August's always suck for me, either too much vol or too little. The first week i did real well(i'll post monthly at some point) In any case going to be vacationing last two weeks + of august..so little trading. Good luck guys , gonna spend some gains here for a couple weeks!
long time lurker here, thought I'd start posting to give myself increased motivation to work on new systems and boost trading income. I've been inspired by some of the great posters here like lescor, rallymode, garachen. My results aren't on that level, but I hope they will add to the body of proof that profitable trading is possible if you are willing to put in the hours. I've been trading since 2004, but only went full-time last year. I will try to post monthly results; anything on a shorter-time frame than that is too noisy. Here's my YTD through July. My goal for this year is to hit 1mm net.
Would anyone of you who post your P/L be interested in sharing the returns in % of equity or % of margin used? Or number of contracts/shares traded? It would make it a little more interesting.
A bunch of us including myself posted their ib portfolio anal ysis...that should shed some light on your question..look back a few pages.
It has already come to my attention that I have not been paying proper attention. So I will try to pay attention from here on. Nice performance.
