Equity Peaks in the Stock Index Portfolio and Live vs Hypothetical in Algorithmic Trading

Capstone Trading

We go over the equity peaks with portfolio transitions and the difference between live vs hypothetical in the 200K Portfolio - trading six micros of the Stock Index Portfolio 25.


The 50K Portfolio trades 1 micro and has similar results this month based on 1/6th of the trading size as the 200K Portfolio.


Trading the short side really boosted our results the last two days and put us up on the year. Being able to short stock index futures is a key to short term trading in a market downturn. You don't have to be a bear to short the market. We short the market as part of our short term trading methodology that provides an alternative to long only bullish investing. Our trading methodology can also take long trades.
