Hi,

thanks to everyone who followed the journal and gave criticism and encouragement this year, both here and on the other sites.

on friday, the decision was made not to trade the system untill january 1, 2006. we had a great year in 2005 and want to make certain the gains are retained thru year end.

i'll see everyone after Jan 1.

best,

surfer

 

Just curious, what is a good year for this system?

 

hi,

not sure i understand your question.

the year was quite good for all of our trading strategies and markets which include oil, currencies and the index system.

Just curious as to what you think a good year is for your system based upon whatever yard stick you use to measure results?
Some may use net $, others may look at % return, etc.

Congrats on a good year!

Mike

 

What kind of system gets shut down in what is traditionally a very good trading period every year?

If anything, scale back on size instead of shutting down (just my .02).

 

WTG Surf. You might do better if youd follow all the advice you get on ET.

 

thanks, easy !

 

thanks, longhorns. i am happy with the performance and choose to take a break untill jan, 06.

best,

surfer

 

O.K....congrats on your year.
