PERFORMANCE RECORD

As of August 6th Wednesday    

The performance record for this month that's posted below are via trades (real money and simulator trading) by NihabaAshi and the complete trade journal with each trade price/time are posted below.

Also, as of late August 2006...I have begun to show my trading account broker profit/loss statements for each trading day at the below trade journal links to go along with the trades that are posted in real-time.

With that said, my real name is M.A. Perry and I use an online alias that's a Japanese Candlestick term meaning footprints called NihabaAshi.

Also, although I'm currently exclusively trading the Russell 2000 Emini ER2 futures, my strategies are profitable on all the trading instruments shown below as reflected in the below past trade journals prior to exclusively concentrating on trading ER2.

Position size management is a key aspect of my trading and I trade any where between 1 to 9 contracts per trade depending upon the volatility, trade signal and seasonal tendencies.

Total Cumulative Points and Average Points are not tabulated into the results until the month is complete and only represent the current year of data.

Also, position size management is a key component of my trading. Simply, I don't trade via the same position size each trading day as if the market is the same each trading day (one size fits all).

Further, the trade results above and below hyperlinked trade journals reflects the fact I trade via a different position size depending upon the type of trading day or type of trade via words like large size, medium size and small size that's clearly shown in the trade journals.   

The no trades result does not imply I no longer monitor these trade instruments in real-time nor does it imply I no longer document their trade signal results had I been trading them.

*Also, if no attempt was made in a particular month to trade a particular trading instrument...the no trades result is not included into the average.

All past month results for 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003 and 2002 are posted below along with the links to the actual trade log for each and every trade that was posted in real-time.

Complete trade journal and the goal for the month is the same as last month in that I want to take advantage of the increased volatility in the market especially via the fact that I'm using a volatility based methodology.

However, due to the decreasing volatility since August 20th...I've lowered my expectations in comparison to last month.
