evening update

well indeed my streak of consecutive winning weeks since the start of 2008 has ended.

being my loss for the week was only a few hundred $$$
total ... and the loss was less than 1 % it was not so bad
I decided once again to take some money off the table
and reduced my acct size by 15 % while I figure out what
went wrong or why the BOTS
are playing "ping-pong" more these days


:(

Just one week of less than 1% loss, and you are reducing size! Does your strategy call for making money every single week? Would be an interesting strategy to discover.
 
I’m feeling pretty good YTD – after an earlier slump with the market., now +$75k YTD. Swing trade, long only. Not mark to market. Carried a $40k gain over from ’07 (GLYT). Then saw account go into the red as the market fell. But have come back recently with the last rally.

HPC 0
GLYT +34k
FDS 0
JCOM 0
TNB -22k
VDSI +16k
NIHD -8k
GSOL +17k
GRMN 0

HOLDING:
HANS OXPS NOK KCI ENDP EPIC MCK WFR GLBL (+27k) about 50% cash now.

Not sure why my screenshot didn't attach

Anyways stayed short over the weekend couldn't pull the trigger at 1415 as my system said we were moving towards 1402

screenshot on monday might be a little messed up profit wise as I'm getting called away a 1400 straddle I wrote.

weekend update on my totals for last week

ended up losing $400 or 1/3 of one percent on my acct

I know this is good thing that I have been able to basically
give away more money to various people and organizations
than mr market in 2008
and I will try to remain humble and giving
( oh oh ... uncle sam in on the phone - he wants me to give too )

:p
 
Well, on Friday the website wasn't accepting posts (at least for me) - I ended the day down approx 400 usd net. The equities strat was up n down but finished positive, the futures strat savaged me and gave up all the gains. I'm making some heavy modifications to try to improve consistency on that one.

Today, my blotter page is screwed and so no screenshot again. But it's been a much better day. A couple of juicy trades in the equity strat to produce approx 1310 usd net.

Have a good night all
