While it builds accountability and forces you to plan your trades clearly, it often triggers confirmation bias and ego-driven pressure, making it harder to accept a small loss when a setup fails.

If external peer pressure stops you from cutting losses, your account can suffer.
Many traders prefer a private journal to keep emotions out of execution. How do you handle public accountability without letting your ego interfere with risk management? Let us know below!
