There is a substantial risk of loss in trading. You should therefore carefully consider
whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition. You should read,
understand, and consider the Risk Disclosure Statement that is provided by your broker
before you consider trading. Most people who trade lose money.
I´m happy to present my first and for the time being my only strategy on C2: LongTermGrowth (100% TOS)
In this strategy I combine several trading approaches like trend following option trading, technical swing trading and volatility trading by using ETPs like XIV or VXX. By personal experience I found this combination very fitting in terms of risk profile and correlation so I wanted to share my personal trading and see if people like it. I have strict rules for risk-control and managing open trades so the loosers don´t get out of control. As the name suggests, I´m here to perform in the long run and to prove that trading and longevity can go hand in hand. I use low overall leverage so the drawdowns are likely to be kept in check. Also noteworthy, I have limited the number of subscribers to 100 so we don´t move the markets especially with option trades.
What do you guys think about it? I´d be happy if you share your oppinion.
Any comments? What do you think about it - would you invest? If not - why?
I´m relatively new to signal providing, before I was solely trading my own money. So I´d like to know what people expect from a system. Perhaps I´m capable of creating a more fitting one if my current system doesn´t get appreciation (still, I will always stick to my principles). I can´t really think of a downside except for the jung age but that´s why I´m asking anyways so thanks in advance.
Just a heads up, still outperforming the market and other leading option strategies. Feel free to subscribe and test my system for 14 days or to wait till a market correction - when ever that will happen… (weird times we have) Meanwhile me and my subscribers are happy to profit continuously.
I´m also glad for feedback from subscribers or nonsubsribers so feel free to post.
Looks not bad at all. Your most noticable drawdown occured on November, when you had a sequence of 4 losing trades, 3 of them on the same instrument and direction. Do you mind sharing what happened then?
I´m glad you ask, that´s easy to explain. Back then the portfolio wasn´t diversified at all unlike it is now because I still wasn´t sure if I wanted to issue 3 stand-alone systems or just 1 with all strategies. But I wanted to get started. So in the beginning I was trading volatility only and there was a 18% drawback in SVXY where I had written a short put. Thus the ~8% drawdown in my account.
Now I don´t write naked short puts or calls on volatility products anymore because it doesn´t fit into my moneymanagement with the combined portfolio.
The stock markets are getting strong again after a positive FED-meeting on Wednesday(03/15). Not surprisingly my portfolio LongTermGrowth is gaining good profits again.
So if you´re still searching for a stable long term oriented system, get your seat while there are still some free ones (limited subscribtions). Also you have a 7 day free trial so I invite you to join us and get an impression of my trading style.
