Notes
* Closing Balance = StartingBalance + Net P &L - Net Cash Movement
* Net Cash Movement is total of deposits less withdrawals. From Jan 2006 up, there has never been a deposit (just cash withdrawals).
* Return% is percentage based on P/L over the starting balance, with no regard to the timing of deposits or withdrawals.
* The periods listed here for 2007 onwards is from start of thread to start of next thread for completeness.

yes that's him. I was waiting on neke's update from 2022

Ended the year terribly. Below 100K, but working my way back. Will resume posting when its back above that line.

Thanks for posting on my thread. Your Journal got me to elite-trader, many many years ago.

Got lucky with some gold trades, most of the profit came from there and some Apple too.

Market looks over-bought for short term. I will be tightening some stop-losses.

Very large cap mostly lead the rally. Let’s see if others pick up or are we going down hill in short term.

Fed will have no apetitie for a hike after the bank collapses. We are almost there, Value v/s Growth has bottomed with Growth picking up.

Hope all have a great 2023 and even better 2024.

Regret being out for a large part of the year. My family is in a very bad place. Lost my mother to late diagnosed cancer.

Didn't trade much, and mostly protected some of my positions. Except for one which lost me about 50k, the rest made decent profit, as you can see above.

Back to where I was at the start of 2021.

I am not in a good frame of mind, and will not be trading for some time. Will post again, whenever I feel better.

Best wishes to all for the New Year 2024!

I am sorry to hear that. My condolences to you and your family for the loss.

I too have a very dear family member fighting stage 4 terminal cancer, so I share your feeling.

I also want to congratulate you on your trading skills. You are the real deal, don't give up trading.

Kind regards,
