I guess a solid year, but a bit underwhelming while watching all you trend followers kick goals. Still, the result exceeds my 20% benchmark, so I really can’t complain.
More than 2/3 of my profit for the year came from one day, the good old Yen Carry Unwind. The big lesson for me, more reinforcement of a belief I already had, is that I must place orders every day. I can’t imagine my state of mind if I’d missed that day because I was travelling or on holidays or felt I needed a break or something dumb like that. However, who knows what can happen, so my main goal for 2025 is to train up my daughter to be able to run my daily processes in case I get run over by a truck.
I have redesigned my position sizing over the last couple of months – I thought I had a cool way of over/(under) allocating on a daily basis across my systems but even the most basic of back testing made me realise that I was (probably) making ROR lower and MDD higher. Doing stuff without back testing first – dumb!
On a more positive note, I’ve added 2 new short MOC systems that go live from tomorrow, so fingers crossed!
I haven’t seen any end of year posts from you all yet, perhaps too much New Years Eve? However, I reckon that I’m going to see lots of great results for the year, so well done to you all.
Best wishes for 2025!
