OT - Trading Stats
Beginning about 6 months ago, I began trackin' a little more
closely the real-time trades I've posted on this thread. 98%
were ST AMAT dark-side plays. FWIW, here are the stats from
November-02 to date:
Time Frame Trades W/L Profit/Loss Avg P/L
Nov-Dec-02 88 85% $ 70,230 + $ 798 +
Jan-03 44 79% $ 1,020 + $ 23 +
Feb-03 20 71% $ 13,035 + $ 652 +
Mar-03 26 87% $ 12,830 + $ 493 +
Apr-03 33 81% $ 23,450 + $ 711 +
2003 Total 123 80% $ 50,335 + $ 409 +
6-Mo Total 211 82% $ 120,565 + $ 571 +
(currently holding AMAT 5,000 shares short @ $14.19)
Grinding out the scalps on a regular basis has netted some
decent relative returns over the past few years, but what
I'd really like to do is cut down on the time I spend with
the process. I continue to sit with a significant sum of
sidelined cash waiting for the bull to return. I've dipped
my toes in the LT waters twice in the last year, but both
times ended up closing out the portfolios. I continue to
fear the market will go lower. I truly enjoy the ST trading
and will probably always participate at some level, however,
I'm really looking forward to the day when I can turn in my
bear suit and do more serious investing!
