Capstone Trading
Dec 15, 2023

The 250K Portfolio has been updated to Portfolio 52 with the addition of Cobra Crude 2024. It is now included in the latest Portfolio.


There were no live trades today. We discuss the hypothetical results while we wait for a good drawdown entry alert.


The 250K Portfolio was down in hypothetical trade today -$905, to increase the drawdown to -$6,600 (out of a max historical drawdown of about 27.5K) in a two day losing streak. Another 6-8k drawdown either intra-day or end of day could set us up for a drawdown entry alert.


The Stock Index Portfolio 27 E-mini was down -$1,355 today to generate a -$7,500 drawdown out of a 23k historical max drawdown. 


The Stock Index Portfolio 27 Micro was down -180.75 today with all trades being the same except for the Momentum Reversal Micro NQ with a larger loss of -$172 versus -$1280 in the E-mini (1/10th would be -$128). This was a $44 difference per Micro or $440 difference per E-mini.


We like to start on drawdowns to reduce account volatility and give us the opportunity to reduce our risk and have quicker snap backs. The stubborn low VIX bid is not generating much profit or loss on the intra-day trades.
