I started this blog as a way of honestly tracking the latest version of my automated futures trading programs. In effect, this is a LIVE TEST, with real money on the line. The concept behind this program is not only good entry and exit signals, but really robust, automated money management and reduced draw down through the use of a portfolio methodology - which should minimize daily effective draw down as long as the strategies are non-correlated.
The goal is to take snapshots of the daily trade screens along with the results. If the program works, it should turn a very modest account into a large, income producing machine. The program will then be cloned and the whole process starts over. For this test, I am using both TradeStation and MultiCharts for trading.
This blog just gives me a place to jot down my daily thoughts - It also helps in that it forces me to look at it and update the accounting daily. I'm planning to kick off the live trading on January 5, 2015.
If you stumble across this blog or you are looking because I gave you the address, I hope you enjoy it.
Here we go:
