rj3's trading journal

RJ, I offer my humble opinion regarding your journal:

You aren't really offering anything with this journal for yourself or anyone else.

You don't describe your trades or why you put them on and take them off at the points you do.

You don't post charts so we can see the setups you take and why they work/don't work.

You don't describe what you did really well each day, or the mistakes you made.

Even if all you did was post a screen shot of your daily P/L, at least this journal would be an inspiration to other traders much like the P/L threads are.

But when you simply post a list of stocks and a number it's pretty meaningless.

And if you're really making all this dough, good job!!!
 
Your right its more for me to challenge myself. I don't put a lot of weight in setup's etc, order flow and exhaustion is what I trade off plain and simple. Over thinking stock trades is what causes most people to fail, in this industry.
