I've found blogging about my trading to be a positive experience overall.
I initially kept a private journal that kept track of all my trades and ponderings on trading matters.
I deciding to give blogging a go as I hoped that having other people scrutinize my trading style would provide feedback for me to improve myself. Having things public also makes me more honest and forthright about my trading activities. I write about the good and the bad.
I'm also a techie at heart, so I enjoy tinkering about with the behind the scenes aspect of the blog. Keeping the software up-to-date, adding new plug-ins to provide additional features to the website, etc.
It's also nice to know that maybe other people are getting a benefit from what you write and do. If my triumphs and failures can help other people on their road to success then that's a pretty nice outcome.
Even if you decide not to blog about your trading, make sure that you're keeping a private journal!
