March turned out to be the most unprofitable month of the year (not only this, but also the past). And this is in a growing market! Equity has been steadily declining, gaining momentum. The reasons I see are as follows: 1) My underestimation of the strength of the trend, taking and holding short positions. Meanwhile,, the market was pulled, often very competently, opening with a gap up, and not letting the shorts go out. 2) Transferring profitable short positions to overnight, and not closing at least part of the volume.
Once the market is flowing, but your vehicle does not allow you to long at current levels, so you can work short only within the day, without hope, that now it will definitely crash. Fantasies are appropriate elsewhere. As a result, the profit was eaten up by the morning gap. 3) Switching to futures contracts. In March I decided to try my hand at futures. Pancake, first, came out lumpy. There were several very correct entrances, on the & quot; five & quot;, but most of the experiments were unsuccessful, the effect of which was enhanced by the shoulders. Conclusions made relevant.
