trading update

yesterday was very good. we're about to hit the first level of compounding. june was a very sideways month. i'm hoping we have a hectic month or two which would build just the kind of foundation we need under this thing.

trading update



right, so we did about 1.5% for the week. what's really important here is the draw down. we gave up about 5% of our profit in 3 days, or 1.6% a day. so from a sustainability point of view we can in affect take 20 days - a full trading month - of this and still be in business if these are the worst conditions we encounter. our pain was caused by the market conditions in the chart below. the question is how often and how long? do i think it's acceptable in terms of survivability? i think so yes.

trade update

ibfx went and consolidated my history. i've decided to take this EA live this week. so there's not much point in continuing this specific set of results, but for time being they'll just keep reminding me i'm winning. for the live account i'll print my statement live to the web, which means it'll never be older than 5 minutes and since it comes from the server never interrupted. i'll post that link when i make switch.

trading update

right, i think we cracked that rather convincingly. having a period of over performance, so we should hit a patch of non performance soon. i would expect to draw down back to $3000 to establish the new base for us. the trade sizes are probably a bit on the large size considering the equity swings, but i can live with it, a draw down of 30% at some point should be expected at this pace though...

trading update

not much happened overnight. hectic whip on eurnzd there which caused that last down tick. positions remains mostly the same, about 3% unrealized. i expect dollar strength to resume today, so hopefully we'll bank some later.



and now i'm off to breakfast, coconut noodle soup none the less.
