I will post all my trades here to track and control my emotions. I am doing trading since Dec 2019 of CEFs. Some time I got very good profit.(and losses of course) I have 400 symbols on my watchlists and they are separate on different sectors.
Could you tell us more about your overall trading statistics, if you have these on your table ? (Like Profit Factor, RRR (=net profit to drawdown ratio) on monthly base, etc.)
What's your criterias ? time frame ? I have about ... 26 tickers on my watchlist. 6 positions, 8 pending orders and 12 on watch.
20 Oct 2022 Today's trades: PDI - PIMCO Dynamic Income Fund Share Price - $19.20 / NAV - $18.46 Distribution Rate - 13.78% The primary investment objective of the Fund is to seek current income, and capital appreciation is a secondary objective.The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by utilizing a dynamic asset allocation strategy among multiple fixed income sectors in the global credit markets, including corporate debt... Asset Allocation - Bond 160.94% Country Allocation - US - Fixed Income 117% Open Price - $19.30 Entry price $19.20 with 300 shares there was good support line. 09:40 SPY reverse direction and PDI shows good price action hit the ASK with 300 shares. Exit price $19.40. Second trade RQI - Cohen & Steers Qual Inc Realty Price - $11.13 / NAV - $11.72 Distribution Rate - 8.63% Under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the Fund's total assets are invested in income-producing common stocks and other securities issued by real estate companies, such as real estate investment trusts (REITs). Top Sector - Real Estate Country Allocation - US Equity Very important for RQI is to know that ETF which have to monitor is VNQ. Again 9.41 VNQ reverse the direction and shows strong bullish price action. Hit the ASK 300 shares and my target was approximately 20 cents. Third trade BIGZ - BlackRock Innovation & Growth Tr Price - $6.94 / NAV - $8.68 Distribution Rate - 12.10% The Trust’s investment objectives are to provide total return and income through a combination of current income, current gains and long-term capital appreciation. The Trust will invest primarily in equity securities issued by mid- and small-capitalization companies that the Manager believes have above-average earnings growth potential. This fund is mixed and that's why I will show Top Holdings and Sectors. The trade is more price action than correlation with ARKK and ARKG Enter with different shares size on different prices and total shares 1800. My last exit size was at $7.055
Losers today: DNP - DNP Select Income Traded quantity - 400 shares Price - $10.33 / NAV - $8.26 I tried to short when market open KYN - Kayne Anderson Energy Infrastructure Traded quantity - 1200 shares Price - $8.50 / NAV - $9.85 I tried long position when ETF AMLP shows strength
Time frame - I am actually day trader and in this environment I don't like to keep overnight positions. My criteria is to know the change in NAV compared to the previous day's price for at least 150 symbols from CEFs. Checking daily charts and checking NAVs and prices. Which sector is weak and which sector is strong. Municipals Bonds - TLT very weak sector but very hard to short them. If some symbol show good price action I am trying to play long but at this environment is hard. I am waiting for confirmation for MUNI bonds.
So you have reversal strategy right ? Without knowing more details your sharpe could around 2.5 maybe higher. That depends on how much you are hedged.?
Interesting ! Thanks for sharing. Process sounds robust. I like the sector idea and the NAV vs Price approach. Wish you the best !
