I´m trading the 30k Portfolio with 30.000 USD initial capital.
I don´t employ other strategies now because this portfolio employs 11 different trading systems and I don´t have enougth capital for do it, but there are others than I have interest and I will add in future if they have low correlation.
I only recently started on C2 (mid-June). I started trading Simplicity Trading at various scales (100%, 150%, 200%) depending on when I was adding in other systems or not on a $100k account. He has a 96% success rate. Concern of course is he has been LONG in all his position since November so what happens on a bear market. The six trades I was involved with would have netted me about $21k in 3.5 weeks but I panicked a couple of times and got out of trades early and one in particular I scratched (I would have made $8k on that one trade). I also traded with Tech Surfer Aggressive but NQ is a bit nuts and his trades seemed to go a bit random. Ended up just slightly with him (few hundred bucks). I also tried out Trade XPert Crude Oil but seemed to just be chewing up my money.
After 4 weeks I am up about $8k on a $100k account after all fees and subscriptions so about 8%. In the coulda shoulda woulda department it was 21%.
I am experimenting with a sub account (I use Tradovate) which allows me to manually trade along with the auto trading (which happens in the main account). If I trust the auto trade entry position more than myself (I do) then I use it as an entry floor and in the sub account I stay on the same side of the position (you can’t hedge as that is illegal) but I may scalp a few times again trusting the basic knowledge of the auto trading algo that I have come to mostly understand the profile of. Nothing great but up about $250 doing that with no losses with that strategy.
