Portfolio statistics we started with $500,000 made a total of 402 round trip trades (804 IN/OUT) so about 8 a week total turnover was $11,508,000 so about 23 times average holding period about 16 days average trade was $28,627, about 5% of the total average gain on trades was 3.0% or about $861 profit per trade 296 trades, 74% were profitable 106, 26% were at a loss average profit per profitable trade was $2,608 average loss was $4,038 so our profitable "hit rate" was good but we did not cut our losses 6 trades over 50% gain, best was 75% 17 25-50% gain 82 10-25% 191 0-10% 50 0 to -10% 32 -10 to -20% 24 -20 to -53% 7 trades +$10,000 to 29,200 33 5000-10000 57 2500-5000 109 1000-2500 90 0-1000 25 0 to -1000 21 -1000 to -2500 28 -2500 to -5000 24 -5000 to -10000 8 -10000 to -287000 the worst 32 totaled -$295,000 the worst 8 was $123,000 so cutting losses fast would have made a huge difference
