  4. So you're running more than 50% gains frequently. Have you ever had a 50% or more loss?

    I will ass ume the account is a fraction of your potential trading capital.

    I trade a smaller account (40k) and operate at a lower % of buying power (considering leverage). I trade exclusively stocks and once in a while options. Most trades are done with 200-500 shares. Although a lot of my P&Ls posted here aren't impressive by many standards, often in the $100/day range, I am satisfied with my progress and consistency.

    Being a rookie still (<3years), my primary concern is preservation of capital and managing risk. I've come a long way from my days of consistent losses. I work my own strategy and put a lot of work in after hours analysing and trying to build on it. I enjoy being part of this board and seeing how others are doing. I don't care much about % returns of others, but I find it inspiring when someone can pull $1000+/day from the market.

    I had never bought or sold any financial securities until 4.5 years ago.

    It was a wimpy month for the Tailz fund.

    Started adding size and made a couple minor mistakes while calibrating the strategy to new markets :eek:

  8. less than 1/2 of march, 1/5 of january take. took a week off for spring break...during the only vol week of month..maybe that had something to do with it..or maybe i would have done worse. who knows.

    just gonna keep grinding away as usual nonetheless.

    nice job guys who have the balls to post in a difficult market.
