My Trades - as of 24th January, 2011

The table below summarises all suggested trades on this blog, mentioned in End of Week Market Analysis and any individual security summaries.

Accumulative Profit as of 24th January is $2474.

What does that mean? It assumes I have opened 1 option contract, 500 warrants or a 1000 share parcel in each suggested trade.

In reality, I would have different capital allocation decisions depending on the trade risk profile/equity at risk and other factors.


In my monthly performance updates, I will disclose my actual equity results on a percentage basis, which includes brokerage, slippage and other costs.

Defensive Actions (DA column) since last update:

• MQG long option trade closed on the open 20th January due to KC Signal confirmation
• All bullish WOW, RIO and BHP trades were stopped out on the 20th of January due to "End of Uptrend" price action analysis.

Legend:

• BPS - Bull Put Spread
• BCS - Bear Call Spread
• Blog Entry Date - date suggested trade was mentioned
• Confirmation Date - date when trade was opened, on confirmation of entry signal. 

Notes to Table:

• Currently open trades obviously have no "Exit Date" entry, but initial profit (premium on entry) or loss (capital allocated, e.g shares bought) is calculated
• Entry and exit price are calculated from closing price on Confirmation Date
• Profit/loss is calculated per option contract (1 XJO point is $10, 1 equity option cent per contract is also $10 - 1000 shares per contract) or per 1000 shares or 500 warrants (assumed leverage of 50%).
• A long call or put or purchased share or warrant has an immediate "loss" as a debit is made, whilst a sold call or put or credit spread has an immediate "profit". Final profit/loss is calculated on exit.
• No brokerage, ACH fees, slippage (buy/sell spread) or liquidity/fill problems are assumed or calculated.
