How about posting an update at the EOD with a few comments about the days price action. You can focus solely on your trading during the day and then review your activity at EOD.

5T: 2W +1.3R, 3L -3R result -1.7R
Huge moves after the US retail sales number knocked me out of a few trades. Must keep an eye out for the US news. Don't start trades before the news or reduce risk before news.
Tried to pick a few bottoms and ended up with dirty fingers. My results are better when I trade with the hourly and 4H trend.

Stuff like this is more educational than short posts that have none.

Charts are good. Now I can see that your swing trading Heikin Ashi charts.
I like them also because they reduce the noise a little. They're awkward in that they don't portray the actual OHLC prices.

People will follow along with more interest when you include regular updates on your progress.

Hi peter2 I am glad you noticed the Heikin Ashi chart, I only use it and ATR.
I am not really swing trading, actually trend trading it only looks that way.

Ok yesterday's result is 1.03% realized return.

We all trade the markets with our beliefs, if our core belief is wrong then becoming a consistently profitable trader is practically impossible.

Ok , so far live trading (demo) I have had three consecutive day's of profit.
2.85%, 3.51% and 1.03%
but at this stage of forward testing it may be a wining streak.
