Results: 2013-12-09 to 2014-01-10 For project results and more information go to www.linksint.com Twitter Live Calls: Calls: 23 Wins: 22 Loses: 1 Win PCT: .9565 Total Gain: $13.03 AVG. Gain: $0.6066 Open Trades: 5 For live calls on Twitter go to www.twitter.com/99tba Note: Phase 3 testing remains on hold. In the meantime I will continue to concentrate on calling live trades on Twitter. It will be interesting to see what the Win PCT. and AVG. Gain per trade is once the trade count reaches 150. Unfortunately, I wonât have the time to post a daily commentary on the called trades. Overall, it has been a pretty good run so far. I can think of only one badly executed trade and itâs not the trade that is recorded in the lost column. I will be ramping up the number of live calls in the coming weeks. Also, a wider variety of stocks (based on trading criteria) will be included in the live calls. The website has finally been updated with the latest results. In the future, I will try and post the results at the end of the trading day (after 16:00 EST).

Gain: $0.5212 Open Trades: 11 Trade Rank: 45 For live calls on Twitter go to www.twitter.com/99tba Note: Live calls on Twitter this week were disappointing. The trade rank (personal evaluation) for this week is 45 scored out of 100. Simply put, I didnât execute very well. I fumbled the Ex. dividend plays for both CAT and APA. Cut short CTXS move up on Wednesday. If my current holdings were liquidated at the current stock prices the net gain would only be $5.20. On the plus side, I am seeing lots of opportunities for profits but just havenât been able to pull the trigger (or stay off the trigger) and execute properly. Hopefully, I can improve the strategy execution next week. Live call results are posted daily to the website after 4:00PM. Disclaimer: This is a trade simulation using real-time data.

Since the strategy bias is to the upside this loss was to be expected. Repositioning of current positions through intraday play has been positive across the stocks being traded. Given this is a long term strategy this repositioning should lead to higher profits over time. The trade rank for this week was 50. Short side execution continues to be a weak point in the trading game. Next week is an earnings play for CAT, CTXS, NOV, and OXY. The main goal will be to reduce the risk of a large gap down due to a negative earnings report. Live call results are posted daily to the website after 4:00PM.

Intraday trading was positive across all stocks. Execution of the strategy is still being fine tuned. Better long term entry points, the use of trade stops in more risky trading situations, and trading a wider variety of stocks (that meet the trade criteria) are objectives for the upcoming weeks. The number of trades on the losing side is also expected to increase as stop loss trades and profit locking trades are used more frequently.

It has been a rough ride as of late, especially since the strategy is biased to the upside. These market selloff periods actually help a trader to improve their defensive risk strategies. My weakness on the recent movement down has been the initial long term entry and share accumulation points. APA, NOV, OXY, and SINA were examples as entry and accumulation points lacked price support. CTXS was caught in an earnings play. CAT has been strong but my current short trades still could have been executed at a profit. Trade rank this week is a 55. Intraday repositioning is still positive across the board. Even with the market selloff the strategy TOTAL gain is only down (-$5.36). Any market movement up in the coming week should push the gain into positive territory.

Much better trades this week, as the trade rank hit 70. Intraday trading is solid across all stocks. Best intraday trades of the week came on the OXY news play on Friday. Sold a volume block at $95.70, repurchased at $94.97, resold at $95.95, and repurchased at $95.58. Good volatility. Live calls can be checked out on the Twitter account. After running the project out of my home for so many years I have finally secured office space. I expect to move into the new location within the next month. This move is a big plus, especially from a concentration point of view. The goal this week is to build on the improving trade rank. Intraday trading has been solid. I expect the overall TOTAL gain to increase again this week. Trade results are posted daily to the website after 4:00PM. Disclaimer: This is a trade simulation using real-time data.
