With all due and utmost respect, that is an oxymoron. This is an anonymous message board. No one gives up any privacy by showing a section of their trade dome OR section of their broker statement which shows volume / contracts, symbols and results.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to remain private... in which case it might not be the right thing to post anything on a public board at all. To be honest, there is nothing inspiring about a general post saying someone made $8,500 on a $100,000 account last week. That is admirable and believable: but not inspirational.
Inspiration comes from seeing the blotter or statement with more than just a snippet $$ figure and nothing else there. Could be real, could be sim... who knows? Seeing the details of a blotter is the visual inspiration that readers can identify with. They envision their blotters = statements looking like that someday, too... which is what truly inspires anyone.
