Total tournament score after the first week of the new year +22,62%. Taxes ate the effect of the post-holiday gap. As already reported, the competition will soon change its name and will be held in a slightly different format, convenient for the participants, and for observers, tracking trading strategies. A little patience.
Results of the day +4,20%, Not bad, I think. Market, certainly, did more, but my longs were open only for a part of the deposit. Now I decided to shorten the chips a little., but this is a scalp shorts, positioning is out of the question. The broker took my tax off for the last year today, therefore, a smaller amount will go to the competition's piggy bank (did not bother and deduct tax only from the profit of ALCHI, as it is, so it will be).
The official results of the tournament have been announced, winners awarded.
This year the competition will continue, alternatives, присоединяйтесь!
so, tournament is over, the results are summed up. My result is quite modest (+20,38%), но стабилен. Only three weeks out of eleven, when statistics were taken into account, closed in minus. Maximum drawdown, (on the basis of daytime sessions) amounted to ~ 6% of the deposit. Generally, worked satisfactorily, and most likely, I will keep the third place (if none of the participants post a super result over the past four days). The rival friends were worthy, and I have enriched my experience with many, thanks to communication with them. Generally, I would like to note an interesting trend. Among the four leaders of the past week, overtook the MICEX index, there were participants, using fairly conservative trading methods – holding positions for more than one day, disuse of the shoulders, шортов (I shorted a little, Really), buy strategy & hold.
In conclusion, I will say, what in 2010 the tournament will continue, only in a slightly different format, new members will join. See also, private investors, those who want to make money on the market with minimal risks and just people who are interested, a surprise awaits from the organizers of ALCHI. But about this, in January.
Good luck!
This week, ALCHI portfolio ends up in the red. Main reason – stopped fixing intermediate profits, focusing on distant targets. As a result, I did not fix several profitable trades. (at least partially), who then went into the negative zone. Therefore, I decided for myself to return to proven tactics., with take profits of part of the volume, placed on the nearest supports / resistances, followed by a restart from a bounce / rollback. Portfolio total return +18,86%
With an experimental forex portfolio, things are much more interesting. After the drain, I replenished the deposit, reduced the size of the traded position, revised the policy of placing stop orders, and approximately halved the number of signals to enter the market. Surprisingly, this practically did not affect the performance. In four days, 8 deals on the eurodollar pair, all in plus. Total return per week +17,14%.
Portfolio changes – ALCHI +1,03%. Retained most of the positions, fixed part of the profit at the close, If everything going to be good, I will share from the rollback.
Total for the day +0,56%
Closed: short of Sberbank, long OGK-1. Polymetal triggered take profit.
FGC UES shares purchased, Belon, Gazprom, OGK-2, Tatneft.
Longs held by Lukoil, Rosneft, Surgutneftegaz-p, nornickel, Pole gold, Sollers.
Day painted green candle, besides, we have a bullish close, higher resistance 1315 on the MICEX, which is positive, considering that they grew up on very weak oil. I would like to see light closer to 75 dollars per barrel :)
Sometimes it is better to give up trading, how to continue it. I should have done it on Tuesday, and rest until the end of the week, until the market can decide, the result would be much higher. Not in the best way, in my opinion, publication of trades is also valid (psychologically uncomfortable, as if someone is standing behind your back, and waiting for a puncture :)), I, perhaps, I will give up this practice. At the moment I have open long positions: Lukoil, Rosneft, Pole gold, Surgutneftegaz-p, Polymetal, Sollers, OGK-1. Short Sberbank.
Sunday, Nevertheless, in a modest plus. Overall result for ALCHI + 16,94%
PS To blog readers. Don't ask, you are welcome, I have ready-made trading tips, Where I am, in long, in shorts. My money management may be very different from yours., I consider it one of the pillars of system stability. I look at the size of positions, the harm / benefit ratio from a particular issuer, don't cling, if I see, that the pose is hopeless, going out, Besides, I can decide to close / open a position, but in the blog do not report this.
Own market view, I will express, with pleasure, but it does not mean, that it is correct.
Well, everybody is alive, hope :)?
Promised a bear day – here he is – please. But not on Mamba, but in America. In Russia, bears fell into a bull ambush :)
This week was not easy for me, did not quite understand the market, afraid to hold positions for a long time. Three trades were unprofitable. Nevertheless, I close it in positive territory (fifth in a row). Total account on ALCHI +16,16%
To date, according to the competitive portfolio I have a Sber short, Sber-p, nornickel, Lukoil, VTB. A bit less, than half the deposit. I will decide whether to close them or not on support on Monday.
We look at the readability for now and the logo design itself. Not a color scheme.
