Things did not go well this week.
I will adjust my strategy.
I try to choose a certain strategy or another depending on how market moves, and the result obtained.

The market is still too overbought.
At some point in the future the market will come down.
However, the question remains as to when.
At this moment, I have technical indicators to point in one direction, and others to point in another direction, which means I need to be cautious.
 
so what? you had a losing week. When you designed this strategy being of sound mind and body, you understood it wasn't going to win all the time.

traders don't lose because they have a bad system. Almost anything will break even.

They lose because they trade. They trade one winning system for another, always after a loss.

What is the most common investor mistake? Trading–getting in and getting out at all the wrong times, for all the wrong reasons. You’ve heard it before: Most investors are their own worst enemies. My dad taught me this investing axiom at an early age. In fact, Dalbar Inc. documented it recently in a report available online called “Quantitative Analysis of Investor Behavior, 2012.” Google it, and you’ll see evidence from a 20-year study.

Most mutual fund buyers, for example, badly lag the very funds they buy (and sell) because of bad timing. The average mutual fund holding period for equity or fixed income is only about three years. It’s too short. Moreover, in the last two decades, stupid switching into and out of funds has cost equity fund holders more than four percentage points in annualized returns and bondholders even more–nearly six percentage points.

The solution, of course, is to trade less.

VIEWPOINT of Ken Fisher
 
I discovered that there was a rounding problem in EXCEL sheet.

To calculate the Return I used the following formula: (Quantity*Close Price)-(Money), but to avoid the rounding problem I'm going to use the following formula: (Quantity*Close Price)-(Quantity*Buy Price).

The rounding problem has very little effect on portfolio but I have also decided to fix the previous trades.
