    Haha, yeah auspiv, it's made some good progress lately. Thanks for continuing to follow the progress.


    W4rl0ck, I pulled this quote from a different thread:
    That's EXACTLY what this journal is. It's me running the rivet machine day in and day out. I don't invite discussion about the method because it's not about the method. It's about me running the rivet machine. Thanks for your interest, but please stop trying to make this journal about something that it isn't.

    Here are the stats from 2008. Happy New Year everyone!

    2008
    -------------------
    Number of trades: 76
    %Profitable: 57.89
    Profit factor: 1.54
    Largest profit: 2132.70 (10/09/2008)
    Largest loss: -1779.80 (10/08/2008)
    Average profit: 335.95
    Average loss: -219.11
    Net profit: 10585.74

    Note that I traded 3 different contracts this year. I switched from YM to ER2 shortly after the CBOT/CME merger, and from ER2 to ES following the move of the Russell 2000 contract to ICE. The net profit breakdown is as follows:

    YM: 359.44 (6 trades)
    ER2: 1918.40 (39 trades)
    ES: 8307.90 (32 trades)

    Attached is a graph of the cumulative PnL and cumulative per-contract PnL since inception.
