Puddles, if you look at your best months and worst months, are you able to draw any conclusions to explain them? JS
i know there's a summary you posted but I can't see how much money you started with and how much money you ended with. is there a simple net PnL number somewhere?
No idea if Puddles wants to disclose that.. however,if we apply Geez's "numbers" as stated at the beginning of this thread: total number of trades: 630 $ tot commissions : $ 8820 slippage calculated with 1.8 R/R instead of 2R/R $ tot winning trades : $ 100800 $ tot losing trades : $ 70000 $ profit : $ 21980 Im pretty sure you could have traded this with a $ 50k account... that's about 44% ROI in 8 months , 66% in 12 months. Anything above 50% a year is outstanding IMO
i have no plans of ever disclosing my actual p&l but thanks for doing this example. to answer what i think rosy was asking. geez won his bet and was closer to 100% on the year than 50%.. a few points about my trading.. - my max loss per trade is less than geez's (for now) - i'm not crazy enough to use scottrade and pay significantly lower commissions than he did in 2009.
My swing trading blog (ideas, trades and live online journal), affected by geez + puddles. Thank you boys for sharing your ideas and knowledge.
Hows about an update ? Any new bets ? I expect your trading improved immensely with so much money riding on the result. Did you keep improving ?
$8800+ on commissions is ludacris....I have made close to 200 trades since February in my Robinhood account...saved $1400+!!!
