2014: The Battle for Survival

[Pekelo]

(And by the way, you are UP 25% for the year,

You may want to redo your math: (hint: divide by 10)
Cumulative P/L: 2,432

Did you mostly play the long side or the short side during this 3-month period?

Probably balanced on the long and short sides

He is dead, Jerry, dead.

He is dead, Jerry, dead.

I think the update was late last quarter, also. I don't think neke is motivated to update if it was another losing quarter

Let's wait a couple of weeks before declaring death to the thread

He is dead, Jerry, dead.

Don't you mean Jim?

 

[neke]

He is dead, Jerry, dead.

Now you can laugh, right?

Like posted in the last update, the losses continued after the period ended June 2021. Now firmly below 100K (the poverty line). In accordance with my earlier rule, no more updates until the balance goes above that level

I believe that is a mistake. I had a rule similar to that in my head, where I told myself I would not post any more journal updates until I gained back what I lost after a big hit. If I stuck to that, I would have been out for ages. I think posting updates regardless of a goal-line has helped me mentally.

Think upon that.

No, this is actually the most depressing journal on ET.

ET calling @neke.

How was your first 6 months of 2022?

Markets have been pretty good for traders recently..

No, this is actually the most depressing journal on ET.

Most realistic journal, posting long down periods, not just the sprints.
