Logbook Ground Rules & Guidelines

Any good plan has rules and so I believe it's important to establish some ground rules for this logbook. Not only for myself, but also for anyone who might stumble across this splattering of words, thoughts and ideas. In the end it is my intention to provide an easy flow of trading records to reference that will hopefully improve and motivate my trading as well as offer some tidbits for others to chew on. Bon Appetite.

GROUND RULES & GUIDELINES:

1. Open, honest and respectful communication
   
2. Complete, full-disclosure re-caps of my daily trades and my thought processes behind them without smoke and mirrors.
   
3. Share resources, knowledge and dialogue that will help me recall past trading thoughts as well as help and engage other traders
   

4. I welcome comments from others as long as there are no personal attacks. Constructive feedback and observations are encouraged. Keep it professional!
   
5. This forum was started for one main reason and that was to take my trading to the next level, hold myself accountable and learn to be a better trader. If this logbook turns into a bridge that connects other traders who can share information and benefit then all the better.
   
6. I am not a professional writer and don't claim to be one. I can hardly tell the difference between a verb or an adjective. I do enjoy writing and that's another sidebar of this logbook, to put my thoughts on paper. So, please no major criticism on proper English or sentence structure. If I understand what I'm trying to communicate and you as a guest get the gist of information presented, then what's the point in spending much energy on my self-proclaimed weakness? This ain't a writing class, it's a trading journal!
   
7. My trading style, methods and strategies continue to be honed and shaped into what is comfortable for my personality. It's part of the journey. I suggest and encourage no one try's to copy me (or for that matter any other trader's style). It's important to create your own trading style that best fits you. Its like trying to find a good fitting pair of shoes. It might take a few boxes to open and styles to try on, but eventually you find what feels "right" and works.
   
8. Anyone submitting comments must be registered and cannot post commercial or subscription website links.
   
9. I welcome and encourage all comments that are constructive. Whether you agree, disagree or are neutral, be respectful of others' opinions, thoughts, ideas and questions. Most of all let's have fun, grow and learn to make more than we lose! I also encourage thoughts and ideas on how I can improve this site.

Trade Well !
