Stryder
New and Old Managed FX
SFX still flat, would really like to see them to new highs, it's been a while.
Genoa good news, up for the week about .5% on their first solid week back in months. Very exciting, running a system with arbitrage combined with a breakout strategy. Trades a good bit and after one whole week is positive. Time will tell of course. He's been running it profitably on his own accounts for several months and felt confident enough to take it live. Better yet he's made money for us and followed his system. We shall see how it goes. Trades at PFG.
Looking at a new fellow named Sebastian, record looks solid.
Working out details on the Mucky Duck program where you can put in as little as $1000 and the arbitrage program will let loose for a week, going all out, burning your account to zero, breaking even, or making a bunch of money. I'm told the first week it ran 1k to 6500, this last week 5k dropped to 2500 then back to 6500 for the close. If you're interested let us know, we've contracted with the trader to run the program through us. Should be fun.
Have a deal from the same manager on a much more stable program we're watching, P15, up about 5% since it recently went live. Six systems, three-way arbitrage, backtesting equity curve looks very good. Keeps making money which is always a good sign (and a very short time - 1.5 weeks roughly - so pretty much tells us nothing). We'll see if it continues. Of course has drawdowns, he says as much as 20% is possible always with alternative investments. We'll see how it goes going forward, we're getting live account statements and it's working so far.
Stryder ETFs looking terrific, up a bunch of weeks in a row, I'm adding them to my account for next week. Great to see. DAX also looking good. Duster hurting, bunch of losing days in a row. Again if you'd like to see the daily spreadsheets email us and we'll share it with you so you can watch if you'd like.
Heard of a couple other programs that do well we're looking into.
One tiny losing trade by Broadbeach a few days ago.
RTI up nice yesterday, down a good bit today.
Managed Forex investing
We’re working on a new site that will combine the blog and ForexCTA.com and all our sites together, should be slick. Ideally will launch in the next few weeks.
Managers doing fine. SFX to new highs, impressive.
Stryder had a winning day after a bunch of losers, nice to see. HVB doing well, to new highs a couple days ago.
Genoa loser yesterday, one trade this month so far.
G1 down again today after being up in the morning, disappointing.
Managed Accounts
Momentum off a bit more, to go over their max drawdown of 15%, we shut them down at 17% at PFG. GFS we’ll still watch as it’s traded differently - and clearly more successsfully, haven’t focused on it however.
G1 no trading, Genoa, SFX no trading.
G5 off again on the month - not good. Haven’t had a decent up month in nearly three months now. Same goes for 007.
