Buy The Bulls Monthly Momentum: -3.75%

Fully invested for the election.

I’ve been in a much better place this month. Busy with work, family etc and not worrying too much about the noise. Was pleasantly surprised to be down 3.75% and not have another total bloodbath on my hands. I’m still not there yet though… the hole I’m digging out of feels too big but I will persist.

I missed it too …

Was a good one though! Thanks for the conversation everyone!

[MichaelRodwell]

My pleasure to share the crown!

I take full responsiblity for Trump’s Covid and susequent market sell off (if it happens). I Just relaunched my system after a month or two in the wilderness.

Unless anyone else just launched a system as of oct?

Thanks Glenn! This could be the month…

[MichaelRodwell]

Lovely! So inspiring to see that happen.

[MichaelRodwell]

Thanks Trent. Can be a lonely game looking a the screens (which I wont be doing too much of from now on!)

Well, reading some of the reviews from Jack Schwagers new book, I feel rather lacking…

BTW, Jack and I did discuss an interview but because my main trend following account has been transitioned 4x over the last 20-years I couldn’t pull the data for him.

Did he want broker statements?

I was expecting your response to be measured… “lacking” seems a pretty impotent emotion… is what it is.

Are your stops based on percentages and not taking into account price action support/ resistence?

That’s what happened to me during the last big move down a few weeks ago. My system went into enough drawdown that they wouldn’t place the closing orders for the MOC as they would have taken me over margin (ironically as they were closing orders).

Does the management SW (is it a new variant of batch trader?) send individual close orders?

If so, why not trigger IB’s ‘Close all positions’ for a MOC account.

Multiple strats on one account would be one reason… any others?

[MichaelRodwell]

Holy sh*t!!! Awesome Tim!

[MichaelRodwell]

Yep! Definitely happy about that. I would be happy with a bit of sideways action with an upward bias!

[MichaelRodwell]

Pretty much a nothing month.

0%.

Was going along quite nice but got my arse handed to me from $BMRN and a few others sold off towards the end of the month.

My time will come… just not this month
