This gives a little bit better information:

June and July were the worst months for portfolio - keeping on both oil and gold stocks, betting on earnings. Roughly, I lost 30% of total value. Since inception (Jan 2012), the below is the P&L comparison with S&P500 since I trade S&P500 stocks and options mainly: Date...

I think people are concerned about the acquisition cost as well as ROI for lenders on their platform. Don't get me wrong, P2P lending market is going to be much larger than what it is now in long term. Btw, even Facebook dropped almost 50% before it went up 400%...

will be adding some capital to trade more actively:

Ended the month almost flat (down -0.4%):

Little change on P&L since last update:

Thanks to 'xandman' for the idea posting VaR report by IB. This is VaR report for my account that my risk exposure is 2.8% of NAV.

Great! I will run them on my account =) Thanks!

Which report do you choose at IB? I should do the same on my posts =)

Still, I have been conservative holding on high yield stocks while reducing the exposure on options.

IB report shows a slight difference in YTD return:

Still using only 20% of buying power since I'm waiting for volatility to pick up. Until then, I will be holding on high yield stocks.

After 3+ years of trading, I'm launching a small fund using the same strategy. PM me if you are interested. The fund is structured by asset management company based in Australia.

I'm happy with the performance for this year since I traded less than last year. I plan to trade conservatively for the rest of this month.

At least I covered my loss in March... I'm still closing out positions until I feel comfortable trading again.

Thank you. I have several jobs in cancer lab, peer to peer lending platform, online pawnshop, coupon website. On top of these, I am launching another startup in cardboard industry. I didn't trade much this year. YTD, I paid less than $40 in commission on $85k portfolio. Typically, I hold stocks...

Great job!

Yes, you are absolutely right on the drawdown. I could mention that it was due to the mispricing on options by IB but, there were situations where I made the mistakes so that's something that I need to work on to smooth out the curve going forward.

probably in double digits? =) I wonder how others do - I think there are many traders at elitetraders that generate much higher return than what I have.

Still in red for March...
