No comparison. <br /><br />And the last thing I want is more administrative work of tracking trades that weren't real. <br /><br />But I still think -- would tracking those trades that I passed, as well as those that I didn't even see until the post-market review, be worth doing in greater detail? <br /><br />Would it really give me additional insights beyond my data of actual trades? Would it help me to better refine and grade setups and possibly learn new variations? Maybe understand when certain setups are no longer working as effectively, or vice versa? But yes, the results will all be theoritical.<br /><br />Perhaps I'll need to think about this more when my mind is not so tired and exhausted!Grove Underhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11996363914551744557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579146808262144709.post-73005879359867626612011-08-23T18:23:17.226-04:002011-08-23T18:23:17.226-04:00IMHO that will be tough.

But as we all know, paper trading is nothing like trading with real money on the line...it's easy to be clinical and follow a plan to a "T" on paper. In real life, not so easy, as I know all too well!Greg Reinackerhttp://www.rassoc.com/gregr/weblognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579146808262144709.post-28654045038847999482011-08-23T15:20:39.050-04:002011-08-23T15:20:39.050-04:00Klaorman:

But I'm thinking of setting up another account in Tradervue, and adding them there. That way, they will be segregated from my actual trades.<br /><br />That might then become my database of how well certain setups are theoretically performing, compared to my actual results. Lots of administrative work, but I think it will be well worth it the effort. Thanks for bringing it up!Grove Underhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11996363914551744557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579146808262144709.post-56954538962279702722011-08-23T14:27:12.000-04:002011-08-23T14:27:12.000-04:00Have you thought about tracking the trades that yo...Have you thought about tracking the trades that you passed up to see how well they would've done? I chart my Missed Trades so that I can see what could've been. I don't track stats on them, though.Klaormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15364749868291425931noreply@blogger.com
