Well, that was a real head fake with futures opening up over 1% last night, but closing down over 1% today. Now glad I went flat Friday. I am down $300 on HAL, but still feel good on my overall entry. I added stocks in the S&P midcap index, so now I track about 900 stocks and ETFs.

Here are numbers for the year. Beginning July 1, I will start collecting new stats based upon a starting equity of 100K. Obviously, I am experiencing sizable drawdowns, so I may need to execute systems overrides on occasion. I certainly don't expected the gains to always be steady, but I am still seeking better answers for bearish conditions, and for when I need to be switching gears. Upping my hedge when drawdowns first begin should help.

It was a respectable week for me considering the major selloff we had. My system gave very few buy signals before the downtrend day Thursday, so I was net short the market using a discretionary SH trade, but not with much size to have a big impact. I took a 200 share discretionary gold trade this morning with UGL. I'll hold it over the weekend, as I see a potential turning point in gold. I don't think being long gold is always long equities, so net long exposure is probably off.

Quote from hoop121:
rol,
what program are you using to run all of your stats like that?
Hi hoop, most comes from Tradestation. I created a macro using Autohotkey to export the performance report to Excel, and delete the rows I don't find useful. Some are calculations created by me within Excel, such as per share profit (idea came from Lescor's journal), expectancy (EricP), correlation (Heech), and the section at the bottom. I got the idea to put it in [Code] format for easier reading from Neke's journal. I would highly recommend to anyone that does repetitive keystroke and mouse tasks to use the free Autohotkey program. I added net long exposure recently to help monitor hedging both automated and discretionary.

My gold trade turned out to be a nice hedge for today. I will trail a stop. Net losses on my other positions are $166. Biggest unrealized loss is ADM at $140 on 158 shares. I got the urge to place a 1000 share position in SPY this morning, but it didn’t feel right. The usual script is to tank Monday then revert later in the week. It would be better to wait another day or two for the selling to subside.
