OZ,

Does that make me a pro since I posted a nice big loser (ggg). I for one don't mind posting my trades in real time or after the fact.

P.S. I don't have anything to hide (LOL)

I really like the idea of posting previous trades on the thread. I think the thread has matured to a point that it is ready for it. I will soon consider posting some winners and losers. They say the pros focus on the losers and the amateurs focus on the winners...

Posting previous trades is a great idea, so long as there is a purpose to the post beyond simply posting trades. Especially helpful are posts that discuss why certain trade decisions were made and why the trade worked out well, or why the trade failed and how would they do if differently the next time. Also, you can ask others how they would suggest you handle a specific trade opportunity you entered, etc.

I encourage people to post their trades as a learning tool, for themselves or others. Let's avoid posting real time trades, though, since few traders have enough 'free time' during a real trade to make well though out educational explanations, which typically results in a ream of short useless posts such as "Starting to rally, Buy INTC now!". => For real time stock picks, let's stick with the "Daytrading Fundamentals - Real Time Stock Picks" thread: #Subject-29082

Thanks,
-Eric
