Hi, great post! I have been often trading the same as you described here but since I don't have that much experiences it sometimes didn't go well. We built a page then and I added a chat window to it with which you can add youtube videos, charts, pictures and we are discussing tactics with my friends and visitors. Who would trade what and when and since then it goes better. The application is called Rumbletalk.com and you can add it on your blog as well
