It's from the MT5 report, from jan-nov 2023. This is the full year jan-dec 2023. Take net proft-balance you'll have what my cost basis would be for the year. It's about 89% gain for the year. I think next year would be closer to 50% because I think there will be a lot less issues (hopefully)
Ok full year review: Balance end of Dec 2022: $10359.26 Added: $2500 (Jan) - top off after shitty performance Added: $8000 (feb) - added after a decent month 2023 Cost basis: $20859.26 Gross: Jan: -$2406.36 Feb: $845 Mar: $803 Apr: $1561.50 May: $961.5 Jun: $1136 Jul: $929 Aug: $8179 Sep: $4026.50 Oct: $2552.5 Nov: -$1275.5 Dec: $2126.50 These are gross profit by the way. You can figure out my true net taking the end of the month NLV-initial balance - payments/receipts (under base currency USD) Net: Jan: -$2703.16 Feb: $648.2 Mar: $594.9 Apr: $1183.64 May: $604.3 Jun: $912 Jul: $811.8 Aug: $7946.6 Sep: $3676.5 Oct: $1981.7 Nov: -$1692.7 Dec: $1722.5 So net profit of $15686.28 or 75.2% return for 2023 I didn't add the jan,feb statements, so here it is: And December's
realizing MT5 numbers are off. I think because MT5 mixes up commission with "corrections". And the fact that AMP ended the commission column later this year, this fucked the accounting up. Oh well, I don't give much weight to $ figures in MT5.
Actually considering the net cash flow in Jan/Feb, my TWR is actually about 50%, in line with the backtests.
Ok we will go with: 81.9% money weighted returns for 2023. More accurate representation to the overall performance. I do plan to add money here and there. My first add would be in January. PS. All my net $ return figures on this post are off. Not sure wtf I was doing, it should be NLV-initial balance. Anyway, going forward I'll just post monthly figures/statements and using money weighted returns calculation to account for net cash flows. Happy new year, and secretly hoping for the markets to crash to hell
