Neke, why didn't it work?

Was it just a matter of right or wrong? Or was it something related to the underlying mechanics of the market that made losing this type of leveraged trade much more easier?

What could we learn from this lesson?

Btw: I am asking because I am just trying to learn more about trading. I think you are a great trader and I hope to learn from your journal.

Neke, My suggestion would be for you to open a $10K for discretionary trading and your main account on auto-trading, that way you still satisfy you urge for discretionary trading on a smaller account.

Bitter week, down 39K (14%).

Thoroughly exhausted. I need a shower.



You need to take a "holidays" ..away from you job and trading.. go to a remote beautiful island and off you cell-phone.

come back refresh and with a new strategy ...

My 2 cents and I am pretty sure you wont listen to me, but you may remember my post later on, because I am pretty sure if you continue to go down this road that you end up with a busted account. Good luck!!!

The right decision is in front of you.

although that's the right decision, he's not going to meet his goal of 4mil by year end running only the blackbox. Personally i think trying to set any kind of artificial target is pointless.

I would just revise the subject and delete the 4million target, then leave the box running and be happy with a 30-50% gain....

We should only consider the stuff in the account as #s while trading, but sometime you gotta step back and realize they are real money and after repeated attempt at trying to throw it away, it's time to stick with the winning formula.
 
Weekly Update for week 23/50 ended 06/19/2010

Better week, up 26K (10.8%). Delighted to have made some headway into last week's loss recovery.

The better trades have been buying SPY call options on pull-backs. No big loss on my completely discretionary trades. Interestingly my automated trades delivered a very poor result of 11K loss. Break-down of trades into auto and discretionary is given below. Trades are classified as automated if the original discovery and entry of the trade was by the system. Sometimes I do interfere with the system by closing the trades discretionarily (not waiting for the system to close it) or adding to existing position. That happened to one of the trades this week, where I added to a losing auto trade, and had a net loss of 9.4K; that made the loss from automated trades (would still have been a loss anyway) much worse.


Code:
Opening Balance:                	242,879
Net gain for the week 		      	 26,257

Since Inception of Thread   01/10/2010 - 06/19/2010

Opening Balance:                   	410,000
