    Congratulations on fabulous profit.
    Just curious, you set $10000 for sock3 (Jan 14th), but how come you could have a loss of $26477 for it in Feb?

    stock3 is a strategy. The $10000 in Jan was the target profit set for the entire year on that strategy. In Feb instead of making a profit I lost 26K, mostly from one ill-advised trade (CRAY). Now the total loss on that strategy is just -2K, meaning I have recovered a substantial portion of that loss from that strategy

    I see. The amount is for the profit target, not the risk capital.
    Thanks for the explanation.

    Period Update for September 31/8/2014 - 10/4/2014 (5 weeks)

    Another great month, up 41K (26%).

    Its becoming a really nice uptrend. Stock4 is unstoppable at the moment. Also made it good from option4 after the prior month's set-back. No run-away loser this month.

    Making money in the market becomes much easier with confidence. Now I am getting more attuned to the working methods, while not pushing it on the methods that are not living up to expectations - like stock2. I hope it is the beginning of a lasting trend.

  9. I am betting that neke will be crushing it in the future if we have this kind of volatility, in addition to crushing it last month. Funny how it is deadly silent on the big up months. Where are the haters and armchair quarterbacks now?

    History proves the winners. As I said before, this guy has a proven track record of outperformance over his career, a bad year happens to the best in the biz. Keep up the good work!
