Welcome to our Trade Diary
Here we post a record of our strategies and trades for full disclosure. Not all trades are winners. It’s managing the ratio of winners and loosing trades that make you a successful trader. People often are unaware of the ratios of winners and losers that exist even among profitable traders. That and seeing a “draw down” in a live trade are often best understood when you can just see them first hand. So in the effort of full disclosure we list our trades here each time we re-test the strategy- usually annually.

We gauge the number of trades and their exits on market conditions so the number of trades will vary. The strategy used in trading these 60 days is taught in the “Trading with a Small Account Class”.

Here is the most recent “Small Account Strategy Test.” We take a $500.00 account at least once a year and apply the Directional Trade Strategies to see how long it takes to double it, or what the balance is in 60 days. Here is the actual Account summary from the brokerage website for our most recent evaluation:

Below is a spreadsheet download that is easier to read:

In this most recent test, over the 60 days we placed a total of 9 trades. 7 of the 9 were winners (highlighted green) and 2 were losers (highlighted red) for a win loss ratio of 77.7%. The net result was a profit of $541.81 on our $500.00 account, which was now at $1,041.81. A profit of 108.36% in 60 days with Directional Trade Technical Analysis.

NOTE: These trades were all made available as they were happening to subscribers of our Directional Trade Alert Newsletter.
