About me

Maybe I should tell more about me in a post here aside from what you see in the right bar of this blog. I am a trader, that is what I do first and foremost and I can live out of it better than 99% of earth population as the markets do provide enough liquidity to be able to do that anytime my capital allows it. Aside from that I have a store which currently acts like main income as my capital does not allow me to live out of the market. I love my store, its what kept me on the track for a much higher purpose and I will always be grateful to it and the people behind as I always am with people that provide me with any kind of support. I have a cat that I found on the road and could not let there, I love that cat also as I do love animals in general. I also love dogs, horses and mostly any other creature as long as it does not bite me sting me or harm me in any way as probably all of you do, its only natural and probably depends on the heart. I do have most likely a soft heart and sometimes I listen to it and find myself in trouble but you see that`s the only soft part you will ever find at me and I also have a brain which takes me out of trouble after solving it. I also have weaknesses one of it is proud, its a weakness and a strength in the same time as it is the thing that makes me feel bad if you step on it but its also the thing that makes me unbreakable (that and my special market abilities), together they do make me realize how small some people actually are. I am a man that is very hard to trick, you need to touch the heart for that anything that does not do that does not trick me even if you think it does. I always follow my purpose, purpose that most times is invisible so when you think you won it is true, you won everything I don`t care for and I won everything I care for in the same time... most of the time, with most people that does not step on my pride and when they do be sure its not over. I live and lived more than most people can say about living, I always do and always did whatever I like ever since I was a kid and that will never change, that was my purpose and that is what living is. I`ll follow and push things much more farther that you think is possible, I never forget nor forgive big things and I always forget and forgive small things. I do not react to the "pennies", its what most of you count and live for and that is why our interests will seldom cross. I am a honest man when you are honest and I am a honest man when you are not and that because most likely your lack of honesty did not affect me in any way, you thought it did but the truth is like I said I won what I cared for and leaved you the "pennies". There is a lot of "I" and in the end maybe that is the thing, its all around that and with that in the center...btw there is also another special thing "A.I" :)) that I could not miss mentioning in this post.

        

How do I trade

Often times when I think about how I traded or why I traded in a certain way in a certain day its like seeing myself in a environment similar to a control center where I`m switching buttons and taking decisions, some of them in split of seconds, according to the situation in order to win the battle - something like "missile lock" thing. I do have in front of me all the panels required, all the information needed and all the buttons to switch on and off to turn the situation in my favor if needed. Sometimes, some decisions I take can be awfully bad and its of no wonder, this is a hard game and it’s not for the faint of heart as you do have to stay cool in the toughest situations and make your decisions as good as you can. I can choose to trade however I like and most of the times it’s not the market that dictates the way I trade (which might seem strange for some) - the reason for that is that the market, believe it or not, it’s pretty much doing the very same thing every day so I can choose the way to go, I can go safe if I want to or I can go risky, there are very few situations that actually can dictate me the way to go as so called setups are nothing more than random patterns in my view which can turn out to be favorable as often as unfavorable to the trader betting on them.

Going on the safe path means I DO NOT LOSE period. It becomes merely a waiting game with cookies to be taken when they do appear and in this game "cookies" means cash, a lot of cash or small cash depending on the capital the trader has.

Going on the other path where I take multiple risks everyday on the attempt to seriously boost the account - remember I always know what I`m doing and the risks are willingly taken - triggers the possible drawdown’s which in the old days could mean the wipe-out of the account –large bet, large leverage and deadly wrong direction (now not possible due to the last 20%, check my previous post)



Today, in the morning I was bored of hunting cookies – I was so since last night when I could have gained a lot more than I did for yesterday – so I said I will get a serious % boost on my equity but due to a mistake it did not work, a trade was opened without me knowing why and believing is a mistake I got in the defence mode to check to code and whatever parameters might have trigger it – it turned out to be a valid trade except the alert trigger failed to pop up.

Soooo...the result of the day, well I was aiming for a lot and lost a little (in the middle of the day when I`m writing this – I still have another half of day) which is not bad at all, every time I aim for a small gain I get a small gain up until when small gains start to piss me off.


And btw, I will try to “become” just be patient and thank you for your time.

When we speak of traders/markets/money there are two words we must keep in mind: clean and never-ending so when speaking about matching a professional trader you need those to be able to be in your best possible situation which is at most ==. I have an advice to all, if you do have currently a lot of cash, which I currently lack I send an open invitation play them in the markets but remember the reason that many traders are millionaires is that they started as billionaires do not say you have not been warned. Please read the disclaimer.

Some might remember the compound interest.


And at the end of the day, with me thinking at love and not paying attention to the market I lost, OMG a losing day -0.20%. This would be the first losing day in a while...a 2 weeks while I guess, 2 weeks of tiny profits between 0.20 and 3%. You see, some are spending while some are compounding. If you ask me the latest is the smart one.



Kind regards,

Limits

Unless your brain is smaller than a peanut, my apologies for this to most part of my readers but I do have my own particular reasons for using the expression, you will realize that the only limits for a professional trader are capital and market liquidity (kne..). As of right now, personally I did not bother to test my skills, strategies/algorithms in there where professional CTA`s are with AUM -  http://www.managedfutures.com/top_cta_rankings.aspx  - a thing that requires a few minor adjustments to the current strategy witch, due to the same limits mentioned above would only work up to a few million dollars, larger capital than that might bite to deep in to the liquidity pool of an instrument. However at some point in the future, I will also provide in this blog a simulation of my algorithms performance achieved with a very large AUM - just like the CTA page shows - using Ninjatrader simulator and later maybe even think to get in to business. (hence the title of this blog ;) ) 

As of right now I must specify that the 80% part of my strategy that I`ve actually achieved back in 2011-2012 would have also been enough to win the game however the latest 20% part is absolutely brilliant at overcoming all its small drawbacks and such all the circuits are closed. Of course for the moment I need some more tests, that`s buying and selling when nobody understands anything which is what I am currently doing, stress tests. Implementing the latest 20% meant going on the path of asset management as both the possible performance and assumed risk have dropped considerably and while right now I do not expect stunning performance like 250%/ year I still expect up to 60% which is quite good considering the fact that with all the strategy circuits closed if you put your money in the bank is not safer than if I play with them. Of course I only play with my own personal cash now so I can say and do whatever I want here, do not take anything here as investment advice or trading lessons or whatever, I am not a licensed trading adviser.       

First Post

A blog about trading on the financial markets like many other around and yet different. Different because this particular blog is created to show the track record of someone who can anytime play in the same league with the most skilled professionals in this industry and yet beat them at the game, someone who managed actually to beat the game even if for the time being the reward is yet to be seen - from where the title of this blog - sooner or later the inevitable will happen though.


I`ve started to trade back in 2007 but it was 2000 the year when I`ve put my hand on some books about financial markets written by Reuters and after reading them I knew what I`ll do. Of course a very long time I had no idea how to actually win at this game, most of those who had tried failed, I`ve failed also, many times. 2007 was the year when I`ve started seriously to try to find a way to beat the game and back in 2011 I`ve made it.


80% of the things needed to win the game were done in 2011-2012. The trading results that will be shown here are 80% possible due to the research made then. 80% is not quite 100% obviously and the last 20% were even harder to achieve. As of this moment there`s nothing left to do except finding possible small errors in some algorithms and from here the “reloaded” word in the description of the blog.



Most post in this blog will simply be about the net results of each day, the results will be posted as %.
