what was your Profit/Loss this year?

I was very happy to go above breakeven this year, after severe losses at the beginning of the year. So, I'm about 5% on my account the last two weeks.

I went from a dismal loser to a modest gainer after a major change in strategy, and the runup in GLD. I use the option covered call stategy.

Made $375 just today on my $15k account.

I plan to fine tune my strategy in 2011 similar to gamma scalping, so that I can take advantage of the down moves.
 
Quote from peilthetraveler:

And another 81.7% (as of right now) for my silver holdings this year.
Silver profits are excellent for 2010. Many stocks profits are 150% or 200% for 2010. Gold profit is 29% for 2010.
 
First trade in account I report on placed 2 Aug. Close of today, up 64.6%.

I wont disclose dollars, but suffice it to say that these days I make my living trading.

Wishing everyone here to...

Live long and prosper.

Cotton prices were up 90%. How does it feel that my underwear outperformed your trading account? :P
 
$131 and that includes $3000 in fees/ commisions. Basically, I'd be up $3,000 without fees lol

This has been my most active year of trading. I have been in and out for a couple years. I plan on doing it more seriously in 2011.
 
I've been fortunate this year.

94.7% wins Year to Date
1.0085 compounded rate of gain per trade per day
3.9% average profit per trade
95% gain over last year (as of last month. New data not here yet).

Hope I can keep it up in 2011.

I do NOT adhere to the normal rules of investing or trading. Everything I do has its basis in math, not finance.

Congrats!

Starting/closing balance?
 
Amen Crater! The markets are nothing more than random number generators. If you can't see that you'll never be successful. That's being said, the best way to trade a random number generator is by using a scientific method that interprets a random number set -- statistics. The challenge with this method is the markets are non-stationary and has unit root problems. Net return for the year was 24.79%. Not a bad year. Investors are happy.
