Weekly Update for week 1/50 ended 1/17/2009
Ugly week, down 19K (6%). Not exactly how I wanted to start the year.
The major setback was on Monday when I tried to fade the sell off. Too leveraged: kind of forgot I have no buffer, as I was starting with a fresh capital base. Tried to come back later in the week on reduced leverage. Really putting in a lot of work into deriving a formula that should govern my leverage. It should depend on strategy, historical performance of strategy, buffer above starting capital, and recent performance of strategy.

Opening Balance: 320,064
Net gain for the week -18,534
