Re: Keeping a Journal

I have been using a new product to take notes during the day.

www.livescribe.com

Livescribe is a large pen that writes on special note paper or notebooks that have pages with location information embedded as very small hard to see dots.

As you write the pen movements are recorded in the 4GB ram on the pen. While you are writing you can also make audio notes that are recorded with the written notes. After the notes are written you can replay the audio notes by clicking on the written note.

They have a desktop application that is used to upload notes to your desktop machine and play back your audio notes. You can also export pages as PDF file or as a 'pencast' that will show your ink notes being redrawn along with your audio comments.

I am using one of their bound notebooks to record my daily trading journal entries and then upload a pdf file to my Google Group where I record all of my activity.

Good trading!

Re: Keeping a Journal

Ramora,

Thanks for sharing. I am familiar with the Livescribe -- keeping looking for a reason to "justify" getting one --- perhaps you just gave me one!

I've heard good things.

Thanks for the post.

Re: Keeping a Journal

Sell & Sell Short, one of Dr. Alexander Elder's books, outlines how he uses MS Outlook as his trading journal. I know many people are not fans of MS but Outlook works. Many successful companies organize all their activities using Outlook including mine.
