Just realised I gave only the last week's trades. TRADES TYPE Exit Date/Time P/L OPTION 2014-07-07-15-37-24 1518.9 OPTION 2014-07-08-15-58-35 2208.7 STOCK 2014-07-10-10-23-50 145 OPTION 2014-07-10-10-50-45 -3278.8 STOCK 2014-07-11-15-28-59 -975.1 OPTION 2014-07-11-15-45-10 4750...

Period Update for July 7/5/2014 - 8/2/2014 (4 weeks) A good month, up 22K (20%). Finished off the high of the month, but still a great month. Still looking for the best performing strategy (stock4) to come back to life. In its absence, option1 did a mighty bounce-back from prior poor...

Sorry I didn't tally the P/L over that period. I just assumed it was about break-even based on reading some of your reports. But it was then still very early in your trading journey. I didn't say it will be more useful. I said it adds credibility. Just imagine your PM invitation/offer to me...

NoDoji, Given your willingness to post daily for 2 years when you were at basically break-even, I am a bit astounded by the unwillingness to post daily P/L for just a month since you had your break-thru - given all the doubts/questions flying around. It may not make anybody a better trader -...

Wow, 2008 financial crisis didn't even show as a crash on that chart! It was just a mild correction!!

He will be vindicated ... eventually Nah... Nothing that has any chance of revealing strategies. And yes, it averaged down (according to rules!)

Period Update for June 6/1/2014 - 7/4/2014 (5 weeks) Another frustrating month, down 8.5K (6.9%). Big reversal week in my best-perfoming strategy : stock4. The biggest loss was $14K on 6/17. Made a quick decision to revise my exit rules, and that compounded matters on my next trade with...

Geez, you still think it would work today!

Those are some good reminiscences. I remember that NITE trade pre-market. I probably got it less than 50cents, thinking even if they had filed for bankruptcy they should be trading higher than that, and closed it a few minutes later after more than doubling. Not surprised to see it cancelled. At...

Come On, its still too early in the month. 3K is nothing between now and end of month! No, I did not trade that stock. It simply reminds me that making money thru mean reversion is 90% ability to avoid stocks/situations like that.

After a chart like this, how can anyone fade a move?

Its just a bunch of plus and minuses that evens out. Its like saying someone with $100K that trades 4million shares worth $100million each week is insanely leveraged.

Looks like your pain continues today. I've had some of that lately too.

Period Update for May 5/3/2014 - 5/31/2014 (4 weeks) Frustrating month, down 23K (16%). Disappointment in almost all my strategies. Market opportunities were few and far between, but in the meantime kept sabotaging myself trying to get trades. Will be the greatest victory for me the day...

After adjusting for the avg win (3800) vs avg loss (4200), the confidence comes down to 99.80%. Still a great result (subject to the assumption of randonmess of course)

Time decay is not an edge. It is the reward for bearing the risk of a sharp move against you. Over the long run it balances out.

Period Update for April 3/29/2014 - 5/3/2014 (5 weeks) Frustrating month, up 1.25K (0.8%). Started brightly early in the month with gains, but then the move fizzled out, and then surrendered much of the gains later in the month. We can just call it a month of consolidation, although the P&L on...

Are you preparing for a 2008-type market meltdown? Things hardly play out in identical ways.

I am only allowed to average in once (same size as original) within defined price level and timeframe. My system would close it out if it did not adhere to the constraints.
