Neke's threads are the only one's that I read in this forum. Last few years I come here every couple weeks to check what's new. I just want to say that in all those comments there is essence of what's trading. From greatness of top notch advice to sorrow from witnessing blow ups. Thank you all for participating and especially neke for enabling it with his openness.
2014: The Battle for Survival

Any Update?
Updates are done monthly. Week-end following last trading day of the month.
For the remainder of the year (Mar - Dec 2014) I am re-setting targets for each strategy earlier mentioned. I am still maintaining an overall target of 100K for the year, but with some reshuffling among the strategies. I have increased target on option2 because of the current good result, and increased optimism on that end. stock4 has also got a higher target because of better expectation (in part also reflective of a good week on that strategy). I dropped option3.
Code:

GRAND TOTALS 100000 -451 100000Period Update for March 3/1/2014 - 3/29/2014 (4 weeks)
Closing my month with one more trading day left, as I will likely be too occupied next week-end with my office work.
What a spectacular month it was, up 57K (58%).
The slight return of volatility spurred strategy stock4 into tremendous level of activity, with a win rate of 68%. As I noticed the good turn of results, decided to allow discretionary averaging in on that strategy, but subject to strict rules enforced by system. Everything worked out perfectly, size of winners outpacing size of losers as well.
I should probably be revising my targets again for the rest of the year, but will abstain. I just don't want to be doing that every month, and certainly not want to jinx my next month performance by an ambitious target.
