weekend aftermarket lounge 25-28th may, page-27

i'm still trying to unwind mistakes from months ago

slowly got my trading account down from 19 stocks to 3

trouble with largish holdings is possibly throwing money away by chasing the price down

my positions will be marked to market at 30th June if i choose so i've been including running losses in my record keeping so far this calendar year

i don't care whether my trades are profitable/breakeven/losses, just want to get the best price within a set timeframe

markets are very unpredictable at the moment so capital preservation is first priority

i've had to trim my personal estimates for the year a couple of times and am likely to underperform the past two years (has been a tough year though imo)

i've had losses coming out of my earholes, might even break my record of 48% winning trades to the downside over the period - have to take the wl ratio into consideration too

don't want to be too self critical though because it's not realistic to be banging in profits on a weekly basis in the current environment unless you're a super trader - and i'm certainly not, lots of hard work and self analysis needed along with new skill sets

saw a couple of articles over the weekend below plus previous self analysis

wl ratio - average winning trade inc bkge divided by av losing trade inc bkge
