    I was very happy to go above breakeven this year, after severe losses at the beginning of the year. So, I'm about 5% on my account the last two weeks.

    I went from a dismal loser to a modest gainer after a major change in strategy, and the runup in GLD. I use the option covered call stategy.

    Made $375 just today on my $15k account.

    I plan to fine tune my strategy in 2011 similar to gamma scalping, so that I can take advantage of the down moves.

  4. Silver profits are excellent for 2010. Many stocks profits are 150% or 200% for 2010. Gold profit is 29% for 2010.

  5. First trade in account I report on placed 2 Aug. Close of today, up 64.6%.

    I wont disclose dollars, but suffice it to say that these days I make my living trading.

    Wishing everyone here to...

    Live long and prosper.

  7. $131 and that includes $3000 in fees/ commisions. Basically, I'd be up $3,000 without fees lol

    This has been my most active year of trading. I have been in and out for a couple years. I plan on doing it more seriously in 2011.

    I've been fortunate this year.

    94.7% wins Year to Date
    1.0085 compounded rate of gain per trade per day
    3.9% average profit per trade
    95% gain over last year (as of last month. New data not here yet).

    Hope I can keep it up in 2011.

    I do NOT adhere to the normal rules of investing or trading. Everything I do has its basis in math, not finance.

    Amen Crater! The markets are nothing more than random number generators. If you can't see that you'll never be successful. That's being said, the best way to trade a random number generator is by using a scientific method that interprets a random number set -- statistics. The challenge with this method is the markets are non-stationary and has unit root problems. Net return for the year was 24.79%. Not a bad year. Investors are happy.
