PERFORMANCE RECORD

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.

As of January 1st 2009, the location of our trading performance record is now stored @ http://www.thestrategylab.com/tsl/forum while the archives are stored below in their associated links.

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 S&P 500 Emini ES 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 ES.

Note: On September 11th 2008, I switched from the Emini ER2 to the Emini ES. 

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.

Once again, as of January 1st 2009, the location of our trading performance record is now stored @ http://www.thestrategylab.com/tsl/forum while the archives are stored below in their associated links.

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.

By the way, if you haven't noticed, August is my best trading month of the year so far and that's exclusively due to the increased in volatility.

Due to a Hacker Attack that deleted all ezBoard info between (April 2004 - December 2004) that contains our trade journal (not the actual logs)....

I will complete the update (reposting) process of my performance record as soon as possible along with moving my entire trade journal from its current ezBoard forum location to TheStrategyLab.com website for better security and management.

Complete trade journal and key trades...nothing new about trading this month so far. Only thing interesting is that the good volatility since the U.S. presidential elections is still providing good trading opportunities.

In addition, I go into my holiday trading schedule (very little trading and testing of some new stuff) on Dec 22nd Wednesday until the first full week of trading Jan 2005.

Complete trade journal and key trades...this month I had a small problem with overtrading but got that under control during the latter part of the month. Most likely the overtrading occurred due to the fact that I didn't want to miss any of the increased volatility due to the U.S. presidential elections.

Volatility has always been key to profits.

Will be tough to get up early and trade either DAX or EC especially with a toddler.

Remember this...we at TheStrategyLab.com trade for a living. It's our main source of income and income from services via our website represent only a very small portion of our income.

We are traders first...vendors last.

Once again...we provide fee-based services only to compensate ourselves for the time, energy and resources we use to help other active traders to become successful traders...active traders that have contacted us first and then asked for help with their trading.
