  2. Do you mean "deduce"?
     
  3. They look completely made up to me. Various numbers aren't consistent with each other. Can you post a .csv of the daily returns?

  4. Lol, I hope they aren't made up. It is my account. I connected it to fundseeder today, but I'm not sure what all the metrics mean.
     
  5. Seems like you've got less than a year of history trading something pretty risky and/or with lots of leverage, and that you usually make a little money and sometimes have a big upside surprise at least so far in the sample. Sound about right?

    Thanks for the .csv. You have two massive returns in the middle of the sample which are distorting all the statistics (49% and 312% over two days). Without those you'd be slightly down. You also have a lot of days when you haven't got any returns at all. Under these circumstances there will be all kinds of crazy return stats.

    By the way I can't reproduce all the figures you quote (i.e. the max drawdown I see as 0.4%).

  7. Moreleverage: If you must know, these are the statistics for my secondary account, in which I only trade options on spy (long calls or puts) or am in cash. I really try to go for the jugular when I see an opportunity. So not much of a suprise (at least te me) But sometimnes it works, and sometimes it doesnt, and when it doesnt I try to lose small.
    I was really wondering if you knew more details about these statistics.

  8. Rob,
    Thanks for analysis.
    That is correct. As I mentioned above, this is my secondary swing trading account. Where I am only long calls and puts on spy or in cash. As you know, due to the nature of options, it is to be expected to be down small when not much is happening and the timevalue erodes. Luckily the other periods make up for this. Maybe you can compare this strategy a bit to Universa Investments'.
    This aside, can you give me more details about those statistics as there are some that I never came across before (mind you, statistics never was my forte)
    Thanks.
     
  9. Which figures do you need help with? To be honest a couple of them I don't recognise eithier

  10. I'll do some more research, hope I can find out more by myself
    Thanks,

    PS: I'll post some of my findings here, maybe it can be of use to someone else.
