1MM Managed Phase 2.0 Hello and welcome to the second phase of my Properly Managed thread. In this thread we will begin applying leverage starting at 2x leverage. Upon reaching certain parameters, more leverage will be employed. In the start of the thread, the target was an annual return of 10%, with an expected draw down of less than -1%. As of right now, the return is about +7% yearly with about -1% draw down. I am satisfied with the return even though it fell short of the goal, which I attribute to the swap fees that were hard to estimate. New yearly target +14%, draw down -2%. With that being said "let the games begin" Gain + 4.40 % ($44,063) Equity + 4.05 % 170/260 Win 65% P.V. $ 1,112,821

You have added a new column. The "free margin" column. But it is not distracting us from the "margin used" column, which keeps going up. It is now over $300K. Hmmm! Something doesn't smell right here, man. It never has, from the start of your thread.
In my last post I stated I was going to start adding leverage, so the Margin used has increased. At the very start of the entire thread, I stated I would be "legging" into the entire balance of 1MM. That means when I initially started - to when I was fully invested with the 1MM, the margin being used would be increasing. It's really not hard to understand, about as basic as one can get. In the top right corner of every screen shot it shows the platform margin setting which is 1:4, so if you multipy the margin used by x4, you will get my total position value which I am already showing as "P.V."
Dude, for a demo journal, I'm surprised you've taken it this far. What do you get out of this just curious?
