The Green Alpha

  1. Hi guys,

    I'm pleased to finally start this trading journal. We've been working on this for the last few years and we hope you'll find it useful.
    We plan to have always an open position on the S&P500 (long or short) and we'll do our best to post it on the closing bell of the previous day.

    Our objective is to obtain yearly returns above 20% with the minimum volatility possible. We'll expand soon to specific stocks.

    We'll post more details about our approach as we go but for now here is the first position for tomorrow.

  7. The first week has passed and the results were not bat, we’ve had a 3 day long position on the S&P500 which we closed on the closing bell of Friday.

    During this week, we’ve open the only trade on the closing of Tuesday, had a decent profit on Wednesday, lost it on Thursday and regain it on Friday.

    For the week the returns were:

    S&P500: -0,244%

    The Green Alpha: +0,552%

    Our strategy may use leverage up to 2x when all of our signals point in the same direction.

    Have a great weekend!
