Best "first six months" of any year during my trading career...thanks for asking.

 

[bat1]

did well till Apr.. then decided to go long lost 40%



going long are words of DEATH!

 

[billyjoerob]

Looks like the ET types like to swing for the fences . . . largest categories are more than 20% down or over 100% gains. Surprised more aren't in the 20% to 50% range.

+22% q1, -6% q2. I hate being in any kind of drawdown, and hope the markets are done being crazy.

Quote from the1:

Exactly. When I first started trading I was trading a small account and did over 1000% my first year. It was more like gambling than trading. In fact, it was gambling. Now that I trade for a living my goal is to do 20% per year consistently and it's pretty damn hard. There's a big difference between trading 10k and 10M.

I am reposting this to the correct thread

I am at 254% so far this year. But like the1 said I am at the point where my account is small, 5 digit, and my money management isnt where it needs to be. I also know my strategy isn’t scalable so I have started looking elsewhere

q1 +7, q2 +14. Not as strong or consistent as I'd like but I'll take what I can get.
