I have decided to begin updating my
Trading Stats page again. In this post, I am archiving the old data that was available on the Trading Stats page.
This data is of my trades during January to March 2016. During that period, I was almost exclusively trading the
Range Compression Method. In that system, I used to wait for a visual discernible compression of price in the M15 and M3 charts. Then, I placed a Stop Loss Market (SL-M) order at either end of the range. Trailing was based on a mechanical formula.
With that system, I had a
huge profit in the last 3 weeks of January. With the leverage that I was using, I made over 200% profit in January. After that, the exact same
system went into a slump, and due to the same high leverage that I was using, I had lost all my gains by the end of April 2016. Note that with even with high leverage, it took me 3 months to lose the gains that I had made in 3 weeks in January 2016. That is the advantage of taking entries when the range compresses and the risk is small.
In the range compression system, I would trail my Stop Loss, only when I was able to lock in a respectable amount of profit. It meant that in many cases, I would book a loss, even on a trade that had moved decently in my favor. That would appear high on the
Stupidity Index. In fact, this is what I was doing when I
returned from my trading sabbatical. On Friday, when I did not move my Initial Stop Loss even once in 6 trades, I hopefully learned a
good lesson about trailing Stop Losses sooner.
