At the suggestion of @timsk, I am posting a "new, completely fresh" trade posting thread. Hopefully, people will stop dick measuring and just post trades without the bickering about definitions. Do not criticize someone else unless you are willing to put up a trade, otherwise keep your mouth shut.

There is a statements thread for posting your statements (not trades).

No more of this :mad::mad::mad:

Losses are how you can learn from your mistakes. Right?

yes..but also a part of trading..for..no matter how good you get..you will have losers..part of the business

i am in the red now..but not an actual loss until i close the trades..or they expire worthless

It seems as though losers are viewed like the black plague around here. :LOL:

They definitely are an unavoidable part of the business.
 
have a feeling the markets might push lower..got my timing wrong today..mobile phone trading on days like this can catch you..lets see what happens?
 
that is because most are trying to sell something!

It is funny. Forexmospherian's trading journal is locked so that most people cannot post. He says "they don't think anyone trades here I reckon". That is exactly what I think. He certainly has a lot of fancy charts though. :LOL:

They refuse to post anything resembling a trade confirmation like what you have been posting.

It is currently down $150. It is no big deal to me. I am happy to wait. I have confidence it will rebound. It is not the only trade I am sitting on.

I have never had any drawdowns that large before. I never expose 100% of my portfolio at one time. The biggest that I had was a $3,000 drawdown. That was in 2014.
