Well it's a brand
New Year! A fresh start; new
dreams and new goals. I also have
to say, what a nice way to start!
Those
that have followed some of my
discussions on the OANDA forum, or
read the Compounding
page, will know that I am putting
a considerable emphasis on 'Daily
Average Percentage Return' (ADPR)
this year. I have
therefore added a new chart to
monitor its progress.
As can be seen, my
ADPR for the YTD has ended up at
around 1.12% which, believe it
or not, is the stuff of
dreams! If I could only keep
this up, it would result in a
return of over 1500% for the year, and
take this re-based account to a
million in less than 10 months!
Realistically, I cannot expect
this to last, but that doesn't
alter the fact that this ADPR
figure is
crucial in getting to where I want
to get to, and even a modest
improvement over last year will
result in a very good trading year.
Individual components
The following charts show individual equity curves
in percentage terms of the various trading components traded
throughout the period.The charts are from inception of
each trading system.
Trade Components
Not the
smoothest of equity curves,
but a very reassuring
performance. I hope it
continues.
Still
a tough one. The
spread being the killer
Awful!
I've been so close to dropping
this one, but I think I'll
give it just a little bit
longer. My trading in
this idea is presently quite
modest.
Plodding
on!
New Stuff
Since
my main system is going so
well, I've done my old trick
of opening up a smaller
sub-account to trade the
same pair at higher, and
riskier, leverage (This is a
VHV account, and VHV stands
for Very High
Volatility). Maybe
it'll crash and burn, but
you don't know unless you
try!
I've
also added two new
synthetics to my trading
portfolio this month. Spread
costs are always a worry
when trading synthetics, but
this is partly compensated
by the pairs being relatively
unobserved, which I tend to
think is an advantage.
Dropped during Period
The main reason I dropped
my yield play is because it was the only thing I was doing that wasn't automated, nor did it lend itself well to
automation, (it only
trades once a week and then
only to re-adjust exposure)
and basically I thought it was ruining the 'purity' of my api work.
I have however kept it running in a second account, that I don't publish, and that is generally more conservative. This account had been running a bit longer and had run up to +200% in 76 days, and then dropped to +100%
after 90 days. The thing is that's it's now back up to
+190%, some 11 days later.
Seems like things just go in fads!
Continuation Charts
It
is not my intention to
publish these last two charts each
month, however I've added
them to this report to give a sense
of continuity. It's
certainly rewarding to see
the api development
(since the blue dot) paying
off.
Actually,
what's interesting in the
wall chart is that it shows
that this month I had my
worst day's trading since I
started this website.
However, this time, it
comes from a much stronger
base of consistent wins, and
consequently was much easier
to
take.
