10 weeks - 100 trades

I would believe that my trades are still of positive expectancy, but I look at profit factor instead. Of course every spread has some historical expectancy as well.

 

BIDU fell so IV went up. I made on my position than I could have at this price (if closed at expiration) so closed it early. I will post rest of trades later.

 

My performance last week. Not a very good week, but I promised myself to give it 10 weeks.

Do you trade with real money? Somehow the combination of the words 'money' and 'experiment' makes me worried.

 

No. It's tradeMonster's paper money.

 

Ok good.

 

how is it going this week?

 

A lot depends on today. Most positions are past BE point. If market goes up - more profit, down - losses.

 

My results so far.
