Pretty sure I've not posted intra-day updates, but I'm happy to post every single contract of buy and sell of my 5 grander if it makes you feel better, it's not a claim, it is real, but the only person that benefits is me which is the whole point of the 5 grander, don't care if you believe me or not. Also the STTCOMP a lot of the stocks I make good money on in the 5 grander don't make the 25% in those trades but make 10%-20% which is more than enough to make good profits and compound it over time which I've done.
Key reason for EOD is also keeping any potential advantage to myself, end of the day we are here to make money and I can lose money or lose entries/exits if I start posting right after each trade, fyi there are many silent readers here that would potentially take advantage, especially when a portfolio starts getting to larger numbers or hijacking my trades.
I also have work, both trading and other work, yes posting on threads is time i prefer to use not add extra time posting to the 5 grander each trade I make, when I'd also might make more trades again later, it wastes my time and wastes others time reading constant little quick posts that offers no value. Time is money, if I'm not posting on a thread which is part of my research and helps reinforce my knowledge of a stock both FA or TA then I'm trading or doing other no market work, not going to waste time posting each trade here for the sake of appeasing a few others that it's real.
This isn't a trading competition, it's an individual educational exercise that has been very beneficial to me personally becoming a better trader. Updating trades as they go offers nothing, it's just noise. You bought at 11am, awesome, good for you, who cares? If this was a comp then sure, but it's not.
As others have pointed out it's not the trades that matter rather the benefit to the thread is the reasons, entry prices, exit prices, previous value, has it gained/lost since last update, sectors of stocks being bought.
I couldn't care if you made X profit on a trade or lost, I also don't care if you post EOD, if you're lying then you're just lying to yourself and not gaining anything from it, least of all making actual money.
Believe my posts, don't believe my posts I really don't care, end of the day it's me making money for myself, that's what we're all here for.
