NEW INTRADAY WEEKLY EQUITY CURVE CHARTING
Starting this week, and every week hereafter, Intraday will be posting a graphic of our cumulative equity curve based on the profit or loss of the trades that are made in our Online Trading Center each day. Rather than basing the equity curve on an actual dollar amount, we will simply be charting the cumulative number of points gained or lost each week. Please keep in mind that we often vary our position size based on the volatility of the individual stock (as referenced in post #201). Therefore, this chart does not directly corelate with actual profit or loss in dollars.
Our proprietary, Excel 2000-based "Equity Curve Database-Spreadsheet Charting System" is a series of sixteen Excel worksheets (within one workbook file) designed to monitor/manage your daily, weekly, or monthly trading performance using equity curve charts, which are the cornerstone of a successful trading business. The software our members receive is preconfigured to track ten years of data, starting 1-1-2001 through 2001. We provided two hours of training to our members after the close on Tuesday, and will be continuing to provide further training as the system evolves.
Intraday member-traders are currently receiving complimentary copies of our Equity Curve Spreadsheet Charting System, including periodic updates with further enhancements. The first release of this system has received rave reviews from our customers and is a very powerful way to manage/monitor your performance. In the next release, we will be adding forms-based data entry, candlestick and bar charts (which shows the maximum intraday drawdown, maximum open intraday profit, and closing equity on each bar) to replace the Excel bar charts. Also, an integrated MS-Word trading journal within the spreadsheet, right beside your equity curve data! There are many other neat enhancements to come that we are currently implementing and testing.
Here is the URL for this week's Equity Curve Chart. Please disregard the fact that the chart is all in blue. Our screen shot capture software turned the entire chart blue. We will have it corrected by next week:

Please note this is just a five day graphic--our package displays monthly and yearly charts, as well. In the next release, we'll also have trailing 'n-day' charts.
