A Year of Performance Tracking

It has been more than a year since I first started to measure my daytrading system performance on a monthly basis. Here a couple of charts I put together to see how I have been fairing:

These graphs tell me that I have been doing the right thing all year long by:
1) Generating the right trading ideas at the right time
2) Diversifying my money in two different market places, i.e. Major Pairs and Yen Crosses.

I am able to make steady gains with the two systems, simply by betting against the short-term moves for the US dollar and Japanese Yen day in day out. The combined results say it all. I have made more gains than losses, 10 positive months out of 14, averaging about 310 pips each month.

Worth mentioning, the only one time my system made a triple-digit losses was back in July 2008, that is -140 pips. Others are -50, -70 and -25 pips in May' 08, Nov' 08 and Jan' 09. Also on the plus side, the system is capable of hitting four-digit monthly gains, which so far outstrip the recorded losses by many times. This has already happened twice: +1175 pips in Aug' 08 and just recently +1055 pips in Feb' 09.

Overall, my system did incredibly well even when the market was volatile. I hope my system can continue to make gains for me and you as the economy recovers.

At present, LOBS is my most valuable daytrading strategy. If you run the system as your trading vehicle, be patient and let the story unfold. Don't worry if you see the EA moves lower tomorrow or the next day. The long-term is what counts for you. So far, the system winning rate stands at 70.8% on Day 50.

Switching On My iPhone 3G for the First Time

My new Apple iPhone is ready to be used. So far, I have added apps like Bloomberg, Google mobile, fring, Wikipanion etc. Which apps are your favourites?
