03-27-2015 - Portfolio Weekly Results

It was a strange and wild week. There are still 2 days left in March and I still expect a large move in the markets to end the first quarter of 2015 - So I'm expecting a wild ride again at least at the start of the week.

The Portfolio lost $100 this week
So far in March, the portfolio has produced $5145 in profits
Since inception on January 6th, the portfolio has produced a profit of $16064.25

Several interesting facts
1) The original 7:30 Russell chart was switched off on 3/9/2015 after several stop losses in a row. Had I kept running it, it would have produced $6860 between 3/9 and 3/24 - Bummer!

2) The Nasdaq chart just didn't work out - Actually most of them don't - I've been pretty fortunate in that regard. I won't be running another Nasdaq chart until I can test much more

3) It appears that the biggest issue affecting my overall returns is me. Individually, each system made more money than what I was able to capture - because I made several changes during the month - changing the number of contracts then losing big then reducing contracts and winning small. I am learning that the plan needs to be more spread out - maybe monthly - then "Dance with the one you brung" for the month without changing them.

I will post another Portfolio update on Tuesday that covers the entire month of March.
Have a great weekend!
