Previous weeks (5-day performance only):

62.5% chance of a green week. Average weekly result is +0.6%. Average winning week: +2.17%. Average losing week: -1.76% W/L = 1.23.

Not bad really. Imagine how good that curve would be if I calculate holding the winners beyond Friday, to capture those big moves identified above! And so at this point of the system I shall cease tracking weekly performance and instead I shall make one big portfolio to track them all, and to track all the stopouts. I’ll take profits where sensible, and keep the -4% stop rule. Let’s see just how good I can get that equity curve!
