Good system but no one to talk to

Why Long only?

I've never run out of good long trades. I want to add shorts to my repertoire, though.

One year all I took were sells in day trading IBM and handful of stocks for short term, did far better than the longs.

The long only people last for a while........ and with the most almighty bloody shove from $trillions in QE they have had the going all their own way but the market will turn- could be anything that triggers it, but it will fall, and the long only strategy will no longer work.

No one seems to trade like I do. It's a weighted blend of trend-following and global value. Long only. 100% invested. No leverage. To date mostly commodity-related assets and out-of-favor country stock indexes. Mostly ETFs. Averaging 10 entries and 10 exits per month. It requires 20 hours per week of my time. Excellent CAGR, low drawdowns. But I only know these past 8 months. No active trading before that. I want analytical improvements and long-term market wisdom. Anyone qualified and interested in working with me?

How are things working out for you?

You are better off staying low key and just working on it on your own, from what it sounds like you are doing well. No need to muddle the waters bringing someone in who will end up mooching or sapping your energy. Over time you will get better as you hone your craft.

If you say so.
