So, How Are We Doing

I have traded only 1 stock this year.   The rest have been mostly credit spreads which have profited as the market goes down.  We started with $100,000 on January 1, adding $1048 in gains (realized and unrealized) and paid over $112 in commissions (options are expensive to trade).   So we stand at $100,935.68 for the year.   Chaikin Analytics helps keep you out of bad markets.  If we stick to the discipline of trading with price, money flow, power gauge, industry group strength and relative strength rules in place, we'll avoid the horrific bear market drawdowns that can wreak havoc on a portfolio.
