I thought it might be interesting to see just how many people over here at FF are following/using, standard or modified versions of Joel's (aka TRT) methods.
I have been following both since October last year, only demo at the moment, and no mods on my end, just trying to keep it as simple as possible, and conservative, only risking 1% of my account balance per trade, i have made mistakes along the way, missed trades, miscalculated trades and such, but it is all a learning proccess.
I do feel that since i started following this method i have become more patient, trading on a weekly basis certainly has its advantages.
i find the hardest thing to do consistantly is keep good records, i am hopeless at that.
I am continually trying to perfect a spreadsheet that will workout my trade levels as well as record my trades.
I am enjoying my journey so far and am committed to continue with it to the end!!!!! which brings up another interesting point, just where is the end, with these strategies, just where does it end, where does one decide well i would like to use some of those lovely profits i have made, and to what detriment will it be to the journey to $100,000 in ten years?
Anyway enough of my rambleings, bring on the posters, hopefully people will put there hand up.
cheers

BTW, Im in australia on the east coast(N.S.W), be interesting to know just how many other ozzies are using this.
