55% annualized. Levered in stocks and options. Although I beat the market, my Sharpe ratio was less than the market.

-50%. I am not an elite trader.

Sorry about your setback in 2017. Let's hope you have a profitable 2018.

32%, but 2016 sucked (close to zero), hoping my strats are getting better

55% annualized. Levered in stocks and options. Although I beat the market, my Sharpe ratio was less than the market.

Who cares about Sharpe when you achieved 55% gain annualized?
