How about running a summation index of sorts for your trades?

1.016x1.017x1.011x(0.994)x1.018

Heck, someone might even graph it. <G>

Larry, while your 5.6% return over 2 months appears very satisfactory, i have to ask the KEY question: what % of the total acct is invested in each trade..

there are two complementary reasons for this question:
(1) if each trade is a large % of acct, then how do you handle being down 3-4% at some point (which occurred in a few trades)
(2) if each trade is a small % of acct, then the 5.6% return has to be multiplied by that small % resulting in an overall rather low return year to date

...feel free to ignore my question as i am perhaps prying too deeply here...otoh any info here would be very useful to all of us following your trades
..good luck with your system...i like it a lot..
