I have been on the fence about starting a journal because I don't think I have a lot to provide; but after reading Inletcap's post today in the SPOOs thread, I went ahead and bit the bullet.
I am a stock swing trader that picked up futures quite recently. I blew an embarrassingly large amount of money when I first started in futures. I was attempting to take what I used in trading momentum in stocks and apply it to trading futures. After losing a large amount, I took a step back and focused on the risk I was taking in my trades and decided to join this site.
I deposited $20k with Stage 5 last week to trade exclusively futures. This journal will cover some of my trades and the progress I hope to make. This will hopefully hold me accountable. I hope to include my daily and weekly reviews of my trades/progress as time permits.
