Seems to me that was done on TSO for a while and you weren't raising a ruckus then. Actually I did and Kevin agreed, not that it matters that much. There was another point being taken back then which went to the issue of hype. Many were claiming incredible trading results, never missing on getting the best buy and the best sell. The problem was, these results were often a little imaginary. Private jokes through Email started circulating that these great trades couldn't be true, so instead of continueing the low humor I suggested those of us willing to claim a trading ability also post when they bought and when they sold as close to the time of execution as possible. This would allow others to perhaps learn why the trades were chosen during real time conditions and put a damper on simply looking at a past chart to make up a trade. But it was all for everyone learning as much as possible and sharing those ideas as we progressed.
