February Sample Portfolio Trade Results

February 25, 2010 by John Locke Leave a Comment

February was on track for a really good month. Two of the three trades were at or over there target profits on Feb 3. Those profits were quickly taken away on Feb 4, unfortunately, and I spent the rest of the month trying to get them back.  I ended up the month closing the 55 day at +19.89%, the method 15 at +16.99% and taking a 10.85% loss on the method 1 which got whipsawed. The total return on the full portfolio value was +6.17% making the last 2 months the worst back to back months in quite some time. Despite this however we are still ahead of our 3 month goals so no complaints. Hopefully March will yield better results! Below are the numbers:
