What is a "Dope Sheet?"

What is a "dope sheet?"

Forgive my ignorance, but I stumbled across this term in the book Reminiscenses of a Stock Operator [1], and I don't know what it is.

Per generally accepted Internet forum etiquette, I Googled around before posting, but the closest I could find was a horse betting definition.

Thanks,
Keith

I don't know myself, but I do know someone who can tell you, as I think he uses them every day

"dope sheets" are printed pages of past performance such as the Daily Racing Form.

The references on that page of the book are to horse racing.

Livermore used past performance and stock price habits as his guide.

Its ok, oraclewizard77. No need to feel ashamed. Anyone with any humility can look back at their past and find one instance where they behaved like a dope.
