Well it looks like I have everyone beat. Why am I not happy? I'll be paying taxes on over $440,000 in gains.
The truth is only half of that is from trading the rest are sells of age old positions I have been getting out (at just the wrong time) of over the last 2 years. I hate UNCLE SAM

Quote from SethArb:

ok ... here is a different spin on these numbers
of those of you who like me HAD a profitable yr :

what is the worst day or days , week or weeks

and percentage of losing weeks you had in 2006

more important ... if you work in a group or prop

did your risk manager or software ever tell you

or prevent you from digging yourself into a bigger hole
in those day ( s ) that you just were "comatose" ?

I won't go into the numbers myself at the moment
but lets just say I feel like larry williams who
one yr had a great yr but in reality had a huge drawdown
that yr as well.

Largest drawdown : -30% (50 days)
Second largest drawdown : -12% (32 days)

worst day : -15% (expected -18% 1 day out of 100)
best day : +13%

worst 5 days rolling period : -17%
best 5 days rolling period : +20%

worst 22 days rolling period : -19%
best 22 days rolling period : +32%

worst 66 days rolling period : +0.4%
best 66 days rolling period : +60%

I don't really care about losses. No emotion thanks to automatisation. I look at my results only from time to time.

With 440K in gains you should hate Uncle Sam. He is going to get paid this year. However, I am sure you got the best tax att. to help you through this hurdle.
