This section is for sharing your trading journal, tracking progress, and documenting your development as a trader. It's one of the more personal sections on the forum, so keep that in mind when you're reading someone else's entries.
Basic conduct
Respect the fact that people are sharing real results, real mistakes, and real money. Don't pile on someone for a bad trade or a rough week.
Constructive feedback is welcome if someone asks for it. Unsolicited criticism of someone's journal isn't.
No comparisons designed to make someone feel bad about their performance. Everyone's at a different stage.
Promotion & advertising
Do not use your journal thread to promote paid services, signal products, or anything commercial without admin approval. A journal is a log, not a marketing channel.
Referral links get removed without warning.
DMing members off the back of their journal posts to sell them something will get you banned.
Posting standards
Be honest. A journal full of only winning trades isn't a journal, it's a highlight reel. The losses and the thought process behind them are the whole point.
Include your reasoning, not just the outcome. Why did you take the trade? What were you seeing? What would you do differently?
You don't have to post every day, but if you start a journal thread, try to keep it updated. Abandoned journals with one entry aren't useful to anyone, including you.
There's no required format, but include enough detail that someone reading it can actually follow your thinking.
Other things that'll get your post removed
Journal threads that are clearly just a setup for promoting a paid product or service.
Posting other people's journal entries or results without their permission.
Warnings for minor stuff, bans for anything deliberate or repeated.
Not sure if something fits here, message a mod before posting.
