Re: Futures Journal Log

Good call for doing a journal, I know it can be time consuming keeping it up, but it would help you loads if you post a chart for your trades as well.

Not only would it help people in the TL community, but it will be easier for you when looking back and reviewing your trades in a months time or so.

Cheers
