Hi Mo06 Fair play to you for keeping this thing going for several years. Stay disciplined and focused you say - I guess you have! I have started trading the LSE also so I'm following you. How has your tradeable universe expanded over the years? And have there been any major strategy shifts?
Trading Summary Week Ended 19th February 2021 23 Trades: 5 RDSB + 112 BPS. 18 UK100 + 177 BPS. 8 long trades + 142 BPS. 15 short trades + 147 BPS. 19 intra-day trades + 282 BPS. 4 multi-day trades + 7 BPS. Total trades net + 289 BPS. Return on account for the week + 7.62 % net. P:L ratio 3.25:1. Days traded: 5. Longest trade duration: 2 days min. Shortest trade duration: 1 min. (All PNL expressed in basis points for the purpose of comparison.) Thoughts A fairly busy week's trading. Equity markets were strong early in the week, although they sold off pretty quickly. Miners made gains, with AAL, BHP, GLEN and RIO all making 52 week highs. Well above my 2.5 % benchmark. Looking forward to more opportunities next week. Stay disciplined. Stay focussed. Stay humble.
Trading Summary Week Ended 26th February 2021 83 Trades: 5 AAL + 76 BPS. 78 UK100 + 445 BPS. 29 long trades + 169 BPS. 54 short trades + 352 BPS. 80 intra-day trades + 436 BPS. 3 multi-day trades + 85 BPS. Total trades net + 521 BPS. Return on account for the week + 10.07 % net. P:L ratio 42.7:1. Days traded: 5. Longest trade duration: 4 days. Shortest trade duration: < 1 min. (All PNL expressed in basis points for the purpose of comparison.) Thoughts A volatile week on the equity market, the FTSE broke the recent high above 6700, then sold off on Thursday and into Friday morning, before rallying, then selling off to make a new low for the week on Friday afternoon. Very volatile conditions altogether. I made over eighty trades, which is busy by my standards. Just scalping the index for crumbs really. A few poor entries and exits, especially when I bought the FTSE in the early hours of Friday when the futures were pricing a serious drop at the open, then the market rallied strongly, oh well... Still, well north of my 2.5 % benchmark. Looking forward to more opportunities next month. Stay disciplined. Stay focussed. Stay humble.
Trading Summary Week Ended 5th March 2021 37 Trades: 1 BHP - 79 BPS. 36 UK100 + 52 BPS. 24 long trades - 43 BPS. 13 short trades + 16 BPS. 31 intra-day trades + 149 BPS. 3 multi-day trades - 176 BPS. Total trades net - 27 BPS. Return on account for the week + 2.20 % net. P:L ratio 1.35:1. Days traded: 5. Longest trade duration: 17 days. Shortest trade duration: < 1 min. (All PNL expressed in basis points for the purpose of comparison.) Thoughts A really difficult week on the equity market. The FTSE finished the week up over one hundred and forty points, but Friday was very volatile, with the opening hour testing the 6560 zone. The US markets seemed to be very nervous, as rates on the ten year bond crept upwards. Crude oil was strong, which tends to be bullish for the FTSE, given the size of BP and RD Shell in the index. I made a profit despite the negative results in terms of basis points, since the BHP trade was very small. Well short of my 2.5 % benchmark. Looking forward to more opportunities next week. Stay disciplined. Stay focussed. Stay humble.
