Afternoon lull... Maybe a few boundries can be taken out in both directions to increase the banked profit so that when the next long trend arrives the positive NAV will hold. For those of you that are subscribed to cable TV (logged-in to my platform) as you know you will see -100 bucks float in a heartbeat...and more Start Capital: $4,000.00 # of Calendar Days Traded: 2 (Start = 01/30/12 mst) Profit: $29.53 Float: -$4.90 NAV:$24.63 Percent: +0.62% Boundry Width: 27.2 PIPS Margin Used: $5.27
Pardon the interruption folks but I wanted to catch this screenshot. Notice the "margin used" was reduced with the addition of the sell trade. This is dealer specific as their hedging rules allow offsets of margin when long and short at the same time. Note that there is three buys and two sells. So I imagine (if the boundary was not so close) that another sell would be placed and the "margin used" would be ZERO. Point of this post is it is important that you verify with your dealer if they have margin offsets when hedged.

Below I am listing a summary of the boundry width's that I have reported here from each one of the posts. I think these widths are important to note. Why? Well it is a quick indication of the current condition of the system...here let me illustrate. As you will see as the boundry width's increase the NAV decreases. This is difficult to see by just scrolling through a chart and looking at the trends. The long trends with small retraces will cause a wide boundry. It is very deceptive when looking at 1 month charts This floating boundry follows the price and the 4K starting equity was estimated to be adequete to weather most storms (high negative UPL) with a 1:500 Hedging type of dealer at 0.01 (10 cents per PIP) per 4K.
