I decided to start a diary of my own for a few factors. They might become apparent as I post more.
The main reasons are though... a) I have sufficient time to between trading b) I've had enough of the b/s hindsight trading from other people, and who I refer to as FTs (Fantasy Traders). C ) Allows me to express my own views
the majority of the threads and also the majority of traders are rife with crap hindsight, with just one or two exceptions. Whilst I might not agree with a traders trade, I will constantly respect a' transparency should they post their trade in real time, and someone like Steve Patt is among the few examples who always fulfils that criteria at least.
So, as you can tell, my rule beef and purpose for starting this diary is due to dis-trusting anybody who posts trades after the event.
To prevent that in this diary, anybody (no exceptions) that decides to post a trade needs to post a chart, and it must include details according to my example attached. Here is the number 1 rule. Failure to comply won't be tolerated, and will be placed immediately on discount it is as simple as that.
In addition, I am not considering any chart comprising an oscillator as an indior, and I am not considering cluttered charts, and they also will be dismissed.
I am not out to teach anybody how I trade btw so take note, that's not the main intent of a journal so far as I am concerned.
As a result, in concept, just genuine traders fulfilling these initial main rules will post trades and I don't expect many (if any) will.
Here's a Gold trade on Daily that I am involved right now.
