Quote from riskaddict:
Am i really supposed to be keeping track of this? I only ever paid attention to the dollars. Last year I made a whopping 42k from futures trading after commissions. +23k KC, +6k ES, +8k 6A, +7k 6s, +3k CL, +6k on CL options
-4k DX, -3k YG, -2QM, -2 zn
Wow this little exercise has already helped me. I spend 90% of my time trying to trade oil and probably make 2 bucks an hour doing it. Pretty sad
Also considering I quit a job that I could tolerate making 80k plus health insurance and free booze
Happy to see that you benefited from this exercise.
Personally, more analysis I do of my trading performance, better is my future trading performance - and I can't underline this fact enough.
I am hopeful that others will also chip in with their stats.
