Hmmm, never heard of that Drupal book. What is that?

I personally learn so much from each trade (if it fails) that I think I am over documenting it. I just think that if I end up with a log of hundreds of trades, with barely no info then it is useless to me. I am even thinking of making a simple journal or diary type log that only list trades that failed and why since I know why the successful trades worked. Things like overlooking the news, or not looking at the daily/4hour charts to see the true trend which got me a few times this week since the 15 min chart showed bullish but everything else showed Bearish which is where it went .

Thanks for your comments and I look forward to your BLOG since I believe you can learn the most from other peoples failures/successes).

What is funny is that some day, maybe 5 years or so, is that I expect to have to mentor my friends who are only interested in this if I make $$$.

Wish I had a mentor, besides babypips because it would make things so much easier than learning gradually on my own with the help of all the websites I use. (I actually have only been using babypips the most since I think it is more personal). I am getting too winded again!

Personally spreadsheets I find lame.

Once I get 50 posts ill give my forex blog a plug once and awhile so you can see what the hell I am talking about.
