No you are not missing something. There isn't a report of it until after the event.
But then again I suppose this shouldn't be surprising. For some people trading is still about ego and posting whatever makes them look good after the fact is one way of satisfying this need.

err, i hope the 7 fig sum i have in my spreadbetting account isnt " phantom "
and if youve gotta spare $840,000.00 ish - maybe you could buy my IMM membership off me (the day job) - and when i can be bothered getting off my lazy ass and going to Chicago (if you knew how cold it gets you wouldnt either), my
trading floor badge is Green) - !!
(im bored of work FULL STOP)......... !!
If you ever plan on going to Chicago, best not to mention 'spreadbetting' on your resume.
As for all your other claims, we are all millionaires here, did't you know that? The only difference is, we don't shout about it.
Posts like yours make me tired to be honest...

I'm sure you know what you're looking for or what you're looking at, at the time you supposedly took that trade. But if you can't post them "real time" there's little use in posting them at the end of the day.
What you could do - if you truly are as good as you say you are - is show us some charts and movitation as to why you took an entry here or there. At least that way, some people could learn from others. In case you weren't aware - and since you've only been a member since recently one could be forgiven - this site is about learning and sharing knowledge.
Good trading to you.

Its not a case of being " bad or good " (im more concerned about placing stops correctly than chasing profits as it goes)
I personally think a methodical/calculating type trader is a better trader than one who " slam dunks " trades all the time anyway) - it just is what it is - id like to think everyone is in it for the learning and experience - ill be honest - a lot of the technicals i see on here are awsome -
but i just dont use them - i know loads of floor and screen based traders that SWEAR by
degree level pure mathematical calculations - theres even a spec who works on the NYSE who goes out and plays the DIDGERIDOO on the pavement when the markets slack - (dreds included) - i kid you not...!!
i learn off EVERYONE on here as it goes - (but im a scouser and some people would say i have yet to learn English - never mind numbers)
Ill post my trades in real time sure -(but you might get a bit bored by the lack of/length of em).... (if i can put the stop in the correct place - ill take the trade - if i cant i wont) ..!!
Great trading to yourself of course.. !!

if its a spreadbet
1) I trade off a DAILY chart
2) I put the stop in the CORRECT place - (USING THAT DAILY CHART) - !! - (which will be big compared to most peoples regular trades) - (and their usually quite small because of this)
3) I try (with my small un technical mind) to always try and remember the bigger picture
4) Im not in it for 20 points here and there every 2 mins - its NOT a judgement - just more my style of trading..
5) I follow candlestick charts - JUST a preference - thats all - !!
If your asking me for something to motivate others - i would say - (and its so overlooked) - is work on YOUR DISCIPLINE and PSYCHOLOGY...... !!
(the run on NR is prob the BEST example of herd behaviour we will EVER see) -
Im sorry, i just like to work on those aspects as opposed to working my way through masses of technical data - thats just me - !!
