    Yes yes the pennies doesn't matter. For simplicity i'll use say $540.

    Then you made $540 on interest payments alone for those 3 months?? (since ur trades ended up net negative)

    $540/3 = $180 in interest a month.
    But your screenshot don't even show $180 interests a month! It says $176 and $138!

    Where did the extra come from? :confused:

    the interests don't add up to $540 even considering the extra $13 of interest in the cash account.

    add these two together..There is one for each account and electric posted that back a few pages today. Apparantly the marketmaker is slow to update.

  5. Well Electric has the money in his hand?

    Would you like me to fax his check stub from the market maker when he get its (when I get it that is)?

    actually I can fax you all his check stubs....They add up to what is represented.

    perhaps the transfer of funds back and forth between the two subaccount has thrown the market maker off?

    All i care about is the balance and the checks..if they balance, I pay the taxes quarterly and must trust the Market Maker sorts tis out..if he reports a little off by a few hundred, I pay the tax anyways....don't sweatr the small stuff.

    $176.9 + $138.4 + $4.9 + $7.9 = $328.1

    The leaves the other $211.9. Does this mean your interest income in July is $211.9? That is very much higher than the other two months though.

  7. I can mail you the line by line transaction history for your complete audit. But to correct the market maker in Canada/New York will be impossible.

  9. The money is real and the balance is correct.

    Now that the troublesome topic is out of the way, I want to go back doing some work on this system.

    If we're holding the pairs NZD/USD, AUD/JPY, GBP/CHF, We already settled that if the pairs were to all go downhill we'll experience a huge unrealized drawdown:

    Pair 1 - Down
    Pair 2 - Down
    Pair 3 - Down

    ElectricSavant, I need to tap into your experience trading C&C.

    Q1) How many pairs need to rebounce to ensure we finish with positive returns?

    Will this scenario allow C&C to end positive:

    Pair 1 - Up
    Pair 2 - Down
    Pair 3 - Down

    Q2) How far does the rebounce have to be? Say your entered Long at 1.200 and the pair drop to 1.100, will a rebounce to 1.150 allow the system to go into positive? What about 1.135? Do we need a full 1.200 retrace or close to 1.900?

    Thanks for all the help so far!
