hello john
As you and the list know I use 75% of my trading capital trading 2
mechanical systems,
they are Aberration and duel trust,
my broker puts on the trades
this take all emotions out,,
he has some rules that he follows that are written in stone for both
systems
here are just 2 of the rules
when trading aberration wait for 2 losing trades in a raw for this
particular commodity
and the same for duel trust
rule # 2 is stop loss is put in the night session for all
indexes
there are a few more re money mgt ,, profit objective is different
for each
commodity,,
as for losing trades
in the last 5 or so years I had many times posted forecasts that
were
DEAD wrong
and in ALL I lost money,,
however
my % of winners is way ahead of my losers
here is an example of a position trade for CONSERVATIVE money
remember purchasing 130000 of options in the last 4 weeks
here is the update as of today close
long 175 IRIAI total cost $144000 current value $140000
long 175 QAVPH cost $25625 current value $ 10500
short 175 QQQEJ sold $44875 current profit $9875
have order to buy back to close@ 1.35(qqqej)
so this is if closed today LOSING $9250 plus 625 in
commissions
good day
Ben
