Put another one in the "no trade" column.

Going to 25% OTPIX position for tomorrow.

Cash is STILL King. No trade.

No trade today.

I haven't yet built a module that provides performance metrics at given risk levels. (Damn these homespun strategies!!) I'm trading on the basic assumption that an Average Market Exposure of < 1.0 WILL manifest itself , over a sufficient time frame, in a lower risk profile than the benchmark...

I'll need to adjust position sizing upward to attain my stated annualized goal of 25-30%. Risk is going to ratchet upwards a bit going forward. I would say that the sizing used in January's trades would be acceptable for "conservative" investors. As far as the returns go, January was very...

Steady as she goes. No change for tomorrow.

Going to nudge the position up to 100% long @ today's close.

You are attributing two different emotions to the same phenomenon: specifically, experiencing a drawdown. I don't see a lot of sense in that. I go short to make money & I go long to make money. When it doesn't work out, regardless of the directionality of the trade, I'm not all that...

There was no trade today. The crystal ball is a little hazy.
