With companies in the throes of earnings season, we thought we'd take this chance to start updating you on our Q2 Chaikin Analytics powered report card, starting with our trend trades. Most trades falling under our trend-following strategy are still running. Only 7 of more than 30 trades initiated between April 1st and June 31st, 2018 have been closed out, with 5 losers averaging roughly 7% to the downside and 2 winners averaging an 11%+ gain. Of the remaining unsettled trades, unrealized winners are outpacing losers by a better than 2:1 to rate, with gains on unrealized winners not quite 2:1 vs. losers. Since our exit rules set stop losses 5% below each stock's long term Chaikin trend, it will likely be until the next broad market sell-off before we can report our final performance numbers.
