Re: Holding Yourself Accountable

Do you find the ET P&L thread useful? In what way? Its one of the few extremely well moderated ones at least. Maybe I am being dense but I cant see how posting a blotter is going to make you more accountable. Maybe I'm missing something. Today brown made 5 trades and 8 points, next day he made 7 trades and 4 points (was he over trading? hell I dunno) next day 2 trades and 10 points (was he missing entries or was that a great day...I dunno). Thursday he took the day off is that cool? Friday 4 trades all hit a -2 stop perhaps that was the best day as he stuck to the plan flawlessly?

Don't get me wrong I think its a really splendid concept honestly I do. IMVHO although a blog or a trade diary synopsis thread is a bit more work its going to pay far far greater dividends in fact I'd go as far as saying infinitely greater dividends but thats only because I think posting a blotter is pretty worthless.

Anyway keeping the thread going even if Im being somewhat contrary
