Goal in 2014: $127k to $200k

Discussion in 'Journals' started by universaller, Feb 13, 2014.

  1. For this year, I decided to post my portfolio on regular basis to keep reminding myself about trading. Due to the fact that I work full time as a sales rep for a medical lab, trading stocks/options on daily basis is impossible (too much driving). Hopefully, I reach $200k at the year end to be a step closer to trade full time.

    portfolio value as of today: $127,739

    I added the snapshots of my performance in 2012 / 2013 / 2014 (Jan-Feb) as well.

    Just remember Man..This is a Bull Market. Bull Markets always give an impression that one is smart and one knows more than one really does.
     
  3. Looks pretty good past couple of years. That's my goal too..........$200,000 and I'm ditching the cube. Got a ways to go at the moment. Good luck !

    Oh, you are with them for over 2 years and you performance is pretty good. Do you mind if I ask you unrelated question? Did you receive any funding from them?

    +1, also, is there going to be another round of backing? :D
    Their forum link is down, I'm wondering where do they communicate? Outside of the blog posts, I can't find any recent stuff on google.
     
  9. No, the reason that I didn't get funded was due to the fact that I had a high volatility with sharpe ratio about 1 which is not a good performance on risk measurements. I could improve the volatility by lowering option trades, but I found out that I did better in options than equities with value approach or market neutral.

    I attached the trade history. So far, I made profits on 1,153 trades and losses on 99 trades, and yet, my performance is poor as I take profits too early and losses too late. I'm not an experienced trader at all.

    Good luck,
