hi James,

Yes of course. I will make a subforum under traders log that can input individual trades.

Re: Holding yourself accountable - idea...

This is a great idea but I cant help feeling that there is a whole lot more to accountability than just taking (and reporting trades).

General journal forums can 'drift' a bit but the value comes in the comments by others. 'Peer pressure' if you like. I can't help feeling that reading a dozen traders entries and exits is going to make kind of dry reading! Not sure what the answer is but I'll try and support the venture.

Of course there's more fish, but on an anonymous message board, there's only so much you can do. The next step is to pay someone to be your mentor / accountability coach.
