Re: What is your return for 2005?
Evan...
Just for your information, in the last 2+2 Trading Competition run by Dan, the winners 3 month return was over 100%. Based on my knowledge of how and what fflaque trades, I do not doubt his quoted return figure!

I have no idea wtf fflaque does or how good he is at it. That competition's results don't mean that much though. Unless there was a pretty significant amount of money on the line I think most people would be fools to use strategies they actually employ in their real portfolios. So fflaque, since you returned ~64x the market this year, mind sharing your secrets? What was your biggest gainer? How many trades did you make? Which members of the NASD are you blowing?

250%...beg of the yr account was mid 5 fig [/ QUOTE ] I'm still unclear. Is the 250% a weighted aggregate IRR of all the trades you made? Or did your total portfolio (including all the cash that was sitting on the sidelines) go up 3.5x (if this is the explanation, your starting bankroll was about $50k and you now have about $175k.....wow)? Or what?
