Well, managed to end the month on a slightly better note. +$1,279 net This brings me up to +$13,800 in July. I'm content, if not delighted, with that. August could be an exciting month for me - following a big development effort, I am almost finished building the prototype for my algo to automate, send & receive FIX with my broker. This should enable me to manage many more stocks in my strat. Hopefully it'll all be on-line for testing before the end of August and operational late Aug / early Sept; we'll see. Good luck for August everyone
calling it a day and a month ..... traded conservatively today ... didn't want to lose and system had quote issues ..... but happy with todays results was really frustrated with the 1st half of the month .... really made me think of quiting.... last weeks gains really boosted my confidence up again.... ended the month +3758 not bad considering i was either getting huge LFTs or just simply getting my ass kicked for the first half of the month .... hope to maintain hitting these levels and even more next month ..... 7 losing days for this month : 0701 = -147 0707 = -453 0708 = -851 0709 = -309 0716 = -517 0717 = -495 0728 = -702 weeks performance : m: -702 t: +757 w: +704 th: +624 total: 1383 goodluck to all
ER total for July. Not a very good month considering the moves in the market. The first two weeks of July got ran over and spend the last 2 weeks trying to break even. Playing from behind put me in a defensive mode where its hard to catch the meat of the move each day. I changed the system just a bit in the last 2 weeks to avoid more DD and it seems to work. I hope August will be much better with this change. Good Luck everyone.
Bad day! Couldn't trade in first one hour because of server problem. That made my day really tough. +4.4 k for the month. The worst consistency ever. Had 10 losing days this month.
