    Down a little over 2%. Less than half of "that" November day. Not just energy, but all commodities in my limited instrument universe.

  2. Obviously a mistake to bring this up, but I made 2.5% yesterday and a few bps this morning.

    Always feels weird when the portfolio is positioned pro-bad news, and you find yourself thinking you'd wish there would be a war or something...

    I am developing a risk overlay which closes my positions when someone on this thread relays joy on their account curve uptick. Obviously scaled to reflect the level of joy expressed (20 = flat portfolio).

  4. Manual, or do you scrape the web page every few seconds?

    I wonder if Alexander Hamilton had his trend-following portfolio in mind when as a kid in 1769 he wrote "I wish there was a War." https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Hamilton/01-01-02-0002

    Scraped of course, you taught me the value of automation ;)

    I imagine that it has been a couple of good days for pure trend following systems, they have been very good for me. I'm too fully aware, though, that with just one political decision, the good days could have been reversed, and we'd all be crying into our pretzels.

  8. Another 2.5% at pixel time. Drawdown less than 1% now. I can taste the HWM, it's so close.

    Global equities down 2.5% so if my mix was 50:50 I'd be perfectly hedged. It's not :-(

  9. Expected risk is below target, so these are big moves

  10. Made some more money over lunch. Drawdown now is just 0.22%.

    If you're bored of the live feed of my performance, go and watch some paint dry or something.
