System Review: A Year of Performance Tracking

(First posted on Scoutforex.com)

It has been more than a year since I first started to measure my daytrading system performance on a monthly basis. Here a couple of charts I put together to see how I have been fairing:







These graphs tell me that I have been doing the right thing all year long by:
1) Generating the right trading ideas at the right time
2) Diversifying my money in two different market places, i.e. Major Pairs and Yen Crosses.

I am able to make steady gains with the two systems, simply by betting against the short-term moves for the US dollar and Japanese Yen day in day out. The combined results say it all. I have made more gains than losses, 10 positive months out of 14, averaging about 310 pips each month.

Worth mentioning, the only one time my system made a triple-digit losses was back in July 2008, that is -140 pips. Others are -50, -70 and -25 pips in May' 08, Nov' 08 and Jan' 09. Also on the plus side, the system is capable of hitting four-digit monthly gains, which so far outstrip the recorded losses by many times. This has already happened twice: +1175 pips in Aug' 08 and just recently +1055 pips in Feb' 09.

Overall, my system did incredibly well even when the market was volatile. I hope my system can continue to make gains for me and you as the economy recovers.

Daytrading Subscriber Service (Mar' 09) +265 pips, 11th Positive Month out of 14

This would be the 11th month of positive gains (out of last 14) if you had closely followed my US dollar market sentiment table and subsequently traded the major pairs' signals as we started back in Feb 2008.

The daytrading system did well again last month. We increased the results for major pairs by +265 pips, and also +60 pips for the cross-yen pairs. The EUR/USD result was up by another +50 pips, overall +1120 pips . EUR/USD is, so far, the biggest gainer.
  • EUR/USD +1120 pips;
  • GBP/JPY +845 pips;
  • USD/CAD +620 pips;
  • USD/CHF +555 pips
