APRIL = + 3.03 % Another positive month and beat the S&P 500 not by much but beat it none the less. I have decided to show a more complete view of my account, so Iâm attaching my monthly trading statements April will come later as IB takes a while to make it , I donât know why because you can view the entire month anyway now with custom date selection so thereâs no reason why It should take a few more days. I will also be attaching my updated spread sheet tracking once a month.
Account value: 43,300 $ Yesterday was an eventful day, banked 96.7 $ and have an open loss of -224.8 $ I decided to shorten the trade length as to generate more entries and hopefully a quicker turnover of positions, this might have been a bad idea as now I have more losses than I would have had, had I not changed my trading style, Iâm going to carry on with this method as I believe it will improve results on the long term and thereâs only one way to find out for sure, after all one bad day isnât a strong enough indication that a system is inadequate. There were too many trades to mention in detail so ill summarise Bought: SHW, MCD, MO, HRL, RPM, BXS, BKH, CTBI, LOW, CTAS, TDS, WRE, UBSI, ABM, FUL, RPM (again) , WGL, HGT, LSE, UVV and FUL(again) Sold: CXE, RPM, CTAS, MCD, FUL, TDS, BXS, NIE, WRE, WGL, UBSI and FUL (again)
Account value : 43,269 $ Yesterday even though the account value when slightly in to the negative (30.3)$ i feel it was a good day as the shorter term trading seems to be working better, i banked +38.3 $ and only have one position left from everything i opened yesterday, and it was at +1.17$ at close. Running open loss is (293) $ Opened: DBD, LEG, WRE, EV, CLC, VAL,IRET, TR, KO, MHP, DOV, UVV, ADC, CUZ, EGN, STR, CWT, TDS, PNY. Sold: UVV, LSE, BKH, ABM, MO, DBD, CLC, VAL, IRET, MHP, LEG, KO, EV, CUZ, TR, VAL, WRE, DOV, TDS, EGN, ADC, UVV, CWT, PNY.
Account value : 43,083 $ Taking a bit of a drawdown at the moment possibly because of over trading. There were too many positions yesterday to mention them from now on ill just mention the account value and possibly the P&L of the day.
Account value : 43,370 $ It was a very good day yesterday closed +329.7 $ account value went up +575.6 $ closed allot of positions and wasnât even in front of my computer all day, only about 1.5 hours. At one point during the day I made a new high and I probably should have closed all positions but I got greedy and thought it might go higher, but no it dropped â¦. Would have, should have , could have, sold it on the top. Any way all in all it was a good day.
