The Short-Term Virtual Portfolio

By phil

178

There is no way to list out all open and closed positions but these are the open ones.

One thing you should notice about this virtual portfolio, as well as the $10KP and $25KP is the AVERAGE gains.  In the STP, since I work hard to save every position and have a ton of cash, the average gain is 38.7%.  I tend not to leave positions open that are up more than 50% because that is a lot of money! 

In the $10KP the average of all open and closed trades is just 9.7%, yet it doubled in a month.  This is probably the most important thing you can learn about trading.  Like the elephant said (sort of) a win is a win, no matter how small…  In the $25KP our average gain was 12.8%.  The main reason for the differences is – the less cash I have, the faster I take a profit.  Taking profits gives me more cash for next time.  Not taking a profit gives me no cash but looks pretty.  I’ve learned that pretty only gets you so far in life, once you turn 40 people are a lot more interested in the cash!

There are very few uncovered positions left and mainly it’s because they weren’t worth covering so we’re going to just have to go with the flow on these today.  My main plan is to use the mattress plays first and worry about repostitioning individual positions later.  At this point, if my callers get blown into the money – so what?  As long as we don’t lose I’m going to be very happy to wiggle out of the rest but I will have 20% stops on any caller I’m up more than 30% against (ie. before I’m only up 23%).
