Personal Account + 100% Resistance = Sideways P&L.

Time to reassess and come up with a plan of attack.

The above is the rolling P&L since mid June '16. A few things that leap off the chart...

1) ~340 trades over the first 4+ months. ~70 trades in the following ~2 months. Last two months have a trade frequency of ~40% of the prior months.

2) Last two months- starting from the black arrow- have resulted in an 20+% range. The black arrow also indicates the start of live trading in my personal account.

3) The high of the above range is an 100% return based on $3K/contract over a few instruments with a per trade risk of ~1.6-2.2% (depending on the instrument).

4) Headline stats before last two months of trading: WR=34%, RR=2.319, E= 0.1489.

5) Headline stats for the last two months of trading: WR=36%, RR=1.824, E= 0.0196.

6) 8 target days (+10%) before last two months of trading.

7) 0 target days for the last two months of trading.

8) 46 trades >= 3R before last two months.

9) 7 trades >= 3R for the last two months...


Going to sleep on this post and return with an analysis of what has changed along with a plan of attack to get back on track!
