually? If you make money within the first 10 minutes you post the trade. If it does not go your direction you don't post. Completely skews your results, you would be lying to yourself if you omitted those trades that lose money between the time you initiate the trade and post the trade. Zero point and you don't learn anything, just reinforce bad behavior. And its just not trustworthy that you post losing trades by not posting right after you enter into the trade. Nobody knows you, why would anyone trust your integrity?

 
I am saying that you are setting yourself up for mocking and rightly so. You might throw in the occasional losing trade to contradict the nay-sayers. However, by not posting trades instantaneously you set yourself up for criticism and doubt, and rightly so. Posting delayed trades is the number one means of snake oil salesmen and fraudsters to lure the unassuming to a seemingly impressive track record. There is a reason only very few post live trades, it is because it is cumbersome and time-consuming. I would respect you if you posted in real-time, meaning, as stated, 1 or 2 minutes after entering the trade. Everything else is just gaming the system...

are you saying that trade is in the money?
