Sorry trendfader. I don't actually invest in everything I list here. Plus, I don't have exit points on the stocks that meet the 4% goal. That would be too time consuming for me to track right now. What I am trying to work on here is my timing and selection of trades (picking trades that meet a minimum 4% return within 5 days). I plan to practice this alot more before I move on to tracking $.
I will however keep posting the win/lose ratio, which could be used to derive an estimated of p/l.
