06/12/07 +161.5% Long strangles all the way. Great fun hunting. Big dependence on big intraday moves. I am back in the game with 2.4% avg. since 108 days!

06/11/07 +35.8% Risk was 20.8% of the account. Risk to Reward ratio need to be log because of high percentages. Skill was there today and experience. Trade was a strangle. I know that I have a long way to reach new tops.

06/04/07 +14.5% Operating in the back of a trend.

Avg. win per day is 2.4% since 101! days. My target is to make good trades every day and settle at a 3.0% per day result (avg.) with a minimum of time consumption.

05/29/07 +56% Creative, no longer trend fighting, good feeling for reversals, etc. - but still searching for the best way. Volatility of the account and taken risk every day, - both are way too high. Target is 3% per day with minimal risk. The right question for me to ask every day...
