I know but it makes this thread more interesting, like a horse race.... Otherwise it is just a bunch of horses running....
Hmmm, I do not agree that "Trading is a roller coaster"
This idea might make some guys think, that gambling and loosing for example 50% in year is allright... Priority number one for successful traders is stability no matter what - at least for guys making money in markets that I know...
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 that strategy. Lost 5K when I could have made $3K had I stuck with existing exit rules. All in all, it was a month of regrets.
Looking forward for something better in July.

Anyhow, just to keep this thread educative, would you mind explaining the -14K day for us? Your biggest losing day shouldn't be twice as big as your biggest winning day.
And thanks for keeping this journal public and honest....

He will be vindicated ... eventually
Nah... Nothing that has any chance of revealing strategies. And yes, it averaged down (according to rules!)
Keep chipping away neke!! Forget the naysayers you have bigger balls then most to post on here!
Looking at neke's track record, if we get any kind of equity volatility, he will be making loads of money. It is a difficult trading market right now.
I wish neke had weekly updates, the monthly updates have kind of driven away a lot of followers due to inactivity.
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 performance. Generally it's the strategies that have lagged behind before now that delivered for the month. I think it shows what happens when attention is given to them. I pretty much believe every one of my strategies can deliver if care and discipline is applied. Took out 6K for the months June/July
