Trading Reference Links

To List:

The first quarter as previously reported was flat with a $100,000 
drawdown from equity high.In early April it even went a bit lower.

April of '99 is the anniversary of my second full year trading.You  
listen to the pain so I wanted to share the joy [even though it is 
a vicious cycle].

1.Brokerage Account # 1--Up $94,000 this month [$91,000 for the 
year and would have been up $18,000 more if this new house long term 
system System did not start with a drawdown].Trade Nasdaq and Bonds 
here.System is no longer currently available per web site but the 
closest I have found to it seems to be at www.FutureSignals.com FYI

2.Brokerage Account # 2--Up $20,000 this month [$5000 for the 
year]Best gain per cent wise for the month].Great fills.this is the 
account where I experiment with new systems and ideas.Trade Always in 
the market Yen, S&P plus Nasdaq.Will be adding Bonds and daily 
S&P.Mostly proprietary systems shared by a very open person I met on 
Realtraders and have entered an informal partnership and ultimately 
formal.

3.Brokerage Account # 3--Up $5000 in 2 weeks of  this month and 
year.[BMI S&P daly here]several systems only trade on BMI and this was 
the most cost effective option.

4.Private joint experimental projects continue.Therefor no money was 
expended for new systems this year.

Just want people to know that there are still mechanical trading 
successes out there.

Total up this month--$129,000

Total up for the year--$101,000

Can't wait for other systems to kick in [S&P Daily,3 Bonds and 3 time 
frame Nasdaq].Eight more months like this or better and California 
Here I Come!But as always there may be pain in between unless I can 
keep improving the mix.

Sincerely,

John
