Wins/Losses : 5/2
Total Return Month to Date: 0.0%
Well, Tradestation came out with a new build this week, and I really managed to screw things up. I missed a profitable Euro trade entirely, and somehow my stop order to exit a profitable British pound trade was either gapped through or not entered into the market correctly. I’m shaking my head in disgust…this should have been my triumphant return to profitability, but as it stands, this week’s shenanigans have left me absolutely flat for the month…things could be worse…see January and February 2008…
Final results for February 2008:
Wins/Losses : 4/6
Total Return Month to Date: -8.6%
This was a perfectly dreadful month. As I was tweaking my systems and my position sizing, I seemed always to be losing with larger position sizing and winning on my smaller trades. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I continue to notice that my systems seem to be positively correlated with the US equity markets and negatively correlated to the forex results of most of the other bloggers whose sites I read.
I am willing to go forward in the month of March with the Cable Glider and the Euro Ranger each risking about 2% of equity per trade…as usual, in a continuing drawdown, I’m not motivated to say much else.
