Monthly Report 

1st April 2005  – 30th April 2005

 

I must say that I'm very pleased with the way the month went!  April's gain was somewhat over 25%, made up of consistent profits and no major shake-downs. The result takes me to +67% for the year, so far.   I'm also encouraged because, looking back, 25% in one month doesn't look particularly excessive, as this is the fourth time I've obtained this kind of result in recent months.  

Actually, it doesn't end there.  I have been back and looked at all the days I lost in excess of 5%, (yes, I keep a log of them!) and there is no-doubt in my mind that a large number of these were at least partially avoidable.  So, if I could just cut these in half, it would make a huge difference to my continued trading results.  

Looking at my all important Average Daily % return, I'm also encouraged that this is now going nicely in the right direction.  While my dream of 1% per day may still be someway off, the current rate of return compounds out at  418% pa!

A very good month.  

 

Still hard work!
Somewhere in the middle of the month things went wrong in all the NZD pairs I trade.   I'll give them a bit longer, but I'm not overly happy about this level of volatility.
Wild, but still profitable.
LOL! Remember last month I wrote 'One day this pair/method is going to break-away'.

Isn't it great when the trading gods respond favorably?

 

Again, a bit wild, but profitable.  

BTW:  For those who are interested in such things, I have updated the Correlation page.
