good idea! the thought of writing in the journal prompted me to go over some of my trades today, and i noticed something important. looking forward to march! i'm writing in "maisie's journal".

Contest starts tomorrow. Sometime late tomorrow or possibly Friday I will update this thread again with a list of all the journals that I see as active. You can feel free to post links to your journal in here as well.
Tip
Remember, the futures.io (formerly BMT) members will decide the winners of the contest. So keep your journal inviting and answer questions that people ask. I also know from the past that Video journals are quite popular, so if you want to do a video journal or a post with a video in it every now and then, I highly recommend it.
You can use free software such as Camstudio (not Camtasia, which is not free) to record your screen without limitations, then upload the file to YouTube and embed the YouTube video to your post (click the word YouTube for instructions on embedding). Another option is Jing (google it) which is also free, but has a limit of 5 minutes and the videos cannot be embedded. For this reason I recommend against it, as hardly anyone will click and watch a non-embedded video.
Same...to be eligible can someone still working on their strategy/plan participate? Must one post actual trades taken every day, can one not take any trades on some days, or can can journal entries consist of other progress towards trading goals?
I'm not really going to say one way or the other, because the winners will be selected by members and not me. But I think that you need to be trading one way or another daily to keep the journal active, so I will leave it to other members to decide. Just create the journal and you will be included in the list of people.
Any good journal, if it aspires to be instructive at all, MUST start with A PLAN.
Without a plan there is no ability to monitor performance, and with one there is a guaranteed destination at the end of this journey. Without a plan there is no …
(especially if you are in red :-) )
I look forward to enjoying this journaling.
A BIG thank you to Big Mike for taking this initiative and for everything!
(Especially Especially for hosting Al Brooks seminars - unforgettable opportunities, so I joined in from 1:30 AM to 3:30 AM from India)
Thanks, and hope to have a lot of visitors take back something of value from my postings.
This is a first time journal prompted by Big Mike's March challenge. I've been trading for about a year using Al Brooks price action methods - results so far have been inconsistent, mostly due to lack of discipline in following the plan. Hoping …

My goal is to take $20,000 and move it to $50.000 by the end of the month, LOL!
