Fully automated futures trading

Hi GAT,

Great journal, have you ever posted a more up to date graphic equity chart.
The one in your opening post was from April 2014 to Feb 2015.
Would be nice to see one from April 2014 to say the end of June 2017.

There have been other charts, though I think the last one was in April 2017.

I'll try and post one at the weekend

Why is that? Or are you talking specifically in the context of your particular strategy?

Extremely horrific negative skew.

And in general, I like to use the second contract if it's liquid, so I can use the correct formula f(second - first) to calculate carry.

It's been quite a choppy few months. The period started well before a horrendous few days in May (discussed earlier in this thread). However performance then rallied and the system set a new HWM at the start of June.

Although I focus on my accounting period performance (UK tax year, starts April 7th) the YTD figure is also interesting. In this case they're both the same - I'm up about 11% since January 1st.

Risk is running at 14% above average, based on current capital.

I'll be going on holiday in a week or so. As in previous years I intend to leave my system running.
