For the past 4 months I have been tracking the trades for TTTHedge.com, a trading group that I am a member or and meets everyday in a live trading room. Each trading call I have written down in a spreadsheet and posted on our member’s site. I now have a complete three months of trades which I am willing to share with anyone interested, and these are my results summarized.
We started with a theoretical portfolio of $100,000 for our short term 1-5 day trading portfolio (TRADERS) and and $500,000 for our longer swing trade portfolio (MAIN). At the end of the quarter (August, September and October) the portfolios had $137,852 and $573,366 respectively. This represents a 38% gain in the TRADERS account and 15% gain in the MAIN account. For comparison the SPX cash during that same time frame only had a net return of 5%.
Here is a summary of our trading production:
These are impressive returns. What I find even more impressive is how they were accumulated. This accumulating profit chart paints a picture of how the profits added up.
The drawdowns are reasonable, running about 10% in the worse case and taking about 5 trading days to get back to regaining profits. I will happily send you the spreadsheet to do your own more in-depth analysis.
Why is that important? If you are looking for a trading style that not only accumulates capital but also generates cash flow Tom’s trading style is a great choice. You don’t get stuck in deep long drawdowns and hedging helps insure that there are almost always profits to be taken.
