I've been tracking a portfolio since 7/18 and I'm beating the market

Good luck. Most of us small mom and pop amateur retails started out like you. The key to long term survival is keep reading, studying, testing and adjusting your strategy. Hopefully you will become one of the ET success stories.

On a side note, it is actually better for you if you started out losing money because then you will learn why, learn risk management, Kelly, backtest, etc. It will test your perseverance because perseverance is what will keep you in the game when nothing seemed to work. It happened to the best of us.

 

Two weeks and beating the mkt by 3.1% is not exactly crushing.
How many positions does this involve?

 

This is a great description of current times, people think 2 weeks of performance is relevant. My guess is your results are just random, you got lucky and you will stop posting as your results won't keep up.

 

There's about 300 positions. Slight exaggeration, but I do think it will best long run.

 

Understood. I posted to see everyone's reaction to the trade idea.

 

I meant what I said. I know the difference.

 

Thank you for the encouragement. Greatly appreciate it. I'll keep everyone updated.

 

Thanks man

 

I agree. I use a number of fundamentals. I can't tell everyone the exact strategy. But I'm going to keep tracking and updating. I think in the long run it should play out very well.

 

I agree.
