One single pathetic dividend payout.
Nothing much to crow about as usual.
04 November $15.00
So just when I thought things were turning around, I get slapped in the face by the market and by my own stupid trading indiscipline.
I ended up trading indices again and almost bursting my employee trade count restriction within the first week.
Plus losing 5.5K to boot.
How shitty is that?
December is looking promising but it is still early days so hopefully I don't do anything stupid now. Already 3.8K up!
If I can carry this on then I'll talk about what I did to turn things around next month.
Really haven't been working hard on this.
It is almost as though since March I've lost sight of this trading strategy.
Still I just try to record it to see where I end up this year.
October was a very bumper month because of two SG counters.
20 October $225.00
23 October $460.00
October was a very slight turnaround.
It is only the 3rd month of the year that I achieved green, sadly. And by a very slight amount somemore.
Not much to crow about considering you can see what came out of November :(
6mins+ to be exact.
Appeared on Nasdaq.com for an interview in conjunction with the Singapore Fintech Festival.
Catch the full interview here.
This is depressing.
I was trading indices in the midst of the US Elections.
A likely Biden win would push the market up.
A likely Trump win would push the market down.
I saw the initial vote count and sadly thought Trump might win.
Ended up shorting a hell lot of Index CFDs.
Final loss was around $8K.
:(
Gonna take a while to come back from this.
So Saxo Markets have now changed their logo once more.
What I really like about it is that this time around, it is more meaningful and more purposeful.
Also all employees were gifted a water bottle, chocolate and personalized letter about the new Saxo Foundation.
Yet more losses in September.
At least October is looking green.
Trying to aggressively reduce activity in this account to minimize anymore losses.
Almost every time I touch this account, I'd wander towards either the NASDAQ100 or the S&P500 and then it is downhill from there.
Hopefully things look up in Q4.
Yet another dry month again.
Things are really improving for me so long may this continue. Haven't really gotten back into dividend plays yet while the shoring of investment capital is still in progress.
10 September $4.30
14 September $13.35
17 September $9.00
28 September $24.17
Another bad downturn in trading luck.
This time around I didn't even want to blog about this immediately after it happened.
Then it happened again, and again over a few consecutive days.
Be it shorting the NASDAQ, S&P500 or TSLA. All dieded.
It basically cause my August loss to balloon to 4.7K.
Then in a mere few days of early September, something similar happened and I lost another approximately 4K. Thankfully a market recovery came in play a day or two later to recover some of my losses.
Still ended up losing about 1.2K in September so far.
Terrible.
Must.
Stop.
This.
This wanton waste of money.
